Description
In this striking collection of poems, Jennifer Martelli delves deep into the human psyche, exploring themes of desire, self-destruction, and the complexities of human existence. From suffocation to snakes, moon jellyfish to Marcia Brady, Martelli's Psychic Party Under the Bottle Tree fearlessly confronts the layers of anxiety that shroud our lives, leaving us spellbound with her poignant observations. Through vivid imagery and visceral language, she invites readers to confront their own anxieties, exploring the intricate emotions that shape our perceptions of the world. Brava to this skilled and necessary poet! This is the book we have been waiting for.
