Publisher's Synopsis

WITCH by Rebecca Tamás is a raw, strange book of poems that merges feminist exploration with occult expression and ecological language. At turns lyrical, philosophical and obscene, Tamás's astonishing debut evokes the sexual prowess of nature as an organism that swallows and consumes. These are poems that unsettle the reader, taking them to dark, magical places where earth and blood, politics and pornography, intermingle; they celebrate poetry as 'a small, bright, filthy song'. A visceral, unflinching and darkly witty first collection that introduces a major new voice in British poetry.



Our Booksellers Say...

"These poems burst with a wild imagination, like the 'small, bright filthy song' Tamas writes about. The witch and the devil of these poems are not quite of this world - or they are more of this world than we are. Tamas has a charismatic, confident poetic voice which is a pleasure to read and will have you repeating certain lines to yourself like the spells they are."
