Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles
by
by
If the sly & slippery-tongued mythological ancient Russian witch Baba Yaga reached out through space and time --
And had an email address --
And a poetry degree --
That would be this book.
Ask Baba Yaga is a weird and wonderful poetry project wrapped lovingly in the conceit of an advice column. Illuminated by brilliant flashes of insight, warmth, darkness and humor, this collection is starkly charming and witchy as fuck. Like you're reading McSweeney's and eating a maybe-old stew seasoned with lots of fennel & rosemary at the edge of a swamp and darkness is falling and you're laughing in a clever way at a dream you half-remember. It's kind of like that. It's half like that. It's entirely a delight.
5/5; the perfect gift for all your witch-friends & wayward souls.
