Within these pages lies a world in which stars snarl, candles sob, and foxes build temples to their unfathomable gods. Have you ever wanted to follow the pull of a golden key toward a treasure under the sea?
In these sixteen sestinas, Campbell creates a swirling dreamworld of falling angels, rough beasts, and women "using hope to dowse for rain."
Yes, there is darkness in this world: skeletons emerge in dark barns, ghosts swirl amidst dismal laughter in sad places.
But there is also hope: women liberate themselves through transformation, peaceful hands reject pistols in favor of flowers, and an angel reminds us "we wreck/our hearts when we forget to love their wounds."
Dive in and learn why the wayward angels went astray.
