Baba Yaga and the girl who ate the rope

In these incantatory poems, Kate Rogers reimagines family, folklore, and climate grief. Her muse: the Slavic witch Baba Yaga, both matriarch and mirror. An aging mother stamps her cloven foot in rage, forgets her children's names, casts spells against wildfire and rescues finches in her deep pockets. Moving between a mother’s decline and sweeping visions of a damaged ecosystem, Baba Yaga and the Girl Who Ate the Rope is a mythic spell-book, both tender and terrifying.
