This new book, The Witch in the Word Machine, is a collection that
underpins Jenni Fagan's entire approach to words. Her spell poems are
portraits of people, lovers and cities: Paris, New York, Edinburgh,
Detroit, LA, and San Francisco. The excerpts of her Truth poem are a
political response to great uncertainty in the world right now.
This collection is an exploration of words as spells, incantations,
curse and solace.
