 [ Large Image ] | Shadow Blight Annick MacAskill 2022 / Canadian Poetry / $18.95 9781554472383 / Trade paper / 64 pp Shadow Blight considers the pain and isolation of pregnancy loss through the lens of classical myth. Drawing on the stories of Niobe—whose monumental suffering at the loss of her children literally turned her to stone—and others, this collection explores the experience of being swept away by grief and silenced by the world. Skirting the tropes (“o how beautiful / the poets make our catastrophes”), MacAskill interweaves the ancient with the contemporary in a way that opens possibilities and offers a new language for those “shut up in stillness.” To purchase this title: Add it to your cart | Other Books by this Author |  | Murmurations Annick MacAskill 2020 / Canadian Poetry / $21.95 CAN 9781554472086 / Trade paper / 96 pp |  | No Meeting Without Body Annick MacAskill 2018 / Canadian Poetry / $19.95 CAN 9781554471836 / Trade paper / 80 pp |
