Everything Is Real

<p>For readers of Jeannine Hall Gailey Emily Corwin Sasha West and Rebecca Lindenberg Rita Fenstein offers a collection of high fantasy horror chic poetry that mesmerizes with incantations conjuring a lover.  </p><p>Rita Feinstein's high-concept collection of tropey bent alternative fairy-tale poems interconnect to uncover the lore of a dark romantic relationship that exists in this world and others using hybridized formal constraints to make portals and gates.  </p><p>This is careless dangerous poetry spoken by a cunning heroine who wants us to believe that all creation starts with love. And/or violence and to conflate the two until my name is throbbing in his throat. Slayers are pitted against lovers and sex is a spell that creates as often as it destroys. Once upon a time all women were foxes and all men were hunters Feinstein spins. The older the fox the longer she had evaded capture the more tails she grew. Our nine-tailed heroine made running look easy. No man had touched her and precious few had seen her.</p><p>These are poems full of songs and delicious screams. </p><p><br></p>
