Fantastic little read to take in in one sitting if you're feeling courageous. Maybe it's from one sitting I'm judging this, but I can help but feel towards the middle of the book the theme of witches disappears more into the symbology and the cutting and pasting of biography into Taisia's poetic biographies. It's just a little nit pick, but anyone who lauds Anne Carson as well as Anne Carson as a witch deserves ALL the brownie points. ALL of them. Really.
