Her Terrible Splendor by Aza Pace

Her Terrible Splendor by Aza Pace
ISBN: 978-1-955082-10-5

There’s a weightlessness to these honest fragments of life in Aza Pace’s debut collection—soft transitions through myth, fairytale, and the feminine. In many poems, we get to know the witch Circe through the speaker’s eyes—whether standing victorious in a painting or running with the speaker in childhood as in “I Play Tag with Circe.” Circe opens a multitude of doors to understanding the self. Magic and witches are something to embrace just as the speaker embraces who she is. Pace utilizes a variety of forms and music to envelope the reader wholly in this stunning journey.
