"I wish I was pretty, like a budding flower or the dusky sky before a storm. A sweet, beautiful innocence, destined to be more.."

Eurydice's Tale is a retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, from Eurydice's perspective. Eurydice stops Orpheus on his way to the River Lethe and asks him to hear her side of the story instead of abandoning his memories. With nods to the original mythology and a fresh perspective on love and grief, Eurydice's Tale is my favorite of all of my previous chapbooks.
The remastered version is downloadable and available in my Ko-fi shop here!

Epistolary, or, What Doesn't Kill You Lasts Longer
Hades comes to me. He's been a little less busy, lately. Wings barely tucked in because he knows I like to see them on him, he perches next to me.
He is smiling. It's disconcerting. Now, I know you favour the unfashionable, but that took things a smidge far, don't you think? I shrug. ‘Call me Clarissa.’
Oh, no. No. I’m here to recast you as Lovelace. ‘So now I’m the villain?’ He lightly lifts my chin. I beg to differ there. What might you not do in the rake’s shoes?
His fingers drift away to light a cigarette. High time you roved a little. It’s an art. You're a charmer. What's the harm? Don’t go giving your whole heart away again.
‘Do you even have a heart?’ He blows slow rings. I admit I’m not easily moved. Love then. Crave until you can't form words. Surrender and accept nothing less
than surrender in return. Fleeting, meaning everything and nothing, it all defines life, my darling. You're not dying at the moment. Go out and live a little. He shakes
wide his wings, rises, and lightly kisses my lips. Smoke. You know where to find me. Don't send me any letters. Just breathe, you fragile, human thing. Breathe.

I loved him       (I think).                    Shameless. Laid before him,                    stupid lamb                    in a                              slaughterhouse.
— Karese Burrows, from “Persephone Writes a Poem,” This Is How We Lost Each Other

What is hell? I maintain that it is the suffering of being unable to love.
