Constructing a Witch by Helen Ivory<br><b>Poetry Book Society Winter 2024 Recommendation</b> #Portuguesepoetry sensuous musicDespite the Devil being conceived to direct human baseness away from our goodly selves, there has always been sin in the world. The Bible has it that woman is the weaker vessel, therefore her inferior ways could easily let the Devil into the house, and into her oh so corruptible body and thus the story begins. Helen Ivorys new collection Constructing a Witch fixes on the monstering and the scapegoating of women and on the fear of ageing femininity.
