| Blending lore and magic with contemporary questions around belief and beauty, power and fear, this stunning new poetry collection from Kelly Rose Pflug-Back is a grimoire for our times. Spanning centuries, The Hammer of Witches reaches from present-day urban dystopias and the unlikely enchantments that they harbour, to medieval Norway, where the first Christian king waged war on the countrys gender-nonconforming wizards. Macabre imagery, speculative themes, and everyday mysticism blur the distinction between the real and the unreal, challenging modern concepts of beauty, power, and fear. In her first full-length collection, Kelly Rose Pflug-Back weaves together the magical and the monstrous, the sacred and the profane, to make sense of a world where primeval forests are clear-cut to build parking lots, and where it often seems that the gods have all gone to live behind the veil. |

"“The Hammer of Witches revels in the grim beauty of modern fables and primordial desires. Kelly Rose Pflug-Back conjures poems with imagery like fine silver filigree—fishbone combs, creaking whale’s ribs, and the distant hum of Prince’s “Purple Rain.” This book is a hiding spot you want to crawl into with all your beloved and broken bits.” —Adčle Barclay, award-winning author of If I Were in a Cage I’d Reach Out for You and Renaissance Normcore"
