Wedding Underwear for Mermaids

Linda Ann Strang's first poetry collection skilfully entwines fairy tales, womanhood, African culture, and the female psyche. The warrior mother, the spurned lover, the maltreated bride: they are all here, expertly drawn in lush, original language that you'll want to wallow in from beginning to end. This heady mix of fairy tales, African culture, pagan myth, and feminist thought carries the reader on a wave to the surreal and the enchanting. Like the siren's call, this mind-expanding trip through the female psyche pulls readers in with beautifully crafted language that is bold, intimate, provocative, and sensual.
