Apocrypha
I just finished a spectacular little book of poetry and prose, Apocrypha by Catherynne M. Valente.
Her writing is so disturbingly beautiful, telling of the sorrows of fairy tale witches, struggles between wicked stepmother and daughter, tragic heroes and even the birth of language itself. Apocrypha is just another example of Valente’s brilliant ability to paint gorgeously surreal pictures with the written word.
