I live in a glass coffin. It only has room for me, nobody can join me and I can't leave. (The Glass Coffin) Frequently rooted in mythology, the poems in this volume borrow figures and images in an attempt to make sense of contemporary experience. They explore themes like love, grief, mental health, and coping with chronic illness. Experimenting with form and tradition, they investigate the depths of emotion and trauma. Little glass coffins in themselves, the poems encapsulate and showcase aspects of the human experience. Enveloped in hues of blue and green, this debut anthology promises to captivate and inspire.

Death hasn't visited Rowan Rose since it took her mother when Rowan was only a little girl. But that changes one bleak morning, when five horses and their riders thunder into her village and through the forest, disappearing into the hills. Days later, the riders' bodies are found, and though no one can say for certain what happened in their final hours, their remains prove that whatever it was must have been brutal. Rowan's village was once a tranquil place, but now things have changed. Something has followed the path those riders made and has come down from the hills, through the forest, and into the village. Beast or man, it has brought death to Rowan's door once again. Only this time, its appetite is insatiable.
