  • Anna Journey, in her new book of poems, Vulgar Remedies, creates an alchemical self whose shimmering limbic / alembic lyrics distill the mysterious terrors of childhood, the dangerous passions of adults, into her own honey-dusk 'voodun': protective, purified to gold.

These poems are erotic, vertiginous, revelatory, their dazzling lyric force reflecting profound hermetic life.
