In her latest collection, Dorothea Lasky brings her signature style-a deeply felt and uncanny word-music-to all matters of creativity, from poetry and the invention of new language to motherhood and the production of new life. At once a personal document as it is an occult text-complete with the authors own occult drawings-,Milkinvestigates overused paradigms of what it means to be a creator and encapsulates its horrors and joys-setting fire to the enigma that drives the vital force that enables poems, love, and life to happen.
