Bücher von Jessica Raschke

Enter The Beguilings, a seductive world of striking poems that break through the confines of expectation in love, intimacy and identity. By turns illuminating and provocative, Jessica Raschke's second poetry collection reveals connections and collision points between sensual and spiritual needs. Raschke's writing is testimony to the beautiful truth of emotion and the pleasures of relinquishing control to find release.

Jessica Raschke uses words as shards, reflecting fragmented emotional states. Her poems in this collection, Luscious Glass Cage, glisten with confidence as they ricochet between the abstract and the deeply felt. But feelings are seen as capable of deception and, like reflections in a mirror, they are reversed and distorted. Despite a strong feeling for ambiguity, Raschke's poems hold a certain intimacy and the promise of revelation.
