A Handful Of Words by Wyrd Lea

Author of Melodia returns with the sensual and surprising, A Handful of Words. From nature horrors to feminist connection with the cosmic divine, this collection playfully flitters through a cycle of love, death, and awe.

About the Author

Wyrd Lea's (they/them) writing leans to weird, haunting, grotesque, and surrealist, and gothic, influenced by childhood trauma, ecology, and a neurodivergent mindscape. In the same vein as Laurie Halse Anderson, Ocean Vuong, Franny Choi, and Katherine Dunn, they are passionate about poetry featuring narratives based upon regaining voice, autonomy, familial trauma and history, both autobiographical and drawn from modern tales and mythology. You can find more about them at their website.
