Guernica Editions, 2022
Erin Emily Ann Vance’s first collection of poetry interrogates the position of the female body in folklore, pop culture, and history. Exploring the natural, the supernatural, and everything in-between, the poems in this collection writhe with sharp, and often lurid imagery, digging into the marrow of “sweet wickedness.” The poems in A History of Touch haunt the reader with a both a bitter familiarity and the “the woebegone, the winsome, the wild.”

"Erin Emily Ann Vance's first novel reads like a Wes Anderson movie set in a Robert Kroetsch small town." -Bruce Cinnamon, Author of The Melting Queen (Newest Press 2019)

"With language that dazzles and haunts, Erin Emily Ann Vance has honored the work of surrealist Remedios Varo in every line of these poems. In The Sorceress Who Left Too Soon each poem is more visceral and strange than the last. There is a deep melancholy here, but something more: a door to a realm beyond our own, where reality unspools and freedom is found." - Catherine Garbinsky, author of All Spells Are Strong Here (Ghost City Press 2018)

Anticipation
Tonight I will dream that the pleats in my dress
Are Spanish moss and that I
Am the ancient tree in which
The magpies hide their sacred things

Spring
When I was young we housed doves
ivory springing from concrete cages.
One march birthed infants
-one still born.
Still warm in my hand I held the tiny,
foetal being
and cried, icy tears marked its grave.
Against my mother’s wishes
I refused to place it in the trash
and buried it out back,
in the rain.

"Spellbinding, incantatory, and downright creepy, these poems invoke candle-lit rituals read in the dead of night."
"Gorgeous, hyper-sensory, haunting... Vance's voice is powerful and distinct. She's major." -Mike Thorn, author of Shelter for the Damned
