A History of Touch

 

Guernica Editions, 2022

Publisher's Site.


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)

The Sorceress Who Left Too Soon: Poems After Remedios Varo

 

Coven Editions, May 2019


Illustrated by Manahil Bandukwala


Out of Print


"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
