With lyrical malevolence, Serafina Bersonsage chronicles the evolution and dissolution of a literary critic-cum-storybook villain. Frustrated with the Midwest, the titular witch flees a small town for the even smaller world of academia, where she develops a crush on a dead poet and has a date in a psych ward and renames herself at a rest stop Starbucks, before venturing deep into the woods.These poems pair well with poisoned apples and a full-bodied red.SMALL TOWN WITCHWell before I cast a spellthey made a witch of mean only child in a school of sistersa wannabe Catholic turned heretica lonely prodigyso my teacher saidstaring down my shirt.I was a witch every Halloweenbut a vampire in first gradeon a random bored Tuesday, when I startedthat particular rumor and caused a panic.Two children were inconsolable;the principal, furious.My mother just poured more wine.I started learning languages -serpiente - and was curiousabout Communion, and couldn't wait to taste -Mela, melas.My mother taught me early about palindromesin this our Salemwhere the schoolyard held my gallows, where I flew so that I would not swing.
