Chimera

By LeeAnn Olivier

STB Poetry Prize Selection (2024)

Devils, water nymphs, ghosts, witches, and human monsters all populate the Southern-gothic dreamscapes in Chimera. Bridging such dichotomies as myth and reality, life and death, and water and land; these poems shimmer in a liminal space. As the speaker navigates through the trauma of acute liver failure and brain injury, she weaves a spellbook mapping her way out of the Underworld via the forests and swamps of Louisiana and Texas.
