Cradleland of Parasites by Sara Tantlinger is a deeply unsettling collection of poems about the Black Plague.
I‘m still very new to trying to focus more on poetry, and I‘m so grateful that I gave this one a read, even if I felt like I was torturing myself a bit considering the content and my anxiety around the current pandemic! 🙂

Mostly about the Black Death, but also about infection more broadly. A rough read (and not just because it's gross) - I hope to read this book again someday and have it hurt less. It won't.
And closing out my inadvertent run of black and red covers with some poetry!
