RITONA is pleased to announce the publication of And If I Go With Child? : Re-imagining the Mysteries of Tam Lin, by poet Charlotte Hussey.
‘His boneless fingers bend
to conjure newborn shapes
from perturbed clouds of matter,
a slippery, pink brood they fall
all around, or from me?
I wake, hands crossed
over my heart.’
Through twenty-seven poems, Charlotte Hussey explores the initiatory potential of the ancient Scottish faery story, “The Ballad of Tam Lin.”
The ballad tells the tale of a woman’s haunting encounter with a figure trapped by the Faerie Queen. In And If I Go With Child?, Charlotte Hussey becomes the story itself, and speaks beautifully in her poems of the power of redemptive love.
