“Amy Wray Irish is a fresh voice echoing Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Sharon Olds.”
—Michael J. Henry, Executive Director of Colorado’s Lighthouse Writers Workshop, author of No Stranger Than My Own and Active Gods
In Down to the Bone, poet Amy Wray Irish wields visceral language to strip away the false narratives women are forced to wear. Irish roots out our strength—the bones we can’t see but hold us together.
After shedding our dead weight, Down to the Bone inspires women to rise up again. These poems invoke the witchcraft of bone broth; dig into the healing power of the earth; reframe Adam and Eve; and rewrite fairy tales to release us from our “princess prison.” In the tradition of Clarissa Pinkola Estés and Robert Bly, Irish is a storyteller who reveals every tale as metaphor for a journey within. These poems are an invitation to give birth to ourselves again.
“In Down to the Bone, Amy Wray Irish wields the written lightning as she explores, questions, and champions a new mythology all our own." —Veronica Patterson, author of five books of poetry, most recently Sudden White Fan.

Paperback. Etat : Good. An encounter with an alien enemy. A strange epiphany in a fog-bound park. A collector of the names of the dead faces their own death. Rebel divinities respond to the prayers of des-pairing creation for deliverance. Bureaucrats find their grip on reality dissolving in odd ways. In these ten finely crafted and unsettling stories, Maxwell's slipstream style interweaves strands of naturalism, science fantasy, and the experimental irreal, illuminated by sharp flashes of wit and language of lyrical precision. Many of the characters exist in a state of slippage, alienated from a world they thought they knew by an encounter with something that is indifferent to them, but to which they cannot remain indifferent.More than twenty years separate the earliest and the most recent of the stories in this collection, but certain persistent preoccupations provide loose thematic links-environmental crime and retribution; the ways, both overt and insidious, in which institutions can corrupt or sacrifice those within them; the interpretations and recording of past events by unreliable narrators; and the pervasive, irreducible weirdness of existence.
