The Esbat Sequence
With The Esbat Sequence, Tara Lindsey has traveled into the mist, bringing back half remembered memories and possible futures. A post-digital seanchaí, finding her voice in a constantly evolving world, she has tapped into something old, and simultaneously very, very new.Written mostly during the threshold hours before dawn, these non-linear Trickster tales, of Fire and ash and rebirth, of masks and lighthouses and “a fox who has secret knowledge of interstitial spaces”, are an invitation, to a world of stories and songs and things you can touch, and to more subtle, hidden things as well.The Esbat Sequence is a spell, a seed, planted deep in space and time, part of an unfolding cross-dimensional hyper narrative. It’s also as simple to read as a fairy tale, and occasionally twice as dangerous. It will fill your head with ideas. It will change you, if you let it.You have been warned.

I haven't read poetry since 2006 when one of my Lit teachers argued every single poem with me and I got frustrated with it... not that I blame him- he was just challenging me. When I started reading the Esbat Sequence I remembered why I love poetry in the first place. It's calming, it's raw, and you really see into your own soul as well as the author's.
Tara Lindsey really took me on a journey- the book hit me hard, making me think and feel ALL THE THINGS. The introduction of the book states:
as simple to read as a fairy tale, and occasionally twice as dangerous. It will fill your head with ideas. It will change you, if you let it.
That sums it all up quite nicely... I'll keep this short and sweet- read this book. You won't regret it.

This is a lovely collection of poetry. Tara has a magical way with words; she weaves them around the reader in a silvery web, and it takes a while to shake them off once you lift yourself from the pages.
There are a number of themes running throughout: transformation, growth, magic, love, mystery; what is hidden, what is there, just beneath the surface, if you are only able to find it.
These aren't poems to be taken lightly; they're to be savored and digested, slowly, with time for personal contemplation between.
