Beldams & Bedlam: Another Verse, Another Curse

by Jen Chichester

Captured within the "pages" (as I was reading this eBook on a tablet) are 41 poems that will mesmerize you, frighten you, inspire you, and make you feel normal... Or a little more normal than normal, anyway. Chichester has captured life, insanity, womanhood, and so much more in her words.

My favorite poems in this third collection of poetry from this author are the ones that revolve around the witchy side of things. There are a few such poems in this book. I love that Chichester takes the time to rhyme with much of her poetry, yet she isn't afraid of free verse either. She also has a knack for alliteration.

I can honestly say that Chichester is one of my favorite "new" poets, and I highly recommend all poetry lovers check out her work.

This collection of poetry is a lovely, haunting commentary on aging and the passage of time. The magical and mythical language highlights both the wistfulness and joy of growing older.

Amazing creativity

The very first poem dragged me in, I felt compelled to keep reading, each poem oozing with creativity and It's own little story.
