"WITCH is sexy, frightening and cerebral. Rebecca Tamas is the real deal." KATHERINE ANGEL; WITCH is a strange, visceral and darkly witty debut by a startling new voice in British poetry. Rebecca Tamas reckons with blood and earth, mysticism and the devil, witch trials and the suffragettes, gender and sexuality.

At turns lyrical, philosophical and obscene, WITCH evokes the intimate, sensual power of nature and merges it with the revolutionary potential of women's voices. These are poems as spells - spells against suppression, silence and obedience; hexes that cling to your body like sweat, full of a messy, violent joy, `a small, bright, filthy song'. Feminist, ecological and occult, WITCH grabs history and shakes it, demanding: `Wake me up when it really gets started'.
