Punctuation in poetry not only really matters, it's a powerful tool for communicating, it can radically alter meaning, tone, time & space... it's playful & Rishi @BetaRish @NineArchesPress makes it super fun. Book here: cathdrake.com

Beyond the mirror waits Lilith.
mflibra.com/products/1898-sc…
Published in 1898, Lilith is widely regarded as George MacDonald's most profound work and one of the masterpieces of Victorian fantasy. Dark, hallucinatory, and richly symbolic, Lilith explores life, death, redemption, and the mysteries of the soul. Preserved in its original publisher's binding, this scarce edition is a remarkable addition for collectors of George MacDonald and landmark works of fantasy literature.
