Description
Winner of the John Ciardi Prize for Poetry, selected by Doug Ramspeck

Through the use of imagination, fairy tale and persona Dark Braid bridges the universal and the personal by focusing on the body, problematic relationships, illness (both mental and physical) and feelings of being an outsider.
Praise for Dark Braid: Poems
“Like dripping jewels, each of Elerath’s poems is a glimmering collage of images clipped from anatomy and botany books, old Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales and from the pages of fashion magazines.”
—Cynthia Cruz
“Dark Braid is a gift from the sky: its violence, its beauty, its endlessness, its suffocation, its water, its wind.”
–Jake Skeets, Oprah Daily
