We ask if you are showing symptoms, that you stay home. Thank you kindly.About The Book:Sheologies begins with a folktale of a world where lagoons speak, flowers pray, and seagulls wear kippahs. The poems trace a nonlinear journey through a world left by Jewish feminine ancestors, plantcestors, and priestesses, asking what it means to heal lineage, to center women’s magic as community care, and to call on a feminine God.About The Author:Hannah Yerington is a poet, a Jewish Arts and Magic educator, and the director of the Bolinas Poetry Camp for Girls. She comes from Bolinas, California, and currently lives between Bellingham, Washington, and Vancouver, B.C. with her old gentleman dog, Paddington. She has an MFA from Bowling Green State University. When she’s not writing, she’s drinking tea, or talking to flowers, preferably at once. This is her first book. R﻿eview:&quot;I am thoroughly enchanted by poet Hannah Yerington&#x27;s debut chapbook. Sheologies dances the shimmering line between poetry and prayer with exceptional grace, deftly weaving a tender lyric voice with sensual imagery and a thematic exploration of sacredness in the everyday feminine. Yerington is a poet who knows that to truly see something is to sanctify it - and through her luminous gaze, we glimpse a world lit softly from within by magic. Here, the fierce courage of teenage girl ancestors is honoured at last, flower spirits whisper from their garden beds, and soul-cleansing rituals can be cast with tap water and a chipped teacup. Readers will be drawn in by Sheologies&#x27; intimate exploration of femininity, Jewish magic, and nature - and left with a feeling of deep reverence for the miraculous hidden in the mundane.&quot;
