Recenzii
"This
lovingly
illustrated
book
is
a
compendium
of
women
writers
who
had
the
magic
touch."—BUST
"Literary Witchesis a kaleidoscopic grimoire that reveals our beloved literary craftswomen as the powerful witches we know them to be. Katy Horan's resplendent illustrations pulse with primal magic and are the kindling that set Taisia Kitaiskaia's gripping, exquisitely crafted words ablaze. This collaboration will not only inspire you to dig deeper into transportive works of fiction and poetry, but to access your inner creatrix. Above all,Literary Witchesis a call to action to become the witch who writes her own story and wills it into the world."
--- Kristen J. Sollée, author ofWitches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive
"Part portal into the superpowers of irreverent female literary heroines and part illustrated almanac of fun facts dispatched through the lens of the ultimate mystical female archetype,Literary Witchesis at the same time enormously enjoyable, rich in information, and visually brilliant."
--- Lisa Congdon, artist, illustrator and author
"Literary Witchesis itself an act of witchcraft, a spellbook to wake the living and the dead. Taisia Kitaiskaia and Katy Horan have conjured lucid, intuitive, psychoactive visions of how these brilliant women writers have inhabited space and time. Transformative, revivifying, gorgeous, unsettling, and intensely moving, this book is a volume of poetry, miniature encyclopedia, and twenty-first-century illuminated manuscript all at once. I'll treasure this book like a lucky object and return to it whenever I need courage, or mischief, or beauty, or permission."
--- Jia Tolentino, writer forThe New Yorkeronline
"Horan's beautiful, ominous illustrations combined with Kitaiskaia's juicy author highlights leave the reader wanting more. Together they cast an encouraging, powerful, feminine spell of honor & inspiration."
--- Faythe Levine, curator, filmmaker & author

"Kitaiskaia crafts mythological identities for each author in this wonderfully broad collection spanning Emily Dickinson to Octavia Butler to Sappho and Mirabai, each illustrated by Katy Horan and elevating witches from warty Halloween decorations to visionary and inspirational literary icons."—Shelf Awareness
"Gorgeous illustrations accompany profiles of female writers from every genre, identity and era conceivable. As necessary a project as I can imagine in this day and age, this is art, poetry and history marshaled together in tremendous, joyful celebration."—Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties, writing for NPRs Guide to 2017s Great Reads
