This short collection explores mermaid folk tales and other ocean and female themes in a celebration of escape and transformation. In awarding the author a Literary Arts Fellowship, Maria Mazziotti Gillan wrote, “Karen Braucher’s poetry is marked by her intellect and her ability to refine and hone language. Counterbalancing her intellectual prowess is the sensuality of these poems, the delight in touch and fragrance. These are beautiful, unforgettable poems.”
