BURIALS by Jessica Drake-Thomas is a collection of dark poetry with so much emotion.  Bringing together elements of witchcraft, ritual, relationships, and pain, one thing is certain: "you can't get rid of me or silence me!"  While reading I am reminded of themes of resilience and strength in these poems and spells.  There is a wide variety in this collection full of some sharp imagery linked to ashes, fire, bones, dirt, and all that Gothic goodness!  I find that most of these poems cut deep and from a novice-poetry reader's perspective they are extremely relatable.  This entire collection IS a whole mood, a complete aesthetic, and will continue to resonate with me!
