The Truth Is Told Better This Way

Poetry. Pulling from raw themes of grief and death, regret and discomfort, sadness and failure, Worth wears these poems down to their bones. Straddling dreamy, ethereal images and brutal honesty, THE TRUTH IS TOLD BETTER THIS WAY unravels its secrets one line at a time. The result is oracular and surreal, as each piece could be read as a magic spell that mesmerizes as much as a poem that tantalizes the senses. "Told with a wink and a sly smile, Worth's deliciously dark and defiant poetry crawls under one's skin and stays there. Like an unforgotten lover whom you just can't shake, the poems in this collection will keep you up at night."--Heather Babcock "Liz Worth has never been darker. In this new collection she transforms her craft of confessional writing into a filthy and flourishing fantasia; a witch's brew of the most poetic magicks."--dalton derkson
