Poetry about the spirit of the prairies and the spirits that haunt them.
Deadly droughts, malevolent entities and snow drifts that keep secrets (at least until thaw) are just some of the encounters, spooky and otherwise, that await you in Prairie Spirit(s). Inspired by a bout of ‘landsickness’ (being homesick for the land where she grew up), nostalgia and an imagination that tends toward darkness, Parrish tackles the shadowy spaces of the prairie heart. Explore the darkness with her and discover the secrets of rakes forgotten in long grass, isolation, thin ice and ancient relics better left alone… but don’t forget your flashlight.

“The collection of poems impressed me with its wide variety, as it explored different facets of the supernatural (or, more specifically, the human spirit). There were moments of humor, horror, sorrow, and nostalgia scattered throughout. I appreciated how the seasons of prairies and landscapes were seamlessly woven into the supernatural themes and language of the poem. The imagery was abundant, and I recognized and appreciated every detail.”
