<p>Poetry. THE HYDROMANTIC HISTORIES is a meditation on both personal and cultural mythology. Humans have been fashioning mythos and spinning creation narratives—of various sorts—for thousands of years. The poems in this book are preoccupied with illuminating by example: What do we gain from our myths? What do they teach us, and what do they cost us? What freedoms, foci, and reprieve do they offer, and how? This book is interested in the alchemy that ultimately facilitates the substance of our known universe: human darkness, in all its shades of cruelty, suffering, and ignorance—and its constantly- shifting dance with the illumination of joy, kindness, and knowledge. THE HYDROMANTIC HISTORIES is an interrogation of how we express and navigate the multiplicity of selves and realities that permeate our individual and collective human experience—and hopes to suggest a continued trajectory towards some sort of higher consciousness.</p>

                  Fox Frazier-Foley's Exodus in X Minor isn't a book you 'get.' It's a book that gets you. It grabs you on the first reading and doesn't let you go. It haunts you. You dream about it and wake up sweating, shaking, like you've been chased all night by a strange animal, one you can't quite identify. You catch glimpses of it, and it's beautiful, but you never see it completely clearly. You're desperate for it to reveal itself, and a little terrified. Exodus in X Minor -- this sharp, elusive book -- is smarter than I am, and it scares me in the best way possible. These poems unmoor me, and I'm so, so grateful for the challenge, for the lack of comfort they provide.- Beth Couture, author of Women Born with Fur
