Sirens Toni Oswald

A girl born a bird becomes a Her. Traversing trauma, ecocide, violence, magic, and the rise of the shattered feminine, Sirens is a wake-up song sung by the daughters of earth. "Is anything lost ever found?" they ask the collective we. After falling through space, a girl is born part bird who becomes a Her. Her floats and flies-spins the loom of women's work-baking blue pies, hopping trains, and working as a call girl. Through the tapestries of surrealist landscapes, mystical mantras, and shadowed logos, the story of Her is the story of us, and the emergency of the feminine's urgent cry to wake up. Mixing "one part madness, one part genius, blood and sulphur," Sirens is a feminist manifesto for dark times, warning us that only love will carry us over and beyond life's most difficult verbs.
