Inside Every Dream, a Raging Sea:
Available October 22, 2024 - pre-order now!

I’m excited to announce that my next poetry collection, Inside Every Dream, a Raging Sea will be released October 22, 2024 with Book*hug Press:

Our lives are full of personal legend. Trivial details can feel fated, weighted with meaning. What happens when we start to see the words we speak as spells? Where do the lines of ritual, magic, and daily life blur? Inspired by Worth’s professional tarot reading, these poems explore the thin veil between them and suggest it barely exists at all.

Confessional stories blend with the abstract and the occult, probing uncomfortable truths about age, regret, and shifting identity that emerge with the passing of time. Worth deftly shares the loss that comes from inadvertently discarding parts of ourselves—including our self-perception—or realizing our lives are different than we previously envisioned. We can see the world as a series of places haunted with our own memories.

Inside Every Dream, a Raging Sea elevates the everyday, celebrating memory as individual folklore. These poems offer a way into the interconnected elements of our lives and the world around us, embodying the state of possibility and openness we are all searching for.

Pre-order it here.

What People Are Saying about the mouth is a coven:

"Liz worth’s delicious book, with its cyphered grammar and bruised lip phrases, feels like prose as incantation. The world she describes – urban life reflected in powdery, blood flecked mirrors – is there to distract the reader while she carves out blasphemous arcana on the inside of your skull. This book will make you crave drugs and sleep and blood."

- Tony Burgess, author of Pontypool Changes Everything and The N-Body Problem

“The Mouth Is A Coven is a stunning work; I couldn’t put it down. Liz Worth’s writing is detailed and vivid, down to the most minute detail, whether mundane or supernatural. Reading it felt a lucid dream...or a creepy paranormal experience that left me unsure if it actually happened. Liz Worth has crafted an extraordinarily visual book that’s practically begging to be made into a film.”

-Pleasant Gehman, author of Rock’n’Roll Witch; A Memoir Of Sex Magick, Drugs And Rock’n’Roll (Punk Hostage Press)
