Datura

The lady moth and moon unfurls her shy and deadly petals. These navigators of the midnight sea --- occultists and poets and devotees seeking after that which seduces them --- are familiar with the dream of intoxication that follows her scent. She is the woman in the song, the night-blooming narcotic, gorgeous and strange. She is the horned blossom, the guardian of the threshold, the keeper of madness.
Dautra is a literate and narcotic text comprising the work of leading contemporary poets from the occult and pagan communities.
From triadic rubaiyat to sestina, acrostic, lyric, free verse, praise hymn, and accompanied by six essays, this anthology will inspire both ritual practice and further incursions into living poetry.
