Songs for the Witch Woman (deluxe edition) by Marjorie Cameron & Jack Parsons

by: Watkins Books




Deluxe edition (limited to 156 copies only)
Blue cloth with Quarter black Morocco, top edge gilt, lined cloth slipcase, premium 135gsm Italian paper. Comes in slipcase.
A series of poems written by Parsons reveal his feelings toward his often absent lover. And beside these words are images from the hand of Cameron, illustrating and echoing the intimate themes. After Parsons’ tragic death in June 1952 we find the notebook in which this work was recorded continues, as a bereaved Cameron keeps a diary of her magical working in Lamb Canyon, California. In the dark desert her words become a raw lament as she attempts to gain contact with her Holy Guardian Angel. And throughout the working, the memory of Jack is never far from her mind.
