Holy Transmemberings by Maria Constanti is an evocative and mythopoetic journey through poetry, exploring themes of transformation, ancestry, memory, and the sacred. Rooted in feminist literature, mythology, and mysticism, the collection weaves together the corporeal and the metaphysical, mapping a landscape where the body, language, and nature are in constant metamorphosis. Through dreamscapes, surrealist imagery, and ritualistic storytelling, Constanti reclaims the female voice, delving into mythology, grief, and rebirth with haunting lyricism.

This work is deeply attuned to the spiritual and the liminal, drawing from symbolism, nature, and folklore to create a poetic cartography of identity. The verses traverse the thresholds between past and present, the personal and the collective, exile and homecoming, offering a meditation on death, rebirth, and the mystical forces shaping existence. With rich, oceanic language and a mythological
consciousness, Holy Transmemberings speaks to readers who seek poetry that is both philosophically profound and emotionally visceral.
