7 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Baba Yaga offers more off-kilter remedies for the modern dilemmas of an unstable age using her uncanny style, poetic simplicity, and surprising candor. In this follow-up to Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles, award-winning writer Taisia Kitaiskaia once again embodies the legendary witch of Slavic folklore, Baba Yaga, to provide life advice to the questioning and the hurting. Answering real questions from readers, Baba Yaga provides responses in the form of short poems that are lyrical, surreal, sometimes funny, and always honest. During these difficult days, Poetic Remedies for Troubled Times provides literary self-help for readers who appreciate Baba Yaga's strange, surprising style and striking honesty.

Baba Yaga returns with more advice for troubled times.

I can‘t believe it took me this long to get to the second one! This one is just as beautiful and powerful as the first one. With fantastic illustrations, this little book provides some advice on relationships, identity, and the rage against a cruel world.

This does make me want to reread some old Russian folk tales. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗

Here‘s my December #bookspinbingo board. As usual, I read a bunch but all over the place! I expect 2023 is going to be a bad year for bingos as well…

This book is so lovely. Heartbreaking, heartmending. Baba Yaga, as channeled through Taisia Kitaiskaia, is fierce, uncompromising, but ever compassionate. This was gifted to me, and the first book to my husband, but I‘m stealing the other book and diving right into it!

I loved the Ask Baba Yaga advice column when it ran on a now-defunct website. This collection includes questions from the current moment as well as more general life advice from the mysterious figure who lives in a chicken-legged house in the woods. Very impressed by the performer of the audio, as the original used various font styles to portray voice. Thanks to Libro.fm for the ALC!
