Cradleland of Parasites, by Sara Tantlinger

5.0

I love Sara Tantlinger's poetry. Cradleland of Parasites is startlingly honest as she weaves facts, truth, prose, and horrific imagery. She paints a beautifully morbid picture of life with disease starting with the black plague era and going all the way to current times (She even touches on Poe's Red Death!). I am thoroughly chilled and will be thinking about this collection for a long time to come.
