Mare Heron Hake, Poetry Editor is a published poet, essayist, book reviewer, and photographer. She earned her MFA from the Northwest Institute of Literary Arts, where she worked with David Wagoner, Carolyne Wright, Derek Sheffield, and Ana Maria Spagna, among others. Mare was the poetry editor at Soundings Review and is a founder of The Red House Writers group. She has been known to spend many lost hours writing to friends or reading gothic horror while the family dog, asleep and snoring, uses her foot as a pillow. Her poetry books are Survival Eye (2021) and Passages (2022).
Yours Creature is composed of epistolary poems in the voice of Mary Shelley. Often written as missives to her famous literary mother, Wollstonecraft, the poems address months, years, and her own monstrous creation as they contend with exile, transience, and desire. These poems ask us to imagine the physical elements of Shelley's existence in language that is both luminous and visceral. This is not a book that simply recreates a past, but one that transcends time as it threads together the loss and violence that history has asked women to suppress. The poems recognize the unspoken pairing of scarcity and creation; they explore how the monstrous is born out of rejection. Yours, Creature responds to a literary and historical narrative, but the poems exist as lyric, singing of the pleasure of creation and its transformative power.
