Description

During these difficult days, Ask Baba Yaga ~ Poetic Remedies for Troubled Times provides literary self-help. This book is for readers who appreciate Baba Yaga’s strange, surprising style and striking honesty.

In Taisia Kitaiskaia’s follow-up to Ask Baba Yaga ~ Otherworldly Advice for Everyday Troubles, she once again embodies the legendary witch of Slavic folklore. Baba Yaga provides life advice to the questioning and the hurting. Answering real questions from readers, Baba Yaga provides responses in the form of short poems. Lyrical, surreal, sometimes funny, and always honest.

In age-old Slavic fairy tales, the witch Baba Yaga is sought out by those with a burning need for guidance. In contemporary life, Baba Yaga—a dangerous, slippery oracle—answered earnest questions on The Hairpin for years. These pages collect her most poignant, surreal, and humorous exchanges along with all-new questions and answers for those seeking her mystical advice.
