  Bad Weather Mammals - Poems

  “The sick should be good. / It is a kind of undoing,” Ashley-Elizabeth Best writes in her second collection. Bad Weather Mammals navigates the devastations and joys of living in a disabled and traumatized body. By taking a backward glance, she traces how growing up under the maladaptive bureaucracy of social services with a single disabled mother and five younger siblings led her to a precarious future in which she is also disabled and living on social assistance. In poems that explore a variety of formal constraints, such as the suite “ODSP 1, 2, & 3,” which infuses government forms with lyric poetry, she suggests all the ways the medical and bureaucratic systems can dehumanize and traumatize our most vulnerable citizens. By digging deep into her own experiences, Best has archived the ways we fail each other in our most desperate times — while at the same time outlining how we can show up to revel in disabled joy and community. Bad Weather Mammals disassembles dominant narratives about how disabled individuals should be and reconceptualizes the embodied experiences that recenter us in our own narrative.

  Proserpine

  Mary Shelley

  Proserpine by Mary Shelley is a lyrical mythological drama that reimagines the ancient story of Persephone with emotional depth, poetic beauty, and Romantic sensitivity. Written in the early 19th century, the work reflects Shelley's interest in classical mythology, nature, and the emotional experiences of women within symbolic and allegorical frameworks.
  
  The narrative centers on Proserpine, a young and innocent figure whose life is shaped by the contrast between light and darkness, innocence and transformation. Set within a mythic landscape, her story unfolds as she is drawn away from a world of flowers, sunlight, and freedom into a mysterious realm ruled by an opposing power. This transition marks a profound shift in her identity and emotional experience.
  
  Alongside Proserpine is Ceres, a maternal and protective figure whose deep love and sorrow reflect the pain of separation and loss. Their bond forms the emotional heart of the drama, highlighting themes of maternal devotion, longing, and the cycles of nature. The relationship between mother and daughter becomes a symbolic representation of seasonal change and the enduring connection between life, death, and renewal.
  
  Mary Shelley uses poetic dialogue and symbolic imagery to explore themes such as transformation, captivity, emotional awakening, and the duality of existence. The natural world plays a central role in the narrative, reflecting the emotional states of the characters and reinforcing the connection between human experience and the rhythms of nature.
  
  Rather than focusing on external action, the drama emphasizes atmosphere, emotion, and symbolic meaning. Shelley's language is elegant and expressive, capturing both the beauty and melancholy inherent in the myth. The work reflects the Romantic fascination with nature, myth, and the inner life of the individual.
  
  Proserpine also engages with broader themes of female experience, separation, and the tension between freedom and constraint. It presents its central figure not only as a mythological character but also as a symbol of emotional and psychological transformation.
  
  Ideal for readers of classic literature, mythology, and Romantic drama, Proserpine remains a delicate and powerful exploration of change, memory, and the emotional cycles that shape human existence.
