CASSY WELBURN’S collection of poetry, Changelings, is a look at the small but powerful acts of our lives that have the power to transform us and the magic of story to illuminate them. The voice of the wyrd speaks through the natural world at moments of crisis in these scenes from the lives of children, men and women on the verge of becoming something else.

“Cassy Welburn writes with insight and revelation, as she examines the nuances of personal story, transformation and healing. Her poetic narratives integrate strong images with lamenting vignettes. Welburn presents her reader with rich portraits of people and landscape, through a tight lens and then again through the optic of a hermetic breath.” – Sheri-D Wilson
