Death Roll by Trista Edwards
Imbolc Release Date 02.01
Death Roll is a swampy, surreal song that asks readers to listen with their whole bodies as these poems shimmer with sonic experimentation, wild invention, & deep emotional resonance that thrums just below the surface. This collection is guided by an unusual relic of grief: a doll crowned with the taxidermized head of a baby alligator. Through the voice of Gator Girl, the poems explore themes of motherhood, loss, desire, & the mythologies we build to survive them.
Death Roll is a Southern Gothic, fevered lyric where origin stories have teeth, memory refuses to be still, & the line between human & creature blurs until vanishing entirely. Slip into its waters. Follow its song.
One must understand
the original before
articulating it in another
language. Which is to say
all language is forever
nowhere, touching.
“Reliquary of Grief” Soy Wax Candle by Marvel + Moon
Comes in a 3oz black tin
Plunge into a meditation on grief, motherhood, & the wild heart of the South with this deeply complex fragrance. It captures the earth's core, still hot with memory, marrying animalistic darkness with serene naturalism.
The blend begins in a boggy glade—a serene, naturalistic wash of damp forest floor where spongy, green moss dots the limbs of ancient trees. This gentle, earthy dimension gives way to bewitching heart notes of labdanum, a musky, animalistic resin, intertwined with luxurious leather. The seductive warmth of sweet tobacco leaves & amber anchors the base. This candle illuminates the space where the funeral becomes an altar & the leathery loss of a loved one is transformed into a shimmering, terrifying jewel. Let the flame carry you to the black water where you can commune with forgetting.
Scent notes: Moss. Damp Forest Floor. Leather. Amber. Labdanum. Sweet Tobacco Leaves.
Adorned with a wax gator.
