In this episode of the Signature Books Podcast, Signature marketing specialist Beth Brumer Reeve and poet Dayna Patterson discuss Patterson's new book, O Lady, Speak Again. How does a poet practice their craft, and what is the creative process like? Patterson answers these questions and more.
Rena Priest, Washington State Poet Laureate from 2021–2023, calls this collection “a triumph" and "a soaring, seething, singing achievement of poetic excellence. ... Dayna Patterson gives us meticulously crafted poems without sacrificing a single breath of emotional dynamism."
These witchy, spell-soaked poems in Patterson’s second collection with Signature explore female characters from Shakespeare’s plays, with a feminist twist. The collection grapples with women’s roles in Shakespeare and in Mormon culture, both heavily influenced by patriarchal structures that often silence marginalized voices.
