“This book is a spell.  In Fairy of Disenchantment Sun Hesper Jansen weaves her pen like a needle through essays, poetry and prose poems, to stitch together the open wounds of invisible illness, tristesse and being human.”

—Amy Torok, co-author of Missing Witches and New Moon Magic

From Fairy of Disenchantment “I curb that side of my nature that wants to embellish. Storytelling has made trouble for me all through my life. I’ve avoided it for at least a decade. Until now. There’s a creeping Lovecraftian novel unfolding in my brain: the unfathomable nightmare future state of Multiple Sclerosis. The therapist, if she’s any good, should know that I’m playing her like I play everyone. Like I use mirrors. All my answers end with questions that shift the focus to the asker.” (Disenchantment: A Prelude)

“You never forget the first time
you see the inside
of your own head.

Nor your passion for the first
radiologist who paints you
beautifully
in the language of science.” (Gradient Weighted Echoes)
