One of my favorite places online is the home page for Russian poet Taisia Kitaiskaia who undertook a few years ago to create an advice column for the great Baba Yaga -- the questions are all real, submitted by people looking for real answers to their anxieties and troubles. And boy, does Baba Yaga come through with answers, delivered in dark, ideosyncratic poetry that is always on point. And now those many entries have been collected into a single volume, Ask Baba Yaga: Otherworldly Advice for Worldly Troubles, and is available for pre-order (released September 2017).
