Belladonna Magic is an invitation and an offering. Step out of your nest and out of your cave. Come to the gully. Stand in that halo of light beneath the 300-year-old sycamore and close your eyes. Can you feel the sun warm your eyelids? Good. Then you've found the perfect spot. Let us recite the words together. All the spells and stories we need today are in this book. They even have photographs to go with them.

"Christine Stoddard's work in poetry, photography, and collage is an oblique form of self-portraiture. Tenderly and tentatively, she explores the social expectations of women's visibility and vulnerability, and her own negotiation of them."
--Brian Droitcour, Art in America
"Belladonna Magic is an anthem to every girl, both young and blossomed. It is a call to action to rebel against the incarnate shame in all of us. It stars all of the elements of the natural world that play freely with the spiritual. The poetry truly leaves you feeling capable and magical of so much more than you have ever been allowed to dream."
--Gretchen Gales, executive editor, Quail Bell Magazine
"Art worth a thousand words and poems loaded with a kaleidoscope of images sit side by side in Christine's Stoddard's Belladonna Magic. A showcase of her skills across several media, Christine weaves together a personal mythology out of nature, religion, and femininity. Through these pages is a journey; a celebration of personal passion, survival, and creativity awaits.
--Benjamin Nardolilli, author, Common Symptoms of an Enduring Chill Explained
Christine Stoddard's Belladonna Magic weaves the vulnerability and strength of feminine prowess with nature's cycles of destruction, loss, and rebirth. In her poems, Stoddard plants a garden where she grows deep roots of sisterhood, sensuality, and solitude to bloom into the the free, unveiled woman."
-- Deniz Ataman, managing editor, Perfumer & Flavorist
"Christine Stoddard's book is visceral and unpretentious, and the play between her poetry and artwork is a raw, honest, and uncensored look at women's bodies and women's intangible states of being."
--Jessica Reidy, independent writer with bylines in Bitch, Bust, and The Huffington Post
