the witch doesn't drown in this one.

new poetry coming in 2026.

hello magical person,

don’t tell anyone, but i have a new poetry collection coming out in 2026 (you’re the first to know, of course!!!), & my publisher recently sent me a cover sample for it.

& well . . . just look at this holographic beauty. <3

in this one, the witch doesn’t burn or die or drown. in this one, she rages.

in the witch doesn’t drown in this one, celebrated poetess amanda lovelace revisits the titular voice behind her 2018 bestselling collection the witch doesn’t burn in this one. with candor, honesty, & well-earned wisdom, lovelace expounds on the roller coaster of feelings brought on by simply trying to exist as a woman in the sociopolitical climate of 2025’s america. through poetry that encompasses a myriad of fem-centric themes, including queer love, trans rights, patriarchal oppression, & intersectional feminism, she demands that women of all backgrounds & lived experiences be seen, heard, defended, & loved.

the witch doesn’t drown in this one is a deeply felt & hard-won reminder that though some stories that start with bitch-fire end with tear stains, women are powerful, resilient beings who have always contained the strength to rise again, especially when we swim back to the surface together.

be ready to swim.
out march 3rd, 2026.

laced with love,
amanda
