The Legend of the Kettle Daughter

Amy Alexander's story of the Kettle Daughter, beautifully created in a running series of artwork and poetry. Merging digital art with poetry, Amy took a single artwork and wrote a poem based upon it. From there, she alternated letting her own inspiration inspire her again and again until the story of the Kettle Daughter was rightly told.

"Alexander carefully mines her nearly mystical youth filled with spectres and sanctuaries, prayers and paths through frozen woods for just those intimate details that make her writing both swift and sparse and yet relatable and evocative of some universal coming of age we all experience surrounded by people and places demanding some kind of magic to fully understand. Kettle Daughter feels like a grand campfire tale, an emotional epic of the heart spoken in small whispers like embers dancing with a crackling flame." - Jeffrey Roedel
