"new mythologies reads like an ancient text encoded with secret wisdom, tacit magics, and the body's truths. Cunningham reminds me that the shape shifter shifts shapes at her/their own pace in this series of poems that astonishingly generate their own occasion. Through syntactical infidelity, Cunningham cracks the briny shell of language in order to bring forth a vibrational being, a roux ga roux moving neither inward nor outward but allward. Accept the invocation; melt into the murmuration." - Candice Wuehle, author of MONARCH (Soft Skull Press) and Death Industrial Complex (Action Books).
