Pigeon House is pulled from the stories women tell each other in hushed tones over a tea-kettle, a firepit, at the nail salon, while stirring a steamy cauldron, or kicking mud into an open grave. It's cottagecore meets bog witch, Ophelia floating down the river in the John Everett Millais painting, Anne of Green Gables if she lived in modern times and only ever loved bad men, Stevie Nicks if her album Bella Donna was a haunting. Pigeon House is for the Practical Magic cult-witches who spent the late 90's sectioning themselves off between the Jillians and the Sallys only to wake one day as the aunts. It's for the manic-pixie-dream girlies, the Harley Quinn used-to-be's, the ex-girlfriends of Heathcliff and Team Jess and Jimmy Angelo. You'll come for the magic, stay for that youthful gnawing hunger, and leave with the ghosts of your lovers past.

On the heels of her memoir, FEVER, Niziolek's debut poetry collection, atrophy, continues pulling even further at the same threads: desire, grief, trauma, love, and illness. However, the primary beast that stalks these pages is the body in isolation, the body in decay, the body as animalistic and wounded and deadly in its pursuit of living. atrophy has all the promise of a young poet and all the grit of a grown woman who has repeatedly clawed her way through the dirt.
