The historical body of evidence that remains from the Salem witch trials of 1692 touched the hands, mind, and imagination of poet Nicole Cooley, compelling her to seek entry to an inaccessible past of lies. \u003ci\u003eThe Afflicted Girls\u003c\/i\u003e, so named after the young women who claimed to be victims of witchcraft, spans the centuries to give voice to those both audible and silent on history's pages--accusers and accused of several kinds: wife and husband, servant and master, congregant and minister, and, not least, bewitched and witch. Piercing, enchanting, Cooley's poems form a remarkable narrative, one that displays the enormous cultural power the Salem witch trials retain in twenty-first-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA native of New Orleans, NICOLE COOLEY is the author of \u003ci\u003eResurrection, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich won the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, and the novel \u003ci\u003eJudy Garland, Ginger Love. \u003c\/i\u003eHer other honors include Georgia Poet of the Year in 1997, the Balch Prize for Poetry from the \u003ci\u003eVirginia Quarterly Review, \u003c\/i\u003eand the \"Discovery\"\/\u003ci\u003eThe Nation \u003c\/i\u003ePoetry Award.
