by Cate Peebles (Author)
A collection of poems concerned with how the living and the dead coexist, how to survive trauma, and the power of persistence.
The Haunting is a book of feminist-horror visitations, incantations, and possessions embodied in unruly forms that subvert genre and generic definitions of poetry and prose. This is a collection that is concerned with how the living and the dead coexist, how to survive trauma, and the power of persistence. Drawing from a variety of texts including Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, twentieth-century horror films, the Velvet Underground, and Ovid, The Haunting explores the anxieties of ancestral and artistic inheritance, rage, transformation, motherhood, maternal ambivalence, and the drive to create.Author Biography
