| Summary: | The Haunting is a book of feminist-horror visitations, incantations and possession embodied in unruly forms that subvert genre and generic definitions of poetry and prose. This full collection- expanding and completing the chapbook Revenge Bodies, originally selected as winner of the Snowbound Chapbook Award, is concerned with how the living and the dead coexist, how to survive trauma and persistence. Drawing from a variety of texts including Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, 20th-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. |
