Publisher Synopsis
"Her Kind, with its nod to Sexton's dark fairy tale of sisterhood, is an essential book of our age, as women are once again endangered and marginalized, as we must equate silence with 'trouble, / a brewing.' These powerful portraits and tragic stories remind us-not only do people take selfies where women were murdered and convert dungeons into tourist traps-but 'Some things are not // meant to be forgotten,' and every woman, in order to survive, must conjure her strongest self. This is a stunning collection of poems." -- Jennifer Militello, author of 'The Pact' "Rarely do I read a book all in one sitting then want to run out into the world yelling, You've got to read these poems!, but such is the case with Cindy Veach's newest collection, Her Kind. Grounded with poems about the Salem Witch Trials, Veach moves from historical to personal to political without missing a beat. A chronicle of women's histories-our losses, what was stolen, and ultimately, our strength in what we take back. Her Kind is a stunning collection of lyrical, powerful, and poignant poems, where we aren't at the top of a hill looking down at what happened, we are immersed in the stories and-We climb with her. We climb with her. Her Kind is a book that reminds every woman to never let anyone take her magic-an absolute must-read and an essential collection for every bookshelf." -- Kelli Russell Agodon, author of 'Dialogues with Rising Tides' "Her Kind, Cindy Veach's powerful second collection, emphasizes why poetry is essential. Her impeccable ear, her reclaiming of the witch myths from the Salem Witch Trials, the end of her long marriage intertwined with this country's fraught political landscape make us more aware of the world around us. She reconciles history while living it by using voices from the past to infuse the present. These gritty, lyrical poems continually enrich and surprise. Veach's writing is transformative. How lucky we are to witness this book as it 'shape shifts, becomes bells, fingers, spires, becomes omen.'" -- January Gill O'Neil, author of 'Rewilding' Read more...
