Description

Unique poems that bring history to life by weaving narratives of the Salem Witch Trials with stories of contemporary women.

Set against the historical backdrop of the Salem Witch Trials, Her Kind is a book about women: women viewed as witches, women making their own choices, women fighting for freedom, women who are innocent, and women who are used or disregarded by their cultures. The lyrical poems in this collection skillfully braid together narratives of the female victims of the Salem Witch Trials with the experiences of contemporary women viewed as witches for their personal histories, their political circumstances, or for speaking out and making their own choices. A blend of lyrical and narrative poems, Her Kind celebrates women refusing the victim role and reclaiming their magic.

Reviews

"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'
