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 stories 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.
