Bloodroot: Voices from a Salem Household is a pastoral gothic set against the smoldering backdrop of 1692 Salem. A narrative in verse, the collection carries readers through the contrapuntal voices of an afflicted girl and the woman accused of bewitching her, an enslaved servant living under the same roof. Through motifs of blood, cloth, fire, and bone, the poems explore silence and intimate textures of domestic work, spirituality and madness, girlhood and undoing, raising questions about what it means to be believed and what it means to be accused. #women #poetry #Salem #gothic #witches
