Her Kind by Cindy Veach (English) Paperback Book

Description: Her Kind by Cindy Veach 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.

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, Youve got to read these poems!, but such is the case with Cindy Veachs 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 womens 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 arent 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 Veachs 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 countrys 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. Veachs writing is transformative. How lucky we are to witness this book as it shape shifts, becomes bells, fingers, spires, becomes omen." -- January Gill ONeil, author of Rewilding"What does it mean for a woman to be considered a witch? How does the patriarchal image of problematic women as witches endure across history, and into the present day? And how can reclaiming this image become for a contemporary woman a source of resistance and empowerment, without erasing the marks of suffering and loss? These are the concerns of Cindy Veachs powerful new collection Her Kind... While the subject matter is gripping, one of the books greatest strengths is Veachs mastery of craft and form. One aspect of this is certainly her graceful integration of seventeenth-century discourse into modern verse, allowing it to sing in its strangeness. Beyond that, the poems shift shape throughout, flexing their own verbal magic." * Ocean State Review * Review Quote "Rarely do I read a book all in one sitting then want to run out into the world yelling, Youve got to read these poems! , but such is the case with Cindy Veachs newest collection, Her Kind .
