Scream Queen

Drawing on the depiction of women in gothic tales and horror films, Letcher’s poems often startle us and put us off balance, but they do so in a way that brings us to a new view of things. Emily Borgmann says: “I’ve been waiting for an exit sign to send away mu ghosts. You’ve waited, too. Here it is. This book will bring you back to where you can hear yourself scream, that comfort. Steve Langan writes: “Kiara Letcher guides us through the many haunted houses of Scream Queen—to the other side, where we are relieved, changed, even reassembled.”
