Description

As if she discovered a small army of silenced women captive in her pen, Megan Falley releases them in the spilled ink that is her most brilliant collection of poems, After the Witch Hunt.

Demanding "if you really love a writer, bury her in all your awful and watch as she scrawls her way out," her book does exactly that. An incessant digging, a journey in building escape routes, armed with both humor and a brazen darkness, each poem in this book of bloodletting is another swing of the pick and axe in this young woman's labor, insistent upon light.

About the Author

Megan Falley is the queer-femme author of three full-length collections of poetry: Drive Here and Devastate Me (Write Bloody Publishing 2018), Redhead and the Slaughter King (2014), and After the Witch Hunt (2012). Her chapbook, Bad Girls, Honey [Poems About Lana Del Rey] was the winner of the 2015 Tired Hearts Chapbook Prize. She is a National Poetry Slam & Woman of the World Poetry Slam finalist. She is co-author of a non-fiction book with poet Andrea Gibson, How Poetry Can Change Your Heart.

Critical Reviews

"After the Witch Hunt had me crying aloud in my mother's kitchen while thanking [Falley] over and over for [her] fierce generous voice. Whatever holy siren you have in you, you will uncover it here. By the final page I'd divorced every whisper in my chest." Andrea Gibson

"The talent of this powerful fresh voice to make the past palpable and the present hopeful reminds us, as Audre Lorde was right to name it, that, indeed, "poetry is not a luxury."" Suzanne Kelly, Ph.D., co-editor of the 5th edition of Women: Images and Realities

"Megan Falley writes with uncommon bravery. Playful, sensual, raucous and unrelenting as an assault rifle...[The poems] traverse real-world struggle, and triumph. After the Witch Hunt is more than a song of survival, it is a battle cry." Jeanann Verlee, author of Racing Hummingbirds
