now and then - fantasies of evil,
By
This review is from: A Witch's Dictionary (Perfect Paperback)
Sarah Kennedy has written a disturbing series of poems about witchcraft old world style and new. There are many historical incidents of witchcraft and witch-torture memorably "sung" by the poems that are crisply and musically written, creating a juxtaposition of sound and sense that have a long afterlife in one's mind (I almost said haunting). But the really resonating passages imply linkages between age-old practices and superstitions with America today and its siege-mentality. Witch-hunt and terrorist-hunt conflate, with G. W. Bush comparable in several startling ways to King James I of England. An engrossing read - I couldn't put it down.
