In Salem by Catherine Corman (Eden Press / Ugly Duckling Presse, paperback)

Publication Date: October 31, 2019

Publisher Marketing:  IN SALEM is a collection of collage poems and original photographs by Catherine Corman, inspired by the Salem Witch Trials. She has assembled fragments of text from the trial testimony of accused witches to form haunting, desperate pleas of innocence; fantastical, urgent, false confessions; and blunt laments of resignation from blameless women condemned to death. Accompanying the text are twenty-one photographs retracing their lives across the farms, homes, ponds and cemeteries where they endured their ill-fated lives, pastoral and commonplace until overtaken by hysteria.
