The Craft is a book-length poem composed of short, two-line stanzas, further divided into six subtitled parts and an epilogue. The poem uses the film of the same name as material to explore themes of femininity, feminism, female friendships, fear, trauma, bullying, spell-casting, doubling, and power. It is both a shameless, nostalgic love-letter to a cultural touchstone and a meditative exploration of the “teen-witch” mentality. The poet/Sarah wonders do you like/my head?
