Opheliac

By Emma Sloan

Book Overview

When a local teen drowns and comes back as more river than girl, it dawns on residents that there is something very wrong in Steubenville. Emma Sloan's debut chapbook, Opheliac, intertwines modern mythology and one of literature's most enduring figures, Shakespeare's Ophelia- using both as a vessel to explore betrayal and grief. It is a collection that wields evocative language, intertwining narratives, and the framing of the gothic American South to instill a thoughtful melancholy that lasts long after the last page has been turned.
