Santa Muerte, Santa Muerte…
Lauren Brazeal Garza’s best-selling collection of fictional interviews with ghosts and other paranormal entities. Within this chapbook, the devil seeks meaningful connections, a haunted house mourns its dismemberment, the moon gives her testimony, and lady death herself weighs in on what it means to be alive.Published by Tram Editions in 2023“Lauren Brazeal Garza’s Santa Muerte, Santa Muerte: I was Here, Release Me is a dark and fascinating exploration of the voices of the dead. These poems are imaginative and surprising in both form and content: Judy Garland is reincarnated as a mountain and the atomic bomb “Little Boy” speaks as a Musk Thistle plant in pieces that eerily command the white space on the page, while other spirits, like that of a decomposing carousel horse, speak in sonnets. This book is as delightful as it is haunting. I dare you to read it.”
