Review Quotes:
"Megan Falley writes with uncommon bravery. Playful, sensual, raucous--and unrelenting as an assault rifle. Unafraid to confront the most sinister, to flirt and shimmy, to argue, riot, and disembowel, these poems lure you coyly into the melee with language so rich and surprising, you can't help but test them in your own mouth. They traverse real-world struggles and triumphs. After the Witch Hunt is more than a song of survival, it is a battle cry. A stunning debut."
