About this listen
The haunted house is the metaphor that keeps giving. Poems are sort of haunted houses (haunted by its influences) as is the USA itself (haunted by the ghosts of the indigenous and enslaved peoples who suffered at the hands of early European settlers). The two metaphors meet in Tobe Hooper's 1982 horror film Poltergeist. We get spooked by poems by Mary Oliver, Samuel Menashe and T.S. Eliot, while our host Adam O. Davis discusses his collection Index of Haunted Houses and the economic roots of haunted houses. Guest star: Joy Priest, author of Horsepower, on Mississippi Damned.
