Do you believe in ghosts?
Of course. I have seen longing grow legs and follow me.

Very grateful to Meredith Martin for including my essay on Aurora Leigh in the “Women’s Poetry, Women’s Vision, Women’s Power” cluster in the Winter 2019 issue of Victorian Studies and powerfully connecting it to Dr. Blasey Ford’s testimony, which haunted so many of us at NAVSA (& elsewhere) last fall. The cluster and the issue are packed with great stuff, including essays on Julia Margaret Cameron’s poetry and photography, “Christina Rossetti’s Botanical Women,” and essays & responses by Talia Schaffer, Tricia Lootens, and Lech Harris, among others!
