A former pleaser, newly enraged poet/professor Samantha Baxter burns her polite life to the ground.

By turns heart-wrenching, uncomfortable, and hilarious, Banshee explores the internal monologue and actions of a woman who, upon being diagnosed with cancer, tumbles head-first into a midlife crisis and decides to be unapologetic about it. Banshee is a critical addition to the feminist canon, giving the reader a dramatized glimpse into what happens when women step outside of society’s rules and expectations as wives, mothers, and working professionals—and instead choose to behave the way men do on a day-to-day basis.

Banshee is an excellent read for:

Feminist readers and book clubs

Fans of dark comedy and finding humor amidst grief

People who have received a life-threatening diagnosis

Fans of Rachel DeWoskin’s Big Girl Small and Michelle Tea’s mordant sense of humor

Furious middle-aged women

Poets and especially poetry professors
