New Poem by Elizabeth Hazen “Panic Attack” Lands in Failbetter
A new poem by Maryland standout Elizabeth Hazen has been published in the 62nd volume of Failbetter literary journal. The poem, titled "Panic Attack," is dark and violent featuring images of fire, anxiety, and this evocative extended metaphor which crawls under the author's skin,
"a banshee
with curled fingernails; a gorgon, green
and merciless; a girl with a loaded gun
trapped inside a woman with her tongue
cut out."
Elizabeth Hazen's latest collection of poems, Girls Like Us, was released in March 2020 just before the onset of the pandemic in the United States. Read more of Hazen's poetry here or pick up a copy of Girls Like Us from the Alan Squire Publishing bookstore.
