Unbecoming: True Crime Poetry: an exploration in form of the case against Polly Bodine - the Witch of Staten Island.
Creighton uses various poetic forms to examine the true crime case of the deaths of Emeline and Ann Eliza Houseman on Christmas Day, 1843, Staten Island, and the accusations against their close and trusted family member, Polly Bodine.
An engrossing case that asked questions around gender, lifestyle choices and the media's influence, the themes of which are still as relevant as they were back then.
Creighton, a poet, crime writer and true crime aficionado, brings together her interests in one stunning piece of work.
