Abstract

The artist's statement contextualizes Hannah V Warren’s poetry. Often defined as monstrous and grotesque, Warren’s poetry takes cues from the literature and theory she studies critically. Thus, this statement also situates her poetry within Southern and German Gothic influences while noting comparisons between the two landscapes.
