Study Hall Member C.M. Crockford Reviewed Eugenia Leigh’s “Bianca”

by | May 22, 2024

For The Massachusetts Review, C.M. Crockford, a Study Hall member, reviewed Bianca, Eugenia Leigh’s collection of poems. In his review, Crockford discusses how “Bianca portrays the lingering, long-term effects of abuse and mental illness with beauty, terror, and comprehension.” Through his analysis, Crockford explores the ways in which Leigh’s poems ask how “anyone can move past traumatic childhood abuse and violence, especially in an uncertain, apocalyptic time.” 

Crockford has written for Paste Magazine, Cleveland Review of Books, and Broad Street Review. He is the author of Birdsongs: Poems 2020-2023, which is out now with Alien Buddha Press.
