Ready to peel back the skin and really get to the brains of a zombie poem? Yah know cause Zombies are like onions (I think that's how that one goes). Emmy and Allie take on Burlee Vang's "To Live in The Zombie Apocalypse" by exploring Zombie tropes in the media and how the poem works on multiple levels to adapt the reader for the situation. Through thoughtful word choice, poetic technique, and addressing the duality of human nature, we really dig into the guts of what makes a Zombie literature and media piece and how it affects readers. Yah hungry?
