‘The Maiden in the Tower’ is the latest poetry collection from Kate Gough, in which the lonely gothic dread entwines the bodies of those living with chronic illness. From the isolating tower, the maiden sings poems of life and death, as she beckons those who often take their health for granted, to look inward, and to listen to those who have lost their health.
