Chasing Old Haunts is one part Midwest exorcism, one part millennial castle—all parts haunting. This collection is a diagram of the very things that make us up–cornstalks, loons, shedded eggs, and fidget spinners–dead or alive, inanimate and infinite. Knoles’ poems are foggy fever dreams we can’t stop chasing.

Wazaloo is a Milwaukee-based self-taught illustrator. Her work attempts to translate powerful, intangible feelings & abstract thoughts into a simplified visual language. Personally therapeutic, she hopes the symbolic imagery she produces helps others to understand themselves & their emotions more.
