BURN THE WITCH by Aïcha Martine Thiam
Aïcha Martine Thiam’s Burn the Witch is a book-length magic show with a host who knows her tricks. The speaker of these poems is both witch and magician, wielding language like a deck of cards and convincing us over and over again that what we think is the truth is something else entirely. This entire collection is an incantation, and we are put under this speaker’s spell from the very beginning. What follows is Thiam showing off her ability to warp time and space, the ease with which she revises the experience of the Black woman right before our eyes. Thiam writes, “Saying goes, when you let people wound you, you are actually in control of the bruise…another trick of light,” and the speaker of these poems relies on the magical and superstitious to regain control of traumatic histories. And even in her vulnerable moments, even when the pain becomes too much, Thiam’s speaker casts another spell, says “I am a woman who can hold it together hold it together / hold it together” until the reader is mouthing along, until we say it enough to believe it.

Aïcha Martine Thiam’s Burn the Witch is an incantation, a furtive glance, a maximalist reframing of a speaker that defies limitations. Like all strong witches, Thiam understands the difficult world in a profound way — with a firm grasp on intuition’s tenets and a steady gaze towards the contours beyond human perception, national histories, and personal trauma. She’ll swallow cyclones, she’ll magic a little world that shuns. Watch yourself, reader. Do not undervalue what plants in these deep, solitary woods. In this brilliant book, Thiam constructs “a Universe unto herself” amid the constant threat of disappearance, of “conditional bullet talk,” of the violence of everyday life as a Black woman. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better start listening.

1. Julia - 1 star - I was really disappointed with "The Witch Lenyhh". The storyline was confusing and hard to follow, and the acting felt forced and unconvincing. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, and the dialogue just felt awkward. Overall, the film failed to deliver any scares or thrills, and I found myself bored and disengaged throughout. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good horror flick.
2. Michael - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "The Witch Lenyhh" based on the trailer, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and there were long periods of time where nothing seemed to be happening. The scares were predictable and cliché, and I didn't find myself invested in the characters or their fates. The ending left me feeling unsatisfied and confused. Overall, it was a letdown and I wouldn't watch it again.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I love horror movies, but "The Witch Lenyhh" just didn't deliver. The plot felt disjointed and convoluted, and the scares were few and far between. The movie relied heavily on jump scares, which got old very quickly. The acting was mediocre at best, and the characters lacked depth and development. I was hoping for a terrifying and atmospheric horror film, but this was more of a letdown than anything. I would recommend giving it a pass.
4. David - 1 star - "The Witch Lenyhh" was a complete waste of time. The story made no sense, and the characters were incredibly unlikable and one dimensional. The movie tried too hard to be scary with its excessive use of gore and violence, but it just came off as gratuitous and unnecessary. The special effects were poorly done and took me out of the movie. Overall, it was a mess and I regret watching it.
