Moving, Artful,and very poetic

As a poet who has experienced her own traumas, I turned to this book to see how Driscoll would depict hers. I found the experience entirely moving. This poet's verse is captivating. Reading the poems, I felt like I was in a trance. Her words kept repeating in my head afterwords. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has experienced a trauma like rape, because Frances Driscoll has the words that are so difficult for some to find. I would recommend this book to any poet who deals with real subjects. This is a truly amazing work of art and power.

Enables you to express when words fail.

This book is amazing. It allowed me to put words tothe overwhelming feelings of pain and rage. This book is a useful tool in trying to understand our own feelings when they are mirrored back through wonderous poetry.

: Writing from her own horrifying experience of being raped repeatedly in her home by a stranger, Frances Driscoll creates an expression of pain and confusion and anger. In a series of poems, she asks questions which a person in such a situation would ask, and she recovers, slowly, with the help of friends and family.
