The Rape Poems

Poetry. Frances Driscoll's RAPE POEMS sink into the horror and beauty of memory without attention to pretense. The poems refuse to relent from the poet's sense of unshakable reality and do not belabor themselves with the trivialities of a misunderstanding world. Described as a "compelling...rare" collection, THE RAPE POEMS is personal reportage in common language with alarmingly precise composition and artistry. "Harrowing and obsessively skeptical, tender and private and hugely humane, these unsettling poems arrive like dispatches from the very source of our wounds" —Ralph Angel.
