Retribution Forthcoming - Poems

Containing poems about diverse topics, this book, at its core, is an account of sexual assault and its aftermath. Using irony, humor, and associative logic, the speaker engages in a critique of capitalism and the ways women's bodies are monitored, exploited, and expected to conform under that system.
