description: Bright promising Emma is entangled in a toxic romance with her former professor--and she's losing control. Cruel charming Tom is idolized by his students and peers confident he holds all the cards. In their small Oxford home he manipulates and undermines her every thought and act. Soon he will push her to the limit and she must decide: to remain quiet and submit or to take her revenge. Written in verse and charged with passion and anger The Poet is a portrait of a deeply dysfunctional relationship exploring coercive control class and privilege. It is also a page-turning tale of female solidarity and survival.
