Description: "These poems take a closer look at violence against women, both physical and psychological. Follow the intersection of fear, identity, and the malleability of the speaker's own experiences of violence enacted on her by men, particularly a past partner. Imagistic and evocative, the poems ask how are we conditioned into living with violence, and how do we move forward? Investigates how we perpetuate and internalize fear as a "normal" byproduct of identifying as a woman in today's society"--
