Author: Maggie Queeney Publisher: Tupelo Press (2021) These fourteen-line poems give voice to the individual and collective experiences of women. They are windows into a stark othe rworld, one filled with the raw materials of experience: sex, birth, cloth, pain. Spare and strange beauty marks the lives and worlds of these women, defined by their struggle for survival in the physical and psychological captivity of the domestic realm.
