📖 The Scoop
"Written in the wake of Christine Blasey Ford's testimony in the Supreme Court confirmation hearing and steeped in the memory of Anita Hill's testimony thirty years ago, What happened was: explores the cumulative effect of what women have been told is not that bad. The title series of What Happened Was: includes ten poems; each uses seven repetitions of "what happened was" to tell its story. The chapbook begins with the poet's mother, who was told by the law school dean that she could not attend classes while pregnant. Other poems elucidate the poet's own experiences of mismatched assumptions and sexual harassment in college and in the workplace, in the context of history and in the present moment. What Happened Was: speaks up and speaks back, 'still teeming with syllables left to spill.'"--Provided by publisher.
Genre: Poetry / General (fancy, right?)
