Exit Wounds

Exit Wounds explores the genesis and aftermath of a destructive affair perpetrated by a predatory male university professor. The collection begins with poems providing the context of the woman's vulnerability, and continues with the initial seduction at an academic conference. With deep psychological insight into motivation and power relationships, subsequent developments complete a compelling narrative of a tragedy worthy of Puccini. Exit Wounds tells the story of a relationship, apparently perfect, which crashes, leaving enormous distress in its wake.
