More DescriptionSecond tours through hell produce less terror and more scathing perspective. This book is proof that disclosed mental illness is not anything like treated mental illness and that when nothing changes, nothing changes, but the dates and times.

There is not the gut ripping sadness of Elissa: Queen of Carthage this is an angrier, wittier book; a different face for loss but a book about loss nonetheless. I am proud of these poems, of this work. I hope you will find in them the Moxie and lemon it took to write them; a strong drink with a bit of a kick.
