Drawing inspiration from true crime investigations and artifacts, including Frances Glessner Lee's crime scene dioramas and the tragic aftermaths of two serial killers who preyed upon women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Molberg probes a cultural obsession with violence that performs active erasure of victims' lives. By engaging with historical texts through a personal lens, she sheds light on survivors who do not find justice and looks toward a future of positive systemic reformation.","brand":"Jenny Molberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43793304354858,"sku":"9780807179024","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/court-of-no-record-poems-4403348.jpg?v=1762151254"},{"product_id":"refusal-poems","title":"Refusal: Poems","description":"In\u003ci\u003e Refusal\u003c\/i\u003e, her searing new collection of poetry, Jenny Molberg draws on elements of the uncanny--invented hospitals, the Demogorgon of Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons, an Ophelia character who refuses suicide--to investigate trauma, addiction, and forces of oppression. Exposing the effects of widespread toxic misogyny, this confrontational volume examines societal, cultural, and personal gaslighting in situations of domestic abuse. As Molberg writes in \"Loving Ophelia Is,\" \"love and hate simultaneously is the trick of abuse \/ and the trick of abuse is a vexation of the mind.\" A sequence of epistolary poems looks to friendship as a safe haven from violent romantic relationships, while another series on a mother's struggle with addiction captures the complicated nature of a parent-child relationship affected by alcoholism. \u003ci\u003eRefusal\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to break silences and to interrogate a cultural misogyny that weighs heavily on a woman's position in the world.","brand":"Jenny Molberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43793304485930,"sku":"9780807170748","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/refusal-poems-3803135.jpg?v=1762151254"}],"url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/collections\/jenny-molberg.oembed","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
