Vertigo & Ghost: Poems

Viac o knihe

Exploring themes of sexuality and power, the collection opens with a poignant poem about teenage awakening before delving into a fierce critique of Zeus as a symbol of male violence and entitlement. Through powerful and unflinching poetry, Fiona Benson confronts both personal and historical aggressions, dismantling the myth of Zeus and exposing the ongoing violence against women in today's society. The work serves as a haunting reflection on vulnerability, anger, and the pervasive nature of misogyny.
