Tiffany Kraft

Jack Tiffany Kraft 1. Ausgabe

The poems in this chapbook draw on the author's experience with life, love, abuse, and literature. The decision to privatize or publish intimate material was clarified beyond doubt one mid-December evening after she was nearly run down by a car, chased up a concrete stairwell, and narrowly escaped her abuser thanks to a neighbor's timely intervention. Though she was able to call 911 and obtain a restraining order within 24 hours after the incident, not all victims survive to tell, and some even choose to stay silent out of fear, shame, and/or denial. The only way to Stop DV Now is to speak up and out against it.
