Poetry. In reading these poems, we experience beauty--paradoxically--as well as come to understand the complexity of the crime, its aftermath, and the relief and joy of recovery -- Roseann Lloyd. This exceptional first book is the story of a life brought to a disasterous standstill, and the subsequent acts of common kindness that allow the author to recapture hope. Tough and articulate, ONE RED EYE defies the silence and guilt that so often surrounds the crime of rape.
