Description
Conquest explores women's quest for self-discovery and desire in three distinct sections. Beginning with 19th-century England, the collection travels through the USA and ultimately finds solace in a walled garden in Paris.
The poems in Conquest address themes of body conquest, domestic violence, miscarriage, and lost love, yet also discover consolation in rediscovering one's own desires and independence. The book is notable for its original use of form and its visualisation of women reclaiming their pleasures and loves.
