Description
Matches by Catherine Gander is a powerful exploration of the violence done to women who are seen solely through the eyes of others. With poetic language, Gander articulates the devastating losses of power and selfhood that women suffer in silence.
The poems in this collection give voice to the unspeakable remittance of selfhood that women experience, revealing a hidden world of domestic violence. Through deftly woven images and brilliant sequences, Gander invites us to inhabit the darkest and loneliest of places with her.
With each astonishing phrase, there is strength and wisdom to be found - phrases that blaze like comets, illuminating the darkness and demanding to have their stories told.
