I Become a Delight to My Enemies by Sara Peters

2.0

Part of my lack of enjoyment was my lack of understanding. I found it so hard to parse out meaning from these fragments. It left me wanting more substance, more information. It felt like just snippets of pretentious but biting poetry about sexual abuse and womanhood. For me, this is another failed experiment in experimental fiction because these themes of structural, systemic violence against women are too important to have their meaning and intention lost in convulted verse. We need to shed light on these issues, not cover it up with more cloaked meaning and implications.

Trigger warnings for rape, sexual abuse, incest.
