Persephone in America
Alison Townsend
A collection of lyrical and narrative poems that chronicles the struggles of the figurative Persephone in three parts - the abduction, descent to the underworld, and return. It offers an exploration of such themes as girlhood and the vulnerability of the motherless; the demons of depression, addiction, and abuse; as well as passion, and aging.
