Finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Poetry
Jenny Molberg's third collection of poetry, The Court of No Record, serves as both evidence and testimony against a legal system that often fails victims of physical trauma and domestic abuse. Drawing inspiration from true crime investigations and artifacts, including Frances Glessner Lee's crime scene dioramas and the tragic aftermaths of two serial killers who preyed upon women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Molberg probes a cultural obsession with violence that performs active erasure of victims' lives. By engaging with historical texts through a personal lens, she sheds light on survivors who do not find justice and looks toward a future of positive systemic reformation.Languages:EnglishPublisher:LSU PressISBN-13:9780807179024ISBN-10:807179027UPC:9780807179024Book Category:Poetry, Social ScienceBook Subcategory:American, Women Authors, Gender StudiesSize:9.00 x 6.00 x 0.23 inchesWeight:0.33Product ID:SCSB0ZGAXR
