Award-winning novelist Nancy Lee’s latest collection of poetry is a searing exploration of girlhood pre- and post- the #MeToo movement. These poems confront how socially ingrained violence and sexual power dynamics distort and dislocate girlhood, womanhood, and relationships. Startling and visceral, What Hurts Going Down deconstructs a lifetime of survival and scrutinizes the changing realities of being female.
From the author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe and one of the award-winning screenwriters behind Westworld comes Interior Chinatown.
