New poetry from Stevie Edwards, author of Sadness WorkshopQuiet Armor, the third full-length collection from poet Stevie Edwards, examines how capitalism and patriarchy impact romantic relationships and, more broadly, intimacy. Edwards considers the ways in which confessional performances of vulnerability can be coercive, whether popular culture encourages men to seek validation through sexual excess and aggression, and how we encourage women to be complicit in figurative and literal violence against other women.\nDrawing on historical and mythological figures\u2014including Medusa, Persephone, Shakespeare\u2019s Lavinia, Saint Agatha, and Saint Christina\u2014Edwards builds a fierce investigation into how rape culture has shaped the literary canon, academia, and the world at large.
