Persephone Unleashed

The story of Persephone is well known, but little is known about the woman herself. Her story is an allegory of a violent sexual awakening, and the cycle of reproduction. It's about the loss of innocence, and love conflated with abuse and subjugation. Through Persephone, these poems address rape, murder, repressed rage, men as monstrosities, and other explicit topics. Six short stories are included.
