Scene of the Crime: Poems / by Jane Ransom.

This is where the poetry of the Poetry Slam meets the poetry of the page, where matricide and mother tongue engage in diabolic discourse, where feminist theory and Ransom’s outlaw sexuality fight to the finish through an almost criminal wordplay. Delighting in the multiplicity of self, language, and desire, Ransom fires puns dead-aimed to riddle reductive interpretations. Her poetry demands to he read aloud; her performances in support of the book will knock you dead.
