Poems in this collection both stand alone and work collectively to create an open-ended dramatic sequence. Addressing the topical issues of domestic violence, gender relations, sexuality, animal liberation and criminality within the ranks of law enforcement, Hull traces the complexity of the conflicts between innocence and corruption. In this fiercely autobiographical work, Hull dramatises herself as victim, scribe and player in a seductive cycle of nihilism. Raw, gutsy and moving, this is a portrayal of the human cost of violence and power abuse.
