Truths and Consequences

Truths and Consequences, the first book-length collection from Poet Lisa E Baldwin, explores the lived experiences of a common American woman, as a girl in rural Oregon, as a teenaged victim and abused young wife, as a single mother, and ultimately as a strong survivor. In poems that are both tender and brutal, funny and tragic, as well as stylistically diverse, Baldwin is an unflinching truth-teller, adding her clear, authentic voice to the canon of feminist literature.
