What are you working on?

I’m currently eighty or so poems into a sequence called “bone requires bone”.  I wanted to find a way to address the world of abuse and abusers.  I have had my own experiences with violent men, and it felt like a long meditation on the subject might be cathartic for me and maybe for others that have had similar experiences.
