Description

Dorothy Molloy allows survivors of sexual, physical and social violence to tell their stories as if life's horrors were little more than a passing distraction. The result is a series of finely-wrought poems of black comedy, in which the sinister and hilarious wrestle for supremacy. The settings reflect Molloy's world - Spain, France, her native Ireland - but these themes are universal: suffering, deceit, loss and the struggle for expression.
