KRISTINE ESSER SLENTZ's re-release of her experimental lyric, woman, depose, now re-envisioned and entitled EXHIBIT: an a̶m̶e̶n̶d̶e̶d̶ woman, depose, is a candid and intimate journey of a tumultuous legal battle centered on sexual harassment, gender bias, and sexual orientation discrimination and retaliation. After enduring a grueling two-year lawsuit, the case was unexpectedly dismissed due to technicalities and evidence as hearsay. This pivotal moment forced a confrontation of not only the legal system's intricacies but also prompted a profound personal introspection.
Through raw and honest storytelling via court document redaction, lyrical poetics, and cross-genre work, SLENTZ re- (and perhaps cross-) examines experiences with sex, sexuality, and the intricate dynamics of power and desire-and their impacts such as substance abuse and violence.
EXHIBIT is a new and vital interrogation of an unfiltered exploration of sexual abuse, trauma, and the pervasive nature of harassment-on a personal level and within the broader societal context.
SLENTZ's poignant hybrid and experimental text invites readers to navigate the complexities and nuances of sexuality, gender bias, and the multifaceted layers of discrimination. EXHIBIT: an amended woman, depose serves as a testament to resilience, empowerment, and the unyielding pursuit of recovery and understanding.
