A verse novella of coercive control, survival, and recognition - read in a single sitting.
When Michael loses his job, irritation hardens into control, then violence. Ruth moves quietly through the days that follow, until a coworker names what she's been living with.What follows is a decision Ruth can't undo.
Told in sharp, compressed lines that build relentless pressure...delivers the pace of a thriller...Every page tightens. Every moment narrows.
Written in unflinching verse, The Empty Couple uses silence and line break as much as language - what's left unsaid carries as much weight as what's spoken. A slim, exacting collection that rewards rereading as much as a single sitting.Selected Reader Response
