While these poems burn with a Plathian fire, they also address and invite in a reader who is, as in \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e, a confidant. Steeped in a world of husbands and fathers, patriarchal nations and power structures, \u003ci\u003eReader, I\u003c\/i\u003e traverses bowling alleys and hospital rooms, ancient Troy and public swimming pools, to envision domestic life as a metaphor for civic life, and vice versa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorey Van Landingham\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eAntidote and Love Letter to Who Owns the Heavens\u003c\/i\u003e.
