<p>The poems in Love &amp; the Loaded Gun are about characters from history, pop culture, mythology, and the literary canon who are exploding for one reason or another either because love is so impossible, because they are driven by rage to commit acts of revenge, or because they feel the burden of being a woman whose role it is to bear the world. They are also connected by apron strings, by bird feathers, by prayer, by love and its antidote, the loaded gun we point at our own weaknesses as well as our social preconceptions about feminism and womanhood. This collection, guised as myriad voices through time, serves as megaphone for the ages. Armed with love / &amp; a loaded gun, the poet takes aim with the weapon of her words, and shoots a hole straight through the ceiling of glass.</p>
