Franklin's Antigone is ferocious, feeling, and unafraid of the consequences of speaking the truth to power about the political atrocities she has witnessed and personal traumas she has withstood. With a sensitivity that equally elevates the quotidian and the classical, and an attention that moves from the ancient ruins of Pompeii to the right of bodily autonomy and agency stripped away by our own Supreme Court, Franklin reveals the high stakes of our moment where \"the one who does the judging judges things all wrong.\" Franklin's Antigone has embraced the sacrifice of self for something greater--a dual devotion to her disabled daughter and to her art. \"For twenty years, I have been disappearing,\" she writes in the book's final poem, yet she continues to sing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Jennifer Franklin is the author of two previous full-length poetry collections, most recently\u003ci\u003e No Small Gift \u003c\/i\u003e(Four Way Books, 2018).
