<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A series of poems on objectification in America--most of which is based on interviews the author conducted with sex-trafficking survivors. A selection from that series which I fashioned into a taut, provocative chapbook collection"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>"We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake," said Fredrick Douglas about the abolitionist movement in 1852. Jennifer Jean's latest collection Object Lesson</em> answers this call to action as it explores sex-trafficking and objectification in twenty-first century America. Jean uses relentless, dire, vital language-often tinged with hope-to pull us into these latest, darkest stories of our homeland. Her intensely crafted lyric narratives and persona poems are based on poetry workshops with sex-trafficking survivors through the Free2Write Poetry program. Other pieces are based on in-person, or researched, interviews with survivors of what is definitively modern-day slavery.
