My poem – Rape Kits – was published in Timeless Tales Magazine’s Pandora Box Issue 8/15/19

I am honored that my poem Rape Kits was published in the 3rd edition of Pandora’s Box in Timeless Tales Magazine.

This poem was inspired by the HBO documentary - I am evidence and the appalling reality of the rape kit backlog remaining untested in the hundreds of thousands. I was horrified by the idea of these boxes in a warehouse where birds were actually making nests of the evidence, of these women’s bodies and pain, evidence that could put the rapists behind bars. And who better to open the boxes than Pandora?

Pandora opening the box is frequently seen as cataclysmic but in this case, she’s a warrior, doing what is necessary for justice. All the emotions from the collective violations released giving the victims hope.

A word about the moths – in some versions of the myth, the “bad” things released are described as moths and I thought what if these moths were avenging goddesses and in my internet sleuthing came across Theodore D. Sargent’s invaluable Working Paper of Attributes - Goddesses – Moths. I have always thought that moths were underrated.

Timeless Tales Magazine: Pandora's Box

If you think you already know the story of Pandora's Box, think again. This collection of short stories and poetry reinvents the Greek myth in ten radically different ways. One minute you'll be transported to a vaccine research center in Australia where a virus is on the brink of being unleashed upon the world. The next minute, you'll find yourself digging through ancient ruins in search of the legendary (and cursed?) Phoenician Puzzle Sphere. The infamous Box takes many different forms in this collection. Sometimes it's a cardboard box full of old photographs. Other times, it's entire warehouses of untested rape kits. Full of origin stories and sequels, ranging from humorous to horrific, you can always count on Timeless Tales to bring the unexpected.
