Produktbeschreibung

A small but monumental classic.... Because is a triumph. Rumpus

A disturbing, memorably and superbly handled book-length narrative poem (Stephanie Burt), Because offers a compassionate and wrenching account of the author's experience of childhood sexual abuse. It tells the story of Don, the charming, enigmatic director of a youth wilderness camp who befriends, and preys on, the young boys in his care. Unfolding through a series of jewel-like scenes, Because renders the shifting landscapes of childhood memory with a swift and convincing music, building a tale that is powerful, complex, and heartbreaking.
