DESCRIPTION:Frances Driscoll will read from her book which has been adapted for stage 
 in the play Lucky Girl which will be performed at the Exit Theatre in May. 
 \n\n\nPraise for the book:\n\n\n"Powerful. Sad. Touching. Sad. Inspiring. 
 Sad. What a gift she has." -- Nikki Giovanni\n\n"These are stunning poems, 
 in every sense of the word. Tracing the circuitous and torturous paths of 
 memory, Frances Driscoll fearlessly looks back on, and into, rape. Her 
 triumph is that she refuses to trivialize through a mode of 
 confessionalism. Instead, these are poems that are lush with a common, 
 familiar, evocative language that cuts through the surface detritus of our 
 lives, the 'pastel drugs' of therapy, the police reports, the 'cheap 
 filler' of the national wire. What she ultimately reveals are the beauty 
 and terror of what she hesitantly calls 'real life.' These are poems of 
 great courage. And if these are poems of terror, they are also poems of 
 beauty, as Frances Driscoll takes us to a place finally colored by the 
 'lemon-green of very young leaves.'" -- Gillian Conoley\n
