There Is Violence and There Is Righteous Violence and There Is Death Or, the Born-Again Crow

Bag om There Is Violence and There Is Righteous Violence and There Is Death Or, the Born-Again Crow

Grocery-store clerk Beth has had a hell of a week. A hell of a life, actually, full of people squashing her soul. And after pushing back at life--stabbing a steak to her boss's desk and lighting a magazine rack on fire, for instance--freshly unemployed Beth regroups at her mom's suburban home. Just when Beth starts to think she's to blame for systemic limits, the gift of a bird feeder sparks a relationship with a talking Crow who reconnects her with her true power.This sly chamber piece from new voice Caleigh Crow turns post-capitalism ennui on its head with a righteous fury. It unearths the subtle (and not so subtle) ways we gaslight the marginalized, especially Indigenous women, people living with mental-health afflictions, and anyone struggling to make ends meet in low-income service jobs. There Is Violence captures the vivacity and humour of one truly remarkable woman not meant for this earth, and brings her to her own glorious transcendence.
