Therese Gleason Carr: “This poem is in response to an article in the New York Times about the sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo. In particular, the article described how one staffer said that ‘… Mr. Cuomo also kissed her repeatedly, including at least once on the lips, and rubbed her buttocks.’ Reading this account, it struck me that I, too, have been subjected to this type of unwanted attention. All the shame, anxiety, guilt, confusion, and anger I experienced on these occasions flooded back. It also struck me how our thinking about sexual harassment and assault has evolved since the #MeToo movement—and how far we still need to go.” (web)
