Into Eros is about recovery after sexual violence. Anne Carson's assertion that Eros is "the biggest risk of your life" takes on a new meaning within legacies of trauma, and on a quest to rediscover desire and healing. This chapbook might help survivors, by offering a complex view of life after violence which includes both difficulty and joy. "Brigley bravely confronts what it is to be a woman in a world that sees women as prey" - Maggie Smith, author of Goldenrod & Good Bones
