| Notes | Ambiguous poem that raises questions of gender violence and religious oppression through the imagery of a misogynist male speaker who criticizes womanhood as evil and corrupt. The figure of the inquisitor per se frames Catholic morality and the use of violence to eliminate heresy and blasphemy. The title of the collection What the Earth Cost Us is a quote by Osip Mandelstam. |
