Bücher von Jenny Molberg

Jenny Molberg's third collection of poetry, The Court of No Record, serves as both evidence and testimony against a legal system that often fails victims of physical trauma and domestic abuse. Drawing inspiration from true crime investigations and artifacts, including Frances Glessner Lee's crime scene dioramas and the tragic aftermaths of two serial killers who preyed upon women in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Molberg probes a cultural obsession with violence that performs active erasure of victims' lives. By engaging with historical texts through a personal lens, she sheds light on survivors who do not find justice and looks toward a future of positive systemic reformation.

In Refusal, her searing new collection of poetry, Jenny Molberg draws on elements of the uncanny - invented hospitals, the Demogorgon of Dungeons & Dragons, an Ophelia character who refuses suicide - to investigate trauma, addiction, and forces of oppression.
