Overview

Part prose poem, part lyric essay, Bullet Points considers an American courthouse shooting, its aftermath, and its echoes in law, history and capitalism. Tracing a woman trial lawyer's experiences of violence--from the intimate and domestic to the national--attorney and poet Jennifer A Sutherland brings a deeply perceptive tenderness to the reality of historical abuses grounded in law and capitalism. Drawing on acts of language and power, art and trauma, Bullet Points raises questions about the systems and structures that enable violence via a poetry brilliantly awake to the fact that: ""Language is one way of doing business across time and into spaces. Image is another.""
