Some pieces, like “The Monster,” place themselves in the mind and body of the character on which they’re based, an excavation of the bitterness that isolation has made of them. Others, like “Neil Perry,” take the genre and theme of the source and run with it, setting scenes on the backlot of the poet’s experiences, casting them with her friends and family. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe common thread among all the poems in this collection?
