Anyone who has seen the film Spotlight will find a powerful poetic companion in this poetry collection. What Trammels the Heart casts new light on the clergy cover-up and grapples with the assaults that abruptly ended so many childhoods and ruined so many lives. Compounding the devastation of the pedophilia scandals was the later confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and the ascension of the religious right. While a parent's complicity might be the most shattering companion piece within this text, the author ultimately attains a semblance of personal redemption while honoring the testimony of the victims and challenging centuries of entrenched religious abuse.
