The Male Body at Night

Sexual assault "typically" happens to women and are "typically" perpetrated by men. But "typical" doesn't matter for the 16 year old gay boy violated on a blind date. In this explosive collection of poems and essays written between 3 days and 5 years after his attack, Anderson takes readers on a re-imagining of sexual violence. He discusses his own attack, the male body's unique positioning as both predator and prey, and how the court of public opinion can regard sexual violence the same way it regards other forms of violence. Half of all author's proceeds will be donated to RAINN.
