Agrippina was a daughter in a golden political family, destined for greatness--but she hungered for more power than women were allowed. Exhausted by the misogyny of the present, Diana Arterian reaches into the past to try to understand the patriarchal systems of today. In lyric verse and prose poems, she traces Agrippina's rise, interrogating a life studded with intrigue, sex, murder, and manipulation. Arterian eagerly pursues Agrippina through texts, ruins, and films, exhuming the hidden details of the ancient noblewoman's life. These poems consider the valences of patriarchy, power, and the archive to try to answer the question: How do we recover a woman erased by history?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDIANA ARTERIAN \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the poetry collection \u003ci\u003ePlaying Monster:: Seiche\u003c\/i\u003e and has twice been a finalist for the National Poetry Series.
