ANDREA’S POEM – RAPE KITS – WAS PUBLISHED IN TIMELESS TALES MAGAZINE’S PANDORA BOX ISSUE 8/15/19
Posted on Tuesday August 20, 2019 at 6:21 pm
Andrea is honored that her poem Rape Kits was published in the 3rd edition of Pandora’s Box in Timeless Tales Magazine.

What Andrea has to say about this poem –

This poem was inspired by the HBO documentary - I am evidence and the appalling reality of the rape kit backlog remaining untested in the hundreds of thousands. I was horrified by the idea of these boxes in a warehouse where birds were actually making nests of the evidence, of these women’s bodies and pain, evidence that could put the rapists behind bars. And who better to open the boxes than Pandora?

Pandora opening the box is frequently seen as cataclysmic but in this case, she’s a warrior, doing what is necessary for justice. All the emotions from the collective violations released giving the victims hope.

A word about the moths – in some versions of the myth, the “bad” things released are described as moths and I thought what if these moths were avenging goddesses and in my internet sleuthing came across Theodore D. Sargent’s invaluable Working Paper of Attributes - Goddesses – Moths. I have always thought that moths were underrated.
