Jacques Lacan once referred to incest as "an incorrect distance from loved ones". Tracy Philpot finds this description "sickeningly understated". Her poetry is filled with evidence of the damages accruing from various misuses of power -- in father-child relationships, in the imbalance between teachers and students, in various affairs of the mind and body, of family and culture. These poems are always beautiful in their honesty, and sometimes brutal in their necessary anger.
