"Indiscretion of an American Wife," 1954, a poem by Suzanne Frischkorn

This poem is from my forthcoming book, Girl on a Bridge, spring 2010, Main Street Rag Publishing.

"...These poems burn holes on the fairy tale pages of domestic fantasy and uncover the treacherous (though more exciting) narratives of those women who dare stray from the path or, at the very least, who celebrate their desires: What"s more flattering than being wanted by a mouth that waters? This book of finely-crafted verse holds up its poetry like a lovely razor blade."

--Rigoberto González

Suzanne Frischkorn is a fierce and fearless poet. In Girl on a Bridge, she first upends our dainty notions of girlhood and then leads us into the wilderness of violence, madness, fear, and love -- and does so with beauty and tenderness.

--Julianna Baggott
