"'Agatha' is a poem I wrote while staring at paintings of St. Agatha. St. Agatha endured unspeakable violence but kept her faith in a holy power and the other world, in spite of the cruelty of this one. 'Agatha' is a poem from my new book, Milk, which is about the power of creativity and love."
—Dorothea Lasky
