What is The Scarborough about?

The Scarborough takes place over three days in 1992: Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday. It is the weekend 15-year-old Kristin French was abducted and murdered by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. In poems both opulent and stricken, ravishing and unflinching, Michael Listawho was nine, at the timerevisits those dates, haunted by the horrifying facts he now possesses. Inspired, in part, by Dantes Inferno , Virgil's tale of Orpheus descent into the underworld for Eurydice, as well as the Bernardo trial itselfwhere the judge ruled that the gallery could hear the video tapes of the crimes, but not see themListas poems adhere to a single rule: you cannot gaze at the beloved you seek to rescue. The Scarborough is a shiveringly bold book about Bernardo that doesnt show us Bernardo, a conceptual project that ignores its concept.
