Violence of this nature is not a once-off occurance, but is persistant, frequent and aimed at instilling fear into the victim.

'I Know a Woman' by April O'Connor is a collection of poems and sketches which, in its entirety, traces one Irish woman's journey from victim to survivor of domestic violence. It is an astonishingly brave collection, and one that challenges the reader to engage on an emotional level, not only with the woman behind the words on the page, but with the concept of domestic violence as it is (mis)understood in our society. It is an important collection that will touch everyone who reads it.
