“Maybe he could tell I had a look in my eye / That wasn’t crazy anymore / Maybe he could feel the wild cool blood in me / And it frightened him / And he lashed out in fear...” Dorothea Lasky reads "I Had a Man" from her poetry collection Thunderbird (Wave Books, 2012) for the Milk & Roses Reading Series in Brooklyn.
