Poetry Unbound
Inescapable Glances: Understanding the Past
The poem reframes the story of Sodom, particularly the moment when Lot's wife looks back at the burning city, enriching the narrative by giving voice to her perspective.

The poem suggests that anyone in her situation would have looked back, capturing the universal nature of longing for what is lost, even amidst destruction.
