Den amerikanska flickans söndagar

Begun in Austin, Texas, during the winter at the end of 1999, and long left as a fragment, this story in free verse is based on an actual crime: a young woman living alone, cleaning her car on a Sunday morning, is abducted, raped and killed by two men, and years later one of them is executed, to little comfort. The poet sets out to give the girl, who vanished from the world so brutally and senselessly, a voice of her own.
