I have a memory of hearing Forche' reading this herself when I was a student at UW Madison. I have no way of confirming this or figuring out if this is just a conflation of real events... I mistrust my memory so much these days.
In any case, that poem is as shocking and realistically horrifying now as it was when I first encountered it.
