The poems in Paige Ackerson-Kiely''s third collection explore entrapment, captivity, violence, and a longing to vanish. Ackerson-Kiely has long been interested in characters who are aware of their foibles, and who find ways to turn away from those problems through real or imagined escape hatches. The long poem in Dolefully, A Rampart Stands, ''Book About a Candle Burning in a Shed,'' was inspired by a murder case in Kansas in 2007, and considers how often a crime victim''s narrative and persona can be overshadowed either by the choices they made or by the voice of the investigator or perpetrator.
