Prelude explores the gay female experience through a poetic reconstruction of the girlhood and adolescence of Saint Catherine of Siena. Speaking through a poetic persona of Catherine of Siena, Prelude addresses the historical erasure of gay women's lives, juxtaposing details from her girlhood with the terrain of the lesbian body as it relates to desire and violence.
