Alissa Quart reconfigures the recent public statements of men who have sexually harassed, assaulted, or raped women (or, in one case, other men) into free-form poetry.

I always felt I was pursuing shared feelings.

I am suffering the same treatment

A wake up call

Wish I had reacted to their admiration of me

conquer my demons

I wielded that power

I came of age when all the rules

different script

I was mistaken

I’ve brought anguish and hardship to

the people

a good example to them

as a man

This story has encouraged me to address

other things.

I so respect all women.

Wake up

I believe tampering has occurred.

I am sorry for the feelings he describes having carried

I moved on her like a bitch.
