The Five Daughters of Spite

A collection of 50 poems from the pen of William Davoll. In his collection of verse containing adult themes, Davoll explores the emotions of Fear, Revenge, Betrayal, Injustice and Loss; the five daughters of Spite. Davoll's poetry will take you on a roller-coaster ride of sensations that embody both the real and imagined poetic world.

Imagine that Spite is a raucous, disruptive, and not to mention promiscuous being. She puts herself about, and in congress with the five evils of the world she spawns five daughters, whom she names Fear, Revenge, Betrayal, Injustice, and Loss.

The Pieces in this collection are not about the daughters, but are about the situations, results and responses that come about in the wake of the emotions that they represent, and evoke in going about their existence in both the real and imagined poetic world.
