Scarborough by Lista, Michael The Scarborourgh takes place over three days in 1992: Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday-the weekend 15-year-old Kristin French was abducted and murdered by Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka. In poems both opulent and stricken, ravishing and unflinching, Michael Lista-nine, at the time-revisits those dates, haunted by the horrifying facts he now possesses. Inspired, in part, by Dante's Inferno , Virgil's tale of Orpheus' descent into the underworld for Eurydice, as well as the Bernardo trial itself-where the judge ruled that the gallery could hear the video tapes of the crimes, but not see them-Lista's poems adhere to a single rule: you cannot gaze at the beloved you seek to rescue.
