  Coercion is a fundamental aspect of human interaction, shaping behaviors, relationships, and power dynamics across societies. It is the act of compelling someone to act against their will through force, threats, or pressure. Unlike persuasion, which relies on voluntary agreement, coercion removes choice, leaving individuals with little alternative but to comply. It exists in various forms, from physical force and legal mandates to psychological and social pressures. While coercion is often viewed negatively, it is also a tool that governments, organizations, and individuals use to maintain order, enforce rules, and achieve strategic goals. Understanding the nature of coercion requires exploring its mechanisms, ethical dilemmas, and long-term effects. 
  At its core, coercion operates through a power imbalance. The coercer holds leverage over the coerced, whether through control of resources, authority, or the ability to inflict harm. This power can be direct, as in military force or legal penalties, or indirect, such as emotional manipulation or financial dependency. In many cases, coercion is subtle, embedded within societal norms and expectations. A person may comply not because they are explicitly threatened but because the consequences of refusal—ostracization, loss of opportunities, or economic hardship—are too great to bear. This makes coercion a pervasive force, influencing decisions in ways that may not always be immediately apparent.

  All Day I Dream About Sirens

  From Homer to Starbucks, a look at sirens and mermaids and feminism and consumerism.
     
  What started as a small sequence of poems about the Starbucks logo grew to monstrous proportions after the poet fell under a siren spell herself.  All Day I Dream About Sirens  is both an ancient reverie and a screen-induced stupor as these poems reckon with the enduring cultural fascination with siren and mermaid narratives as they span geographies, economies, and generations, chronicling and reconfiguring the male-centered epic and women's bodies and subjectivities.
