Confessions and Other Strange Impulses: A Book of Poetry in Two Acts is Miriam Dufer's first book of poetry. Exploring the sacrament of penance and the dichotomy between raw emotion and reality, her poems illustrate the inner turmoil inherent in human nature.
An alcoholic, miserly attorney reluctantly defends a black man from a false resisting arrest charge. He then discovers damaging information against the cops and two cronies, and embarks on a battle to keep himself and his client alive.
