Thanks to Workman publishing for providing this. Like much with Bill Clinton, the truth lies somewhere in the middle, but there's no doubt that he is a master of the English language. Taken word for word from the sworn testimony of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky and arranged like free verse on the page, here is an unexpected collection of found poetry.  Filled with the pleasures of language, surprising juxtapositions, and moments of truth, humor, tenderness and insight, Poetry Under Oath reveals the human side behind a history-making affair.

'In the Context of Her Desire'

She raised the issue with me
In the context of her desire
To avoid testifying

Which I certainly understood

Some embarassing facts
About our relationship

But also because a whole lot
Of innocent people were
Being traumatized
And dragged
Through the mud
By these Jones
Lawyers
With their
Dragnet

'It's Possible'

She brought it to me

She was the only person there

That's possible
