She also examines the Roman Catholic community she grew up in, exposing it for its hypocrisy and conservatism.

A Necklace of Skulls contains all the verse Eunice de Souza has published during her illustrious career, as also unpublished new and early poems. This is a profoundly intimate and intensely personal collection.
