A collection with a feminist ethos that cuts across race, gender identity, and sexuality.
Creative activists have reacted to the 2016 Presidential election in myriad ways. Editors Danielle Barnhart and Iris Mahan have drawn on their profound knowledge of the poetry scene to put together an extraordinary list of poets taking a feminist stance against the new authority. What began as an informal collaboration of like-minded poets—to be released as a handbound chapbook—has grown into something far more substantial and ambitious: a fully fledged anthology of women’s resistance, with a portion of proceeds supporting Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
Representing the complexity and diversity of contemporary womanhood and bolstering the fight against racism, sexism, and violence, this collection unites powerful new writers, performers, and activists with established poets. Contributors include Denice Frohman, Elizabeth Acevedo, Sandra Beasley, Jericho Brown, Mahogany L. Browne, Danielle Chapman, Tyehimba Jess, Kimberly Johnson, Jacqueline Jones LaMon, Maureen N. McLane, Joyce Peseroff, Mary Ruefle, Trish Salah, Patricia Smith, Anne Waldman, and Rachel Zucker.

Quotes

  • Daniela Servínhas quoted4 years ago
    When a woman tells the truth, she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.
  • Yazmin Vasquezhas quoted4 years ago
    hen a girl pronounces her own name
    there is glory
    when a woman tells her own story
    she lives forever
    all the women i know are perennials—
    marigolds, daffodils
    soft things that refuse to die
  • reinmargo89711has quoted3 years ago
    you swam across a river under rain sang
    using a dildo for a microphone stayed up
    to watch the moon eat the sun entire
    ripped out the stitches in your heart
    because why not if you think nothing &
    no one can / listen I love you joy is coming
