[From the publisher] 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.
