These are all amazing! Such talented poets delving into what it means to be a woman. With the number of different personalities featured, the reader gains a comprehensive understanding of the many facets involved in being a woman. Well done!
Okay, I just skipped my homework to finally read through this, and they are all amazing! Fiona, yours resonated with me, and Chelsea, I sent yours to my best friend, who is a mom to a young boy. These were superb, everyone!
Skipping homework for poetry is the kind of energy I fully support 😂 Thank you so much for reading—and for sending mine to your friend! That seriously made my day.
The Forgotten Muse - I knew from the title this would be a banger. Taking the opposite perspective was genius - it made the absurdity that much more apparent.
Jack - one of my favorite things about my husband is that he truly listens to me and hears me. He remembers everything I tell him, big and small. You’ve captured that “seen-ness” so beautifully in your poem!
Tina - I adored your piece! That tension between missing the attention and being freed by its absence—so relatable. I loved how it became a reclamation of self as it unfolded.

That’s so true. All ages and view points. Like different facets of some gorgeous Ruby.
Exactly! It has quite a sparkle no matter which way you look at it.
I LOVE this collection.
Volume III is looking amazing, but Volume I is just everything to me.
Great stuff, everyone!
Thanking you! How’s Nashville this time-O-year?
This is a hot and muggy time in my part of the US. How are things down under?
It’s -1 at night and my anti-anxiety medication is amphetamine-based = I’m super fucking cold.

Of course. I found it to be so powerful!
A rare sight to see a group of people so in touch with their inner world 🧚♂️ THIS IS A TREAT 💋👌

Please make like 1000 more of these lol 🤣

Julie - Wow! This one is visceral, gritty, and relentless in the best way. It’s a cry and a confrontation wrapped in one.

Thank you so much Chelsea. You totally get it - which is beautiful xx
Melanie - The metaphor of the body as a war-torn country is devastating and really lingers. This will stay with me.
Thank you, Chelsea!
Shayne - This one floored me. Every line is clipped like a report, but the weight behind them is seismic! So impactful.
Thank you so much. Your kind words made my day, Chelsea.
