Tolu Agbelusi

Locating Strongwoman

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Locating Strongwoman is a portrait of unperformed femininity. Eschewing the stereotypical portrayal of the "Strong Woman" and the even more loaded "Strong Black Woman", these poems invite the reader to interrogate the protagonists and find in their stories a quiet strength.
