Produktbeschreibung

To say Emily Perkovich's baby, sweetheart, honey is brilliant, is an understatement. The collection is potent, at times unsettling, but an incredible read. Perkovich is such a master poet that her imagery is both soft and lurid. In the poem May Crowning she writes "I watched an orchid blossom beneath the hem of my skirt/ And I'll tell you what/ It's in the petals unfurling that I fall in love" So many of the powerful poems in the collection capture what it means to walk through the world as a woman; they do not shy away from gender politics and trauma. D&C & I'll burn my own funeral pyre are haunting, while Girls, Girls, Girls is a battle cry. So many lines and poems that will stay with the reader long after they finish this ultimately empowering collection.

-Marisa Silva-Dunbar, author of Allison and When Goddesses Wake
