A powerful collection of 150 poems written by women.
A stunning gift book containing 150 bold, brave and beautiful poems by women - from classic, well loved poets to innovative and bold modern voices. From suffragettes to school girls, from spoken word superstars to civil rights activists, from aristocratic ladies to kitchen maids, these are voices that deserve to be heard.
Collected by anthologist Ana Sampson She is Fierce: Brave, Bold and Beautiful Poems by Women contains an inclusive array of voices, from modern and contemporary poets. Immerse yourself in poems from Maya Angelou, Nikita Gill, Wendy Cope, Ysra Daley-Ward, Emily Bronte, Carol Ann Duffy, Fleur Adcock, Liz Berry, Jackie Kay, Hollie McNish, Imtiaz Dharker, Helen Dunmore, Emily Dickinson, Mary Oliver, Christina Rossetti, Margaret Atwood and Dorothy Parker, to name but a few!
Featuring short biographies of each poet, She is Fierce is a stunning collection and an essential addition to any bookshelf.
The anthology is divided into the following sections:
Roots and Growing Up
Friendship
Love
Nature
Freedom, Mindfulness and Joy
Fashion, society and body image
Protest, courage and resistance
Endings
'Covering everything from love and freedom to protest and body images, dip in and embrace words of beauty on a daily basis.' - Stylist
'Women sometimes get overlooked in poetry anthologies, but She is Fierce more than makes up for it.' - Independent
A poetry collection - all women, all stories from some of the bravest, history changing female voices. "For many [female poets], the act of publishing poetry was a rebellion in itself" the author says. But they did not stop there, for many have written poetry that was fiercely political and took action as well! A collection that will provide the perfect escape in this difficult period in all of our lives. But also a source of courage for any activist stuck at home right now. I am loving it so much, I am already excited about her new collection coming out later this year, She Will Soar.
