7 Feminist Poetry Collections About Gender and Identity Reviewed at Electric Lit!


"A fierce, feminist page-turner of a book, Melnick’s third collection is a riveting follow-up to Landscape With Sex & Violence. 'You can only hear you look like a hooker so many times/ before you become one,' she writes, recounting the story of babysitting for the rabbi’s son as a teen, a chilling parable about survival under patriarchy. With her signature wit and candor, Melnick reckons with a history of misogyny and anti-Semitism, war and atrocity, sexual and domestic violence, myriad abuses of power—and yet there is humor and hopefulness in her voice, a perpetual sense of discovery."


"Shelley Wong is the poet-queen the world needs right now. Her visionary debut, As She Appears, centers queer women of color in shape-shifting poems of becoming and knowing, seeing and being seen. Wong uses white space and silence to pose questions about identity and interiority, femininity and power: 'women are familiar with surrender/ & the appearance of it,' she writes, letting the lines float free on the page."

An Instagram bio for boys is a short, catchy description that appears on a male user's profile, helping to express their personality, interests, or vibe. It’s a chance to showcase individuality, whether through humor, inspirational quotes, or bold statements. The right Instagram bio can make a lasting first impression, attract followers, and set the tone for the content on the profile. Boys can use their bio to highlight hobbies, passions, and personal style or even add a touch of creativity with emojis, quotes, or playful wordplay. It's a simple yet powerful tool for self-expression in the world of social media.

These feminist poetry collections are a powerful exploration of gender and identity, brilliantly addressing the nuances of modern life. I especially appreciate how poetry can amplify voices like those in these works. Just like navigating the challenges in Flappy Bird, where every flap represents overcoming obstacles, these poets tackle personal and societal barriers with resilience. Their verses remind us of the importance of perspective in both art and life.
