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."

I had a really positive experience with New Assignment Help Australia during my final year when I needed urgent help with my business law assignment. Their customer support was quick and friendly, and the content I received was plagiarism-free and to the point. What stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. I can say from personal experience, they provide Reliable Assignment Help In Australia that you can trust even in last-minute situations. Thanks to their support, I was able to submit on time and even scored better than I expected. Definitely coming back for more help in future.
