A lovely collection of poems. Will definitely come back to this anthology later on. 

The minus .25 is for putting the little author bios at the back of the book, where they are less encouraging to read. I skipped them for now, but might read them once I come back to this collection later.

As I have gotten older I have come to appreciate poetry more than I did as a child. However, my love isn’t for the written word it is for the chosen nuances. I like studying the poem, looking at the writer and discovering why it was written. What is great about the She is Fierce collection is that some of the work is already done for you. You have the poem, you have it categorised into what type of poem it is and then you have a breakdown of the writer. Brilliant.

She is Fierce is a wonderful collection that is compromised of fantastic female voices. Some poems are familiar but the majority are ones that I certainly hadn’t come across before. It was wonderful to find some new and interesting voices.

This is a perfect collection for the feminist poetry lover in your life.

She is Fierce – Brave, Bold and Beautiful Poems by Women by Ana Sampson is available now.

Utterly sensational.

This anthology is separated into core themes and includes works from the greats (Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, Christina Rossetti) as well as introducing some lesser known poets.

This book is now my go to for all comfort and inspiration needed to make it as a woman in this world.
