I know how a woman drowns…
In woman | folk old tales are made new, made brutal. Folklore is reclaimed and given a voice enraged by the fragility of being a woman in a society ruled by men. Tales of women suffering sexual and emotional abuse, domestic violence, miscarriage; tales of women fighting for the right to bodily autonomy, independence, freedom: all emerge screaming from the page.
Poetry that surges and swells, the lifeblood of women flow through this collection, deep as the ocean and just as dangerous. Dark, visceral, and sprinkled with magic, Chambers' words hit like a dark knuckled fist that leaves you reeling. A breathtaking debut. - Angela Readman
