And, special thanks to all who have read the editors' books, including the reader who recently said this about Diana's book, A Woman's Song:
May-Waldman crafts a narrative that is both unsettling and profoundly impactful!
A Woman's Song by Diana May-Waldman is a piercingly honest poetry collection that delves into the complex experiences of womanhood. May-Waldman's unfiltered verses serve as a raw and visceral exploration of the challenges and contradictions that define the female experience. Her poetry confronts the harsh realities of rape, violence, and inequality, while also capturing the nuanced emotions of love, lust, anguish, and tenderness. The poems oscillate between bitterness and softness, painting a vivid picture of survival and resilience.
This collection is a series of reflections and a call to witness the depth of female spirit and endurance. It promises to disturb and shock, leaving readers moved and perhaps transformed by its unyielding honesty and emotional depth. A Woman's Song is a crucial read for anyone ready to face reality through the fierce lens of feminist poetry.
