Sub-titled 'Bright, Brave Poems About Escape and Freedom by Women' here is an uplifting collection from the ancient world to the present day. There are poems on wanderlust, travel, daydreams, flights of fancy, escaping into books, tranquillity, courage, hope and resilience from frustrated housewives to passionate activists, servants and suffragettes to some of today's most gifted writers. It is a bold choir of voices demanding independence and celebrating their hard-won power. Immerse yourself in poems by Carol Ann Duffy, Christina Rossetti, Stevie Smith, Sarah Crossan, Emily Dickinson, Nikita Gill, Fiona Benson to name but a few. 'A book is a thing of power. On the shelves of any library are stacked time machines, stately galleons, space shuttles and trap doors ready to plunge the reader into unfamiliar landscapes, seen through new eyes. These poems celebrate the sheer giddy delights of reading.' 130 poems with many female poets here to discover. Fairly large print, 284pp with satin page marker.
