WINNER of The Saboteur Awards Best Anthology of 2018
This book came straight out of a long thread on Deborah Alma's Facebook page in October 2017. Something was released and given a space within social media. Many women felt emboldened by this to share more difficult stories, more details. As a poet, and an editor, it felt natural to Deborah to collect these stories somehow and it was obvious to collect them as poems.
