Hers

Hers

Patricia Roth Schwartz
5/5 ( ratings)
Hers is volume two of Poets Speak , a series of mini-anthologies in rapid response to the national and planetary crisis provoked by the election of 11/8/16. This series is the original idea of John Roche, series editor. Other 2017 volumes in the series are Trumped, Water, Survival, and Walls. As editor of this volume, I have selected poems that address women's issues in various areas, divided into sections. Women's struggles are more important than ever since the Trump Administration took power in 2017. Section I takes us to the ice age, through Biblical stories, the Madonna, and on to how women are perceived in history, while still capturing that wildness inside. Section II explores women's bodies and self-worth with less than perfect bodies and the invisibility of older women in society. Section III continues those bodily images with what women endure with domestic violence and society, relationships, what we learn from our mothers or pass on to our daughters. Section IV brings us into the everyday life of women and girls, and how we find strengths at home, in the workplace or out in the world. Sections V and VI take on politics and world issues, especially since the Trump administration, the 2017 Women's March, the struggle to pass the ERA, reproductive rights and other issues. Throughout, I find a sense of hope and solidarity that women will endure. We've been dealing with similar issues a long time and we're not about to stop now. I wish to thank all the amazing poets and artists who are contributing to this project! The poems, photos and art in Hers truly come from the heart and I am proud to release this timely collection into the world as a powerful inspiration to all readers.
