Hers vol. 2
FINALIST in the 2018 NM/AZ Book awards
Hers is volume two of Poets Speak (while we still can), a series of mini-anthologies in rapid response to the national and planetary crisis provoked by the election of 11/8/2016. This series is the original idea of John Roche, series editor. Other 2017 volumes in the series are Trumped, Water, Survival, and Walls.
“Hers” is a timely new book focusing on poems that address women’s issues. As editor of this volume,” says Jules Nyquist, “I have selected poems that address women's issues in various areas. Women's struggles are more important than ever since the Trump Administration took power in 2017.” From the ice age, through Biblical stories, the Madonna, and how women are perceived in history, Hers captures that wildness inside all women. Hers explores women's bodies and self-worth, the invisibility of older women in society, what women endure with domestic violence and relationships, what women learn from mothers or pass on to our daughters. Hers 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. Hers takes on politics and world issues, especially since the Trump administration, the 2017 Women's March, the struggle to pass the ERA, and reproductive rights.
Hers authors are from many states in the U.S., as well as Mexico, the U.K. and Scotland including Margaret Randall, Judy Grahn, Jane Lipman, Lyn Lifshin, Lisa Alvarado, Patricia Roth Schwartz and many other poets and photographers.
Profits from the Hers series have been donated to The Southwest Women’s Law Center, (August 18, 2017) (photo: L-R, John Roche, editor, Jules Nyquist, Pamelya Herndon, then-executive director of Southwest Women's Law Center, Albuquerque).
