A chorus of women's voices drawn from fairy tales, history and the author's imagination sing from the pages of this wildly creative collection. By turns funny, angry and erotic, these real and fictional characters pulse with life. Emily Dickinson beats a path through a forest with her bare feet, while a landlocked mermaid sits on her boyfriend's couch and remembers the lacy algae and other delights of her past life in the ocean. Some of the women in the book are free and others feel trapped by society, but they're all alike in their fierce desire to express themselves. An unapologetically feminist book, Not Me: Poems About Other Women includes "The Ride," which was one of 18 pieces chosen to be presented at the 2015 International Women's Day Poetry Reading in Portland, Oregon.
