And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound by Anderson, Morag

Description

In her second chapbook, *And I Will Make of You a Vowel Sound*, Morag Anderson places centre stage an unlikely cast of neglected, exploited, and unsung characters. These poems uncover many of the contradictions of life lived in the female body and bear witness to largely forgotten yet highly-personal stories, woman by woman, girl by girl. Confident and assured of voice, she navigates womanhood and its attendant desires and abuses, permitting the reader to embrace the power and vulnerability encased in the female form. Anderson’s delicate choice of words ‘unlace restraint’ and take us to the limits of the female body’s potential.
