  Are You Judging Me Yet? - Poetry...

  Kim Moore

  Five 'lyric essays' exploring the dynamics of performing poetry as a female poet – confronting the implications of being a female on public display, with the connotations of sexual objectification, in a context that traditionally disregards the body. Kim states "With the strides and gains made through the #MeToo movement, I believe the time is right for a book like this to make an impact. As a female poet, I know there is a need for such a book to examine the intersection between writing, performing, feminism and sexism. I wish this book had been written when I first started working as a freelance writer and I've had many conversations with other female poets who have also confirmed my thinking – that female poets are navigating these things regularly, and yet nobody is really writing or talking about them."
  The book draws on her experiences of writing and performing the poems in her second collection All the Men I Never Married. It is a balance of memoir, academic treatise and poetry, though the author's emphasis is on writing in a popular way and making the subject accessible to a wide audience. To achieve this her models have been Maggie Nelson's Bluets, Claudia Rankine's Citizen and Sarah Ahmed's Living a Feminist Life. 
  The book's subjects include heckling at poetry readings and other interactions; problems with the 'male gaze' and what the 'female gaze' might look like in poetry; 'guilty for being a man': how guilt can be useful if it can bring about change; how writing poetry about sexism can shed add meaning to the term; the objectification of men and women, and 'bad faith' arguments.
  Are You Judging Me Yet?, by Kim Moore, is a remarkable collection of essays and poetry that explore, as the tagline suggests, everyday sexism. – neverintimate
  '…Moore's work becomes an even more vital tool in the work being done to challenge everyday sexism. Reading her work is not only a window into her own experiences, but may also act as a means of education, and that's something we all need to see more of.' – Wales Arts Review

  Concrete Skins: 
  Imagining that you can escape the modern era, of Cities that dwell upon us, like arms of terror. 
  This poem 'Concrete Skins' is about escapism into possibly the vortices of the mind. 
  A supernatural place from the concrete blocks of thoughts that encapsulate our daily lives. 
  Surrounded by concrete, hemmed in by the cement and trapped in the stud walls of modern city life.

  Satiromastix

  Thomas Dekker

  Satiromastix by Thomas Dekker is a sharp and spirited Elizabethan satire that boldly engages in the famous "Poetomachia," or War of the Theatres. Written as a dramatic response to rival playwrights, the play combines comedy, satire, and social commentary to critique artistic pride, literary rivalry, and courtly pretension in early modern London.
  
  At the center of the work is a satirical portrayal of a self-important poet figure, whose inflated sense of artistic superiority becomes the target of Dekker's wit and theatrical humor. Through exaggerated characterization and playful dialogue, Dekker exposes the vanity and competitiveness that can exist within literary and courtly circles.
  
  The narrative unfolds through a series of comic encounters, witty exchanges, and ironic reversals, where reputation and ego are constantly challenged. Alongside its satirical focus on poets and playwrights, the play also presents a broader critique of social ambition and the performance of identity in a culture deeply concerned with status and recognition.
  
  Dekker's writing is lively, accessible, and sharply humorous, blending realism with theatrical exaggeration to create a work that is both entertaining and pointed in its criticism. The play reflects the vibrant and often contentious world of Elizabethan theatre, where artistic rivalry could become material for dramatic expression.
  
  Satiromastix remains an important example of early modern literary satire, offering insight into the dynamics of theatrical competition and the cultural environment of its time. Its enduring appeal lies in its energetic humor, clever dialogue, and fearless engagement with questions of artistic pride and public reputation.

  Ways to Say Goodbye

  In this poetry collection 'Ways to Say Goodbye'. Anne Kellas takes the listener through dream sequences, abstract and imagistic poems and deeply personal poems of loss. The effect is a cumulative building of a quiet world of reflective resilience as the poet tries out possible ways to do what is almost impossible – to love and to say goodbye."These poems, their accounts of the ways art, chance talk, angels, birds, memories and music can come at us with terrible and tender truths, are gifts that teach us how ‘to read the mind of clouds’." (Kevin Brophy)

  In stirring verse and essays, Katy Bowser Hutson chronicles her battle with breast cancer and the complications of faith amid such a fight. Accentuated by the art of Jodi Hays, Katy's words lead us through the realization of cancer, the experience of chemotherapy and a mastectomy, relentless rounds of radiation, the uncertainty of ongoing treatment, and what comes after survival. She writes in resistance to sickness, of wrestling toward beauty:
  Cancer is an overgrowth, a kudzu:Tangling and strangling legitimate life.
  
  Chemo is a killing, a burning out:
  
  Burning down to ashy carbon, indiscriminately
  
  But cancer, did you know that I am a poet?
  Through it all, she shows what it means to struggle in a battered body and to pray to a God who is near to the broken. Join her in this consideration of mortality and witness her persisting trust in God's unseen ways.
