She Too Is a Sailor

Antonia Jade King's debut pamphlet, She Too Is a Sailor is full of protest and melody. Invoking a choir of inspirational women from Beyoncé and Maya Angelou to the poet's mother, King deconstructs what it means to be woman, to be other, to be an outsider in your own family. On love, the speaker simultaneously bites and holds back, accepting that cynicism does not render her immune and that 'my name is not protection from men or their fists'. Intertwining pop culture with the political, this book is a reminder of art's capacity to reclaim narratives.
