Reviews

"There Are Girls Like Lions is a new illustrated poetry anthology about being a woman. 'This is a collection that erodes stereotypes,' says poet and editor Cole Swensen. 'Poetry is unique in the arts in making voice literal - we speak out, we have our say. No one of these voices speaks for everyone, but through them, we all have a voice.' Read their voices, and find yours too, in the new book." -- Psychologies
