Fiolet & Wing: An Anthology of Domestic Fabulist Poetry

Fiolet & Wing: An Anthology of Domestic Fabulist Poetry - a survey of contemporary women poets working with the incorporation of real and surreal elements into domestic realms. This extraordinary collection brings together poets writing in the fabulist tradition: fable, myth, fairytale, or magic. These poems weave a spell. Within this one-of-a kind anthology, women-identifying poets boldly claim domestic landscapes to explore what nurtures and what breaks us. Why Domestic? A word once dismissive of women's writing, these poets unapologetically and boldly claim the domains of hearth and home as well as all the relationships that fall within. Domestic fabulist poetry is that which explores what nurtures and what breaks us. Since no comparable resource on contemporary domestic fabulist poetry existed, Editors Balkun and Moore curated a unique collection as both an introduction to and a survey of the ways women poets reclaim the domestic sphere and define a genre. Women-identifying writers representing all regions of the continental U.S. and abroad spanning four continents find home here. Contributors include Kelli Russell Agodon, Jennifer Givhan, Miriam Bird Greenberg, Carol Guess, Akua Lezli Hope, Colette Inez, Melinda Palacio, Susan Rich, Martha Silano, Cecilia Woloch, and many others.
