A defiant exploration of body image and self-acceptance through poetic forms.
Stephanie Rogers' Fat Girl Forms fearlessly confronts societal expectations and celebrates the beauty and strength of the female form. Written entirely in traditional and invented forms, this collection explores how it feels to move one's body in a world not built to hold it. She examines the way society humiliates fat women, especially those who don't conform to conventional standards of beauty.
Brash, sassy, and in your face, this second full-length collection depicts one fat woman's challenge to a culture that constantly tells them that they are unwanted, unloved, unworthy, all of this done in verse forms full of panache and élan. For women and readers of feminist poetry who seek empowerment and validation, Fat Girl Forms is a testament to resilience and self-love. Discover the power of embracing your true self and challenging societal norms. Keywords: feminist poetry, body image, self-acceptance.
