From Sappho to Siné ad, acclaimed poets Carina Bissett and Lee Murray parse the pages of historical writings to uncover stories lost between the lines, to lift women's voices from the margins and give them new life in a vibrant collection of sixty biographical poems that resonate with universal truth. From the archives of feminist history comes Oversight, a collection of part-found, part-persona poems inspired by the writing of women who have changed the world. These poems do not erase so much as they lift up the words and voices of greats like Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, Sappho, Harriet Tubman, Frida Kahlo, and more. Carina Bissett and Lee Murray play the role of speaker, eulogist, medium, hagiographer, and spirit guide for the powerful women of the past, making their work at once accessible to the contemporary reader. Revolutionary, visionary, and incendiary, this collection is an enlightening and meaningful read. -- Holly Lyn Walrath, Managing Editor of Interstellar Flight Press, author of the Bram Stoker Award-Nominated Numinous Stones.
