Stitched on Me is a collection of poems about coming into your own, about feeling comfortable and confident enough to know when to say f*ck it! and to know when to stand your ground and fight. These poems take the reader on a journey through self-discovery that can only come with age and living through the tough stuff. This collection does not ask permission nor does it beg forgiveness. Instead, these fierce poems give us lessons, sage advice, and the attitude we all want and need.
***
Through keen observations and meditations on daily life, this fierce, bold collection of feminist poems interrogates the familial and societal expectations of women in the Anthropocene. From the mall to Anne Sexton's typewriter, from the movie Top Gun to the battlefield of one's body, Hilary King invites readers to consider the wars women fight with ourselves and with those who so often seek to diminish us. What happens when instead of pretty things, we want an empire, when we dream of conquering / dream of surrendering? If you are a woman in America, if you have been unsatisfied with the pretense of silk, this book will challenge and sustain you. It is a necessary, truth-telling commentary on the conflicts and contradictions that thread themselves through our complex identities and our lives.Joan Kwon Glass, author of Night Swim
