Look at All the Women

From the back cover: "Look at all the women! What a waste of time / life would be without them." Women are everywhere and doing everything - fighting the Nazis, breastfeeding babies, falling in love (or at least tripping over it), feeling embarassed, inventing new passionate positions or, in our myths, flying to the moon or singing sailors to their doom. These poems capture their voices in a variety of forms, sometimes with bite and sometimes with a gleeful grin. 'Witty, tender and sometimes outraged, Cathy Bryant's second collection tackles the way women are treated in today's society. Heroines are singled out; the various stages of womanhood celebrated. Bryant enjoys using rhyme to emphasise a point but is equally at home in free verse. Her work is accessible, unafraid and engaging.' Angela Topping, poet, literary critic and author. 'Cathy's poetry does a double-take on the world, with humour and always with compassion.' Rosie Garland, poet, author.
