People love to say teen girls are mean girls, but last night this is what I got:
βYou look beautifulβ
βI love your makeupβ
βYour hair is gorg!β
βYesssssss!β
Plus lots of hugs and help getting things set up.
Teen girls are rad.

Poems from Hala Alyan
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Neroβs court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
By urgently unpacking the impossible weight of gendered expectations, Reckless strips back limiting definitions consistently thrust upon women. Together, these poems become an unflinching portrait of βwhat a girl meansβ and a striking commentary on what the female body wants and endures.β
Tackling an array of urgent topics, including reproductive rights, the trials of motherhood, the pain of divorce, and sexual emancipation, MacPherson details the realities women face throughout their lives and conjures both their fear and bravery in the face of relentless judgment.
Visceral, candid, and revelatory, Reckless follows the complex trajectory of female identity in a world that consistently denies women their right to assert it.
βIn this powerful new poetry collection, Andrea MacPherson deftly exploresβand skewersβthe ways in which a womanβs experience is invalidated by contemporary culture.
Thrilled to say this is now available for pre-order!
