I Call My Sexuality My God: My Shampoo and My Watermelon Juice is a fiercely feminist poetry collection, which explores womanhood collocations, while challenging anti-feminine conventions and debunking sexist clichés. It employs complementary perspectives, speaking in multifarious textures and tonal blends of the female voice.

Produktbeschreibung
I Call My Sexuality My God: My Shampoo and My Watermelon Juice is a fiercely feminist poetry collection, which explores womanhood collocations, while challenging anti-feminine conventions and debunking sexist clichés. It employs complementary perspectives, speaking in multifarious textures and tonal blends of the female voice. This rather daring collection tables topics that would not normally be addressed in girl-power conferences, due to the fear of disparagement. It tactfully raises issues that would have been dead on arrival in, say, 1921, thereby making the most of the hope presented us by modern day liberalism, while recognizing the yet imperfect female disposition of the 2010's - the decade in which it was written. From comical mind-teasers like "You Should Love My Grandfather" to meditative precepts like "The Sovereignty of the Suffering Tree", I Call My Sexuality My God assumes the mandate of an all-rounder in finding a place for sensuality in morality. A three-in-one phenomenon, I Call My Sexuality My God was featured in the "Discover New Titles" segment of the New York Times in 2018.
