Hallelujah for 50ft Women: poems about women's relationship to their bodies

by The Raving Beauties (Editor), Kerry Hammerton (Contributor)

Our relationship to our bodies is affected by many things including culture, religion, family, sex, hunger, pleasure and pain. This new anthology is inspired by a passionate desire to celebrate our bodies in a fully realised way, leaving Barbie's grotesque silent pliability in her box for good.

[Kay · Rating 3 out of 5]

An extremely varied collection of poems by women about female bodies and their experiences. 3 poems stood out for me, one on breastfeeding, one on false teeth and one on the churching of women (this perhaps gives an idea of the variety of subject matter). I shall keep this book for a while and see whether I feel prompted to re-read any of the poems.
