An electric collection of essays and poems by America's most prominent feminist Jewish poet and critic.
What does a post-secular poetics look like? How might feminist midrash, irreverent play, and renewed engagement with spiritual lineages reshape the way we read? In this bold and wide-ranging collection, Alicia Ostriker--author of the groundbreaking Stealing the Language: The Emergence of Women's Poetry in America--grapples with these questions. With incisive and lyrical force, she wrestles with patriarchy without discarding its canons: reimagining biblical women as activists and tricksters, rethinking the face of the biblical Other, and helping to restore the divine feminine to Jewish consciousness.
