Maneater

MANEATER brings to life one woman's pain through poetry - visceral and rage filled, every line is palpable; it feels like your own. In her third collection of poetry, Bub focuses on legitimizing survivors anger through her own story, while examining the everyday traumas of womanhood. Every woman serves as a home to a collection of wounds and scars unique to her, but there is a universal resonance to those carved there by man, by those who would choose to denigrate her insidiously, by those who have pushed her into the ugly truths of womanhood too soon, by those who've painted her in every shade of blue. MANEATER is the story of every daughter of Lilith wronged, screamed in her every voice. It echoes of Medusa, of Eve, of Persephone. It echoes of you. It echoes of me... you feel the wrath of one woman coming undone, of one become whole through using her power -- her voice. In using it so, she has found her vengeance. And there is a sort of sweetness to that in a world devoid of justice, isn't there? It is a fire. A beacon. A light of hope for other women, for other survivors - to wield like weapon.
