Description
The Distaff Side presents a powerful counterpoint to the dismissal of needlework as mere "women's work". This collection of poems reveals the skill and artistic expression that can be found in this traditional craft.
Through the use of needle and pen, Mary Leader explores the connections between selfhood, history, meaning, and wisdom. The result is a book that creates patterns that exceed the confines of artistic form, reclaiming and redefining it with an affirming and transcendent effect.
This collection is a testament to the enduring power of love as a subversive expression, one that can be found in both the needlework and the written word. A must-have for anyone interested in poetry and women's studies.
