She Too Is a Sailor / Antonia Jade King

‘A work of fresh and direct testimony. The necessary business of catharsis and transformation is achieved with arresting wit.’ Karen McCathy Woolf

‘That sting, those breath-snatching lines. These poems do not play around.’ Joshua Idehen

‘A perceptive study of survival and understanding.’ Gboyega Odubanjo

Antonia Jade King’s debut is full of protest and melody. Invoking a choir of inspirational women from Beyoncé and Maya Angelou to the poet’s mother, King deconstructs what it means to be woman, to be other, to be an outsider in your own family.

Intertwining pop culture with the political, this book is a reminder of art’s capacity to reclaim narratives.
