Birds as metaphors and feminine voices

Natalie Lang reviewed Radiant Voices: 21 Feminist Essays for Rising Up Inspired by EMMA Talks (curated by carla bergman, TouchWood Editions, 2019) for The Ormsby Review.

The review provides some background on the conception and development of the book as well as provides a nice overview of the essays.

The anthology showcases a diversity of writers, thinkers, activists, scholars, artists, and community builders. Contributors, including Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Kinnie Starr, Silvia Federici, Vivek Shraya, Chief Janice George, and Astra Taylor, explore themes of connection, rediscovery, creating, social justice, celebration, and matriarchy.

You can also read more about the book in an earlier interview with carla bergman over on All Lit Up (October 2019).
