They're back! The poets from Fat Poets Speak: Voices of the Fat Poets' Society again embrace their lives as fat women in a thin-loving culture and write poems about negotiating their days among different, sometimes dangerous and hate-filled worlds. But they are more than just their voices. They are women who live and love with gusto, passion and yearning -- they live and love fatly.
Fat Poets Speak 2 takes you on a journey through the days of these deeply angry, loving, creative poets. Laugh, cry, commiserate and celebrate as the poets guide you through highs and lows, sadness and joy, grim defiance and determination and stinning pinnacles of loving and understanding. Especially lush and sensuous poems are starred for the benefit of readers.
Four of the contributors from the first volume (Kathy Barron, Anne S. Kaplan, Lesleigh Owen & Frannie Zellman) are back, and this second volume proudly adds Eileen Rosensteel and Mary Ray Worley, founder of the Fat Poets' Society at a NAAFA convention in the Boston area in 2006. Fat Poets Speak 2 also features one poem each by four new voices (Durette Hauser, Deb Lemire, Dr. Deah Schwartz & M.M. Stein), activists in the fat acceptance movement.
The Fat Poets' Society is donating royalties from Fat Poets Speak 2 to Ragen Chastain (www.danceswithfat.com) in support of her fat activism work.
