F Letter: New Russian Feminist Poetry

EMILY'S PICK

Candid, conversational poems by some of Russia's most visionary women poets. The poems are bodily, gritty, and radical, and are written against their country's worst politics. It's pocket-sized, and perfect to read in a bar or on the bus. Feels like holding a secret. -EW

F LETTER became an icon of anti-state Russian activism upon its publication in November 2020, supported by Gloria Steinem and named one of the all time greatest works of Russian literature by Calvert Journal. It was the first ever anthology of Russian feminist poetry in any language. Many of its poets are amongst this week’s anti-war demonstrators to be arrested in Russia.
