Poetry Staff Picks: Feminist Politics Meet Surrealism

As a sort of international sampler platter of contemporary women poets whose writings swerve into some of the stranger wilds where feminist politics meet surrealism, I submit:

 

All the Garbage of the World, Unite! by Kim Hyesoon

The Dead Girls Speak in Unison by Danielle Pafunda

Hackers by Aase Berg

 

Please note that none of the above are for the squeamish, the literal-minded, or those who like their verse dished up placid and polite, as fodder for wistful contemplation. Indeed, each of these poets could be justifiably called the Anti-Mary Oliver. Take it as you will.
