Are You Judging Me Yet? Poetry and Everyday Sexism

In these lyric essays, prize-winning poet Kim Moore negotiates being a woman poet and public performer. Encouraged by the #Metoo movement and drawing on her personal experiences, she challenges objectification and lazy conventional assumptions, and advises on surviving twitter storms and bringing about change. An important book whose time has come.
