About the book:

Stories have the power to free us, or to hold us captive. Imagine a Woman is a book about both. These poems offer new ways to devote ourselves to the myths, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and playground songs that captivate our memories and inspire our futures, igniting a sharp and stirring transformation from being silenced to learning how to speak.

Dorothy Neagle was born and raised in South Central Kentucky on unceded Cherokee land. She received a BA and MA in Design & Environmental Analysis from Cornell University, and has studied writing at Cornell, NYU, Columbia University, the Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College, and the Unterberg Poetry Center. She recently completed a fellowship at Yaddo, and was named a semi-finalist in the 92Y’s Discovery Poetry Contest. She currently lives and writes poetry, memoir, and fiction in Hastings on Hudson, NY, on the traditional lands of the Lenape people. Follow along @sentencesaremyfave
