Other Women's Kitchens

Other Women's Kitchens. is Alison Binney's debut pamphlet of poems and introduces us to a gifted new voice who writes with flair and feeling about coming out and coming of age as a gay woman in 21st century Britain. Winner of the Mslexia pamphlet prize for poetry, the collection explores the challenges of discovering and owning a lesbian identity in the 1980s and 1990s and the joy of finding both love and increased confidence in that identity as an adult. An adroit admixture of the heart-wrenching and the humorous, the book features shaped and 'found' pieces, traditional narrative and compact prose poems. Beautifully entertaining, pointedly political and often very funny, Other Women's Kitchens. is essential reading. Seren is thrilled to be presenting this author's first collected work.
