The Queen of Queens

In this tenacious collection of poems, the drugs, pop music, rocket crash, and Martelli’s queens–from Geraldine Ferraro to Madonna, Nancy Pelosi to Molly Ringwald–embody the struggle with and resistance against gender oppression, political sexism, and ongoing threats to reproductive rights, while reminding us of the power of one strong woman.

Jennifer Martelli is the author of My Tarantella (Bordighera Press), awarded an Honorable Mention from the Italian American Studies Association, selected as a Must Read by the Massachusetts Center for the Book, and named as a finalist for the Housatonic Book Award.
