The Quiet Woman Book (40 poems and 40 pictures)
Is The Quiet Woman calling to you?
Are you reaching for words that bring comfort and hope? Then this book is here to meet you! It’s dedicated to all women looking to redefine the traditional image of a Quiet Woman:
- Quiet because she’s breathing in, filling her lungs, ready to roar
- Quiet because she doesn’t need to ask for outside validation
- Quiet because she’s busy getting the rest she needs in order to thrive
- Quiet because she’s focused on listening intently to her own voice
The Quiet Woman invites you to journey through 40 poems and 40 pieces of art, each openly embracing questions of womanhood, faith, doubt, motherhood, radical theology, suicide, embodiment, female empowerment, abuse, domesticity, mysticism, ecology, love, loss, religion, inclusion, imperfection, spirituality, pain, deconstruction, self-love, and surrender. By the end, you’ll see yourself in a brave new light.
Award-winning poet Helen Mort calls it, “life-changing and affirming, alive to grief but full of defiance”. The comedy screen-writer Maggie Rowe describes Emily and her work as, “a miracle."
And you are part of this miracle - in fact, you are the miracle that this book is all about. These are the words that have watched over you since forever and the words that will walk along next to you as you continue your journey deep into the deafening Quiet.
Take my hand, let’s go there together.
