Today’s featured poet is the marvelous woman who brought The Milk of Female Kindness to the light of day; the anthology was her brainchild.
Kasia James writes primarily speculative fiction but has started to wonder if it is her mission in life to complete books in as many different genres as possible. She is the author of The Artemis Effect, which is an optimist’s science-fiction dystopia, and was contributing editor of The Milk of Female Kindness — An Anthology of Honest Motherhood.
She lives in Melbourne, Australia, with a hydrologist, an ankle-biter, and a big black cat called George. Enjoy her blog here.

Thanks, Sabrina, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂 I often host a poem contest of some sort for April, but since I’d just finished one, I thought this would be better, and honestly, I think I’m enjoying this so much I might make it a tradition!

Poetry fits really well on blogs. It can boil down complex ideas into small spaces and seeing the breadth of it in a concentrated time span is very engaging.
