Alright, Girl? by Maria Ferguson
Alright, girl? is a collection of poems centred around being ok. It focuses on working class culture, gender stereotypes, body image, femininity, mental health, recovery and celebration.
‘FlawlessAn essential read for the 2020s.’ - Salena Godden; 'This is poetry written on the back of betting slips and in the spill of beer on a bar top, on creased bed sheets and underneath early morning eyes. Ferguson is a poet for the people, washing her dirty poems in public and holding your eye as she does so. We need more voices like hers, democratic and challenging. Clever, funny, frank and uncompromising. A warrior.' - Joelle Taylor
