Petroleuse by Steph Pike
Challenging oppression with objectivity and prejudice with passion, feminist activist and poet Steph Pike confronts the politics of social, economic and gender inequality with a viscerally charged and indisputable truth. Includes a Foreword by Rosie Garland. Adult poetry / LGBTQ+ "Seawater floods the city streets, petrol and sweat scent the air. This is salty back-pocket semaphore, full of fury and love, for all those in need of hope." - Michelle Green, author of Jebel Marra [Comma Press] "Steph Pike's poems are like that one person at the party you know you can have a real conversation with." - Helen Mort, Derbyshire Poet Laureate "An invitation to the voiceless to know they, too, can speak." - Rebecca Bilkau, Beautiful Dragons Press "Steph Pike is indeed a pétroleuse of furious, exquisite, necessary language: setting fires of declamation for those stripped of their voice and unmasking patriarchy's creeping dystopian gaze by poking it eloquently in the eye." - Lucy Lepchani, poet, writer & educator
A feminist socialist activist, Steph Pike performs regularly across the country, including at many left-wing and feminist demos and rallies. She organises guerrilla poetry protests, is a committee member of Manchester People's Assembly (part of the national movement against cuts and austerity), and is passionate about the personal and political transformative power of poetry.
