More Description"Woman's Work" is a bold risque collection of poems that explain with intricate detail on what it is like to be a black woman feminist in today's contrived climate. Author and feminist Kenia Burke (better known as Poet Kaybee Mapes featured in Rigorous Magazine, Midnight & Indigo, the Santa Fe Writer's Project, and the 2019's Palm Beach Poetry Festival finalist) tackles every subject from postpartum depression, to ignorant co-workers leaving no stone unturned or thought left unsaid. "Woman's Work" was written with every influential modern day working class woman Mape's encounters on a daily basis, from friends to family and everyone in-between, each poem is designed to identify with many working women, highlighting the contributions women bring to the world despite the many oppressions they face on a day to day basis. "Woman's Work" is relatable, identifiable, and outright realistic. The debut collection is timely, fresh, and far from easy to forget shining light on the women of the present, paying homage to the women of the past, and planting seeds of hope for all women in the future "Woman's Work" is a MUST READ."We make monthly blood sacrifices in exchange to rule the world. Don't you forget it."-Kaybee Mapes "Overall every piece invoked deep-seated emotions within me and were both POWERFUL and thought provoking in their own right. Each poem strikes at least a few cords, some hit very impactfully and left me "OOF!" out loud. There were many connectors for me- race, motherhood, womanhood. The work here was very real and very RAW." - Andreanna Warlow
