Продолжаю рекомендовать книги. На этот раз - Никита Гилл и Рупи Каур (Rupi Kaur).
Обе пишут стихи о женщинах, любви и силе. И обе просто невероятно одарены. Творчество Никиты можно найти в ее блоге здесь или тупо по поиску гугла (например, в картинках) из книги Your soul is a river.
например«At the mention of the word “period”, I watch him pale and look away. At this I wonder, when did the world become such a place that men are embarrassed by the most natural function of a womb, when they had once called a womb home.»
- Nikita Gill, Period
«If your first question is “why the hell did she stay?” instead of “how the hell could he hit her?” then you are part of the problem that silences victims and protects their abusers.»
«If you have been brutally broken, but still have the courage to be gentle to others then you deserve a love deeper than the ocean itself.»
«‪We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains. 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we are all just stars that have people names.»

А у Рупи в 2014 году вышла замечательная книга Milk and Honey, еще и очень симпатично оформленная рисунками-набросками. А также в инстаграмме она выкладывает странички из этой и будущих книг.
некоторые из Milk and Honey«every time you
tell your daughter
you yell at her
out of love
you teach her to confuse
anger with kindness
which seems like a good idea
till she grows up to
trust men who hurt her
cause they look so much
like you»
- to fathers with daughters

«i want to apologize to all the women
i have called pretty
before i’ve called them intelligent or brave
i am sorry i made it sound as though
something as simple as what you’re born with
is the most you have to be proud of
when your spirit has crushed mountains
from now on i will say things like, you are resilient or you are extraordinary
not because i don’t think you’re pretty
but because you are so much more than that»
