Truth is a Woman by Loren Jakobov

Born of tragedy, anger, and a refusal to surrender, poet Loren Jakobov delivers a timely and powerful collection with Truth is a Woman. Varying widely in both form and subject, and boasting experimental styles, these pieces are a testament to the women who have historically been silenced, and the terrible injustices that persist to this day. Some poems do come across as diatribes in verse, but most of Jakobov’s poetry lands heavily. A tribute to those who have suffered most, this is not a lighthearted collection, but it is torn from the pages of reality, encasing universal messages and painful reminders that feel more important now than ever.
