Sinopsis

Poet Melinda Smith and artist Caren Florance are backáwith another excursion into the linguistic and visualpleasures of found text, a joint practice which broughtáus 2017&rsquo,s Members Only. With this book, Listen, bitch,they turn their attention to misogynist language, workingáwith a corpus of several decades&rsquo, worth ofá statements byápowerful Australian public figures (and other blokes withábig platforms). By listening very closely to the snarlings ofáwhat Kate Manne calls the law enforcement branch of theápatriarchy, these poems attempt to map the lines womenáare still not supposed to cross in contemporary Australia,áand to document the consequences suffered when theyádo. The results are sometimes harrowing, sometimesáridiculous, and always thought-provoking.
