For Soldiers and Sailors Alike: Poems on the Familiar Wars of Womanhood

Carefully crafted to be both a requiem for and a celebration of the unique gifts and injuries of womanhood, For Soldiers and Sailors Alike is requisite poetry for our modern world. Murgatroyd Monaghan walks hand in hand with readers as they embark on a tour of combat that is at times painful, at times beautiful, and yet always hauntingly familiar. Using both traditional and contemporary forms of poetry, Monaghan opens readers' wounds alongside her own and then sews them back together again, ultimately stitching a literary patchwork that is as diverse and united as women are themselves. Each poem is a voice that refuses to relent, despite battlefields and oceans, as it decorates women for their unique forms of bravery. In the pages of this book, readers of all genders, backgrounds, and ages will be inspired to reclaim and view their own personal story in a more empowering way than they have ever been guided to see it before.
