    Feminist Resource Feature: Minerva Rising

    September 23, 2014

    Nicole Rollender

    I discovered Minerva Rising Literary Journal while browsing Duotrope.com, looking for new feminist literary journals that could be a good home for my poems. What drew me to the journal was its mission of creating a welcoming space (in print and online) for everywoman to be creative.

    September 16, 2014

    Sarah Marcus

    Sarah Marcus: You’ve said that you left Soft Skull Press and began your own press, Bloof Books, so that you could focus on poetry. Can you tell us about the history of the press?

    Ann Leckie
    Ancillary Justice
    Orbit Books, 2013
    Paperback, $15.00
    416 pages

     

    Space opera. A place where you can easily slip into writing more male heroes with maybe one female tag-along who ends up being cool.

     

    In her multiple award-winning debut novel Ancillary Justice, first of a planned trilogy, Ann Leckie shows readers that she isn’t interested in the easy way. Her narrator Breq, later revealed to be a “segment” of a larger AI consciousness that was destroyed twenty years ago, shows us w...
