"A new poetry collection that takes readers among 'the unsilent women', from Hipparchia to J. K. Rowling. 'Women who speak have always been monstrous. That twisty sphinx, those tempting sirens; better plug your ears with wax, boys. 'Where are the female philosophers? Why are women silenced? Who can tell us how to live? In her fourth collection of poetry, Helen Rickerby takes readers on a journey into women's writing, a quest for philosophical answers, and an investigation of poetic form. The poems in How to Live engage in a conversation with 'the unsilent women' - Hipparchia and George Eliot, Ban Zhao and Mary Shelley. They do so in order to explore philosophical and practical questions: how one could or should live a good life, how to be happy, how to not die, how to live. This 2019 Auckland University Press Paperback is in very good condition.
