Both a collection of poetry and a queer, feminist, manifesto; Virago is the second poetry book by Fleassy Malay.
Fleassy beautifully navigates the complex and nuanced landscape that is both the deeply personal and the innately political experience of being a woman.
As a collection of poetry, it offers a reflective and vulnerable insight into love, sex, mental health, grief and motherhood. As a manifesto, it is a fierce call to action for women, a reclamation of courage and vulnerability as strength, and a beacon of light in the darkness of a system that often forgets and silences so many.
