conveyor belt: a poetry chapbook

By Sara Popkin

A poetry chapbook about struggling to fit in within a society that ostracizes those that are different, these poems tell a coming-of-age story that delves into themes including the social conditioning of women, consumerism, and conformity.

Through the voice of a lesbian poet, the societal values that seek to exclude certain groups are critiqued. Amidst the realistic portrayal of the harsh, unfair rules that govern what is seen as acceptable, these poems provide comfort for anyone that has felt like an outcast. This book is for those that chose to live as their authentic selves despite the risks. These pieces resonate with anyone who feels like a piece for a different puzzle.

This chapbook is relatable, genuine, and thought-provoking. It is feminist, queer, and unabashedly in favor of LGBTQ+ rights, women's liberation, and equality for all marginalized identities. While focused on issues pertinent to LGBTQ+ issues, lesbian issues, women's issues and the entanglement between gender-based and sexuality-based oppression, interpretations of this poetry can extend beyond that. The poems in this book evokes raw emotion, perfect for fans of Emily Dickinson, Sappho, or Audre Lorde. The journey these poems take you through is gripping and engaging, and will leave you in the spirit of self-reflection.
