Milk for Gall

By Natalie Louise Tombasco

Winner of the 2023 Michael Waters Poetry Prize

Set in a kingdom populated with Shitshow Barbie, the Queens of Mean and Sourpuss, and a Lolita Army, Milk for Gall is a postmodern feminist epic that challenges patriarchal contradictions. The collection creates a protean landscape that opens with a primordial sigh and descends realm after realm, self after self, questioning passed-down constructions of womanhood while cultivating a nomenclature all its own: nimble, lush, rhythmic verse that liberates itself from the male gaze.
