Through powerful, sensitive verse written from a feminist standpoint, Sappho Wept explores the personal, universal and emotional struggles faced by women. It invites readers on a profound journey that encourages introspection and empathy, calling for all voices to be heard and valued.
Wendy J. Dunn's debut poetry collection draws on the legacy of Sappho to give voice to women's experiences across time, weaving lyrical reflections on identity, loss, resilience, and connection. The poems move between the intimate and the universal, offering space for readers to recognise their own stories within a wider chorus of women's lives.
Written with clarity and emotional depth, Sappho Wept speaks to anyone seeking poetry that honours women's inner worlds and calls for greater understanding and equality. It is a collection for readers of contemporary feminist poetry, Australian verse, and lyrical explorations of the human heart.
