Why God Is a Woman

Why God Is a Woman

By Nin Andrews Poetry 18/05/2015

Why God Is a Woman is a collection of poems written about a magical island where women rule and men are the second sex. It is also the story of a boy who, exiled from the island because he could not abide by its sexist laws, looks back with both nostalgia and bitterness and wonders: Why does God have to be a woman? Celebrated prose poet Nin Andrews creates a world both fantastic and familiar where all the myths, logic, and institutions support the dominance of women.

Nin Andrews's books include The Book of Orgasms and Sleeping with Houdini.
