"We are killjoys, painting portraits
of tulips in full-bodied growth,
when you ask to see us naked
we hand you an album of flowers."
By turns tender and intimate, forthright and unabashed, the lustful feminist killjoys explore inclusivity, equality and identity to combat imposter syndrome and patriarchy.
An eloquent collection about desire and loss from the founders of Stirred feminist collective.
Anna Percy was born and educated in Norwich and has been writing for performance and publication since 2004. She is currently studying for her Creative Writing PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University, with a creative critical project in Environmental Poetry.
Rebecca Audra Smith comes from Gloucestershire, but enjoys being an honorary Mancunian. In 2015 she competed in the Anti Slam Final Heat representing Manchester, and the Superheroes of Slam final. Rebecca studied for her Masters in Creative Writing: Poetry at Manchester Metropolitan University.
In 2010 Anna and Becca co-founded Stirred, Manchester's influential pro-feminist collective which organises poetry performances and writing workshops.
