Efflorescence is a collection of feminist poetry that explores toxic masculinity, intersectionality, and what it's like to grow up as a woman. At their core, these poems evoke the true nature of feminism—instead of female dominance, an equality regardless of sex, with recognition that gender roles uniformly hurt both men and women. With each rhymed line and each powerful story, poet Zoe Spoor invites readers to gain a new perspective.

In Efflorescence, you'll read poems such as...

  • "Boys Can Cry," exploring boys' socialization and how gender-based behaviors can be toxic for young men
  • "Misrepresentation," the story of one woman affected by unrealistic beauty standards to the point of harming herself
  • "Granulated," from the perspective of a girl struggling with the physical and emotional pain of anorexia nervosa

  • Inclusivity and intersectionality are at the forefront of this collection, and readers are sure to see themselves represented in these poems. If you're ready to feel empowered to break free from restrictive societal rules, Efflorescence is for you.
