The Woman’s Part by Jo Gatford

My rating: 5/5

This is such a clever collection. With pared-back flash and erasure poetry, reading between the lines of Shakespeare plays has never been more engaging. Gatford muses on what could have been for a number of Shakespeare’s female characters in a way that gives them new freedom, but also fees entirely consistent with theire xisting personalities. A must-read for lovers of Shakespeare and flash alike.
