A Woman's Song, her new poetry collection brings a poetic reflection on what it is to be a woman in the world today. Her uncensored words are raw and real with her kick to the gut style expressing her passion and a story of survival. May-Waldman shamelessly writes about the unfortunate challenges in the lives of women: rape, violence, inequality and dealing with relationships that are often unbalanced. The collection reflect the contradictions of a woman's song--the hate, love , lust and anguish, the bitterness and the softness that are all dimensions of being and surviving as a woman. This book will disturb you, shock you and truly amaze you.
