The Female King is a bold collection of poetry which involves themes ranging from feminist to sensual. It also has a full chapter on disability issues from a very intimate perspective.
Excerpt
What shocks you about me
is not the raw metal throne
in which I sit
nor the silent of my feet
which refuse to speak
the language of the ground.
What shocks you about me
is the way normality unravels
from beneath my skirt
and gallops towards you
like a pack of wolves
tamed by your touch
but wild
to the abyss
of your fears.
