Women in a Golden State includes poems by 175 California poets, our way to recognize 175 years of California Statehood. Officially arriving on Mothers’ Day, the collection is in stock and available now from Gunpowder Press.
Edited by Diana Raab and Chryss Yost, Women in a Golden State includes poems and micro-essays from women 60 and beyond, voices from across California, ranging from awarded Poets Laureate to emerging writers who are finding new forms of expression. The collection examines the mythology and reality of being a woman of a certain age, especially in youth-obsessed California, inviting its readers to reconsider aging not as an end, but as an ongoing journey—one filled with beauty, strength, and boundless possibilities.
