/Hypatia Publications signs new collection of Prose-Poetry by Natasha Carthew | Press release
Hypatia Publications are thrilled to announce that they will be publishing a new collection of Prose-Poetry by the Cornish Working Class Writer Natasha Carthew set to publish April 2021.
Billed as an interconnecting collection of stories that address the challenges both past and present that relate to rural Working Class Women, these stories will be vital in their truthful re-telling of this lost corner of diversity. All poems in this collection will be based on lived experience and founded on accurate accounts that mirror each other in the way that Working Class Women have been ignored throughout history.
‘I’m delighted that Hypatia Publications have agreed to publish this ambitious collection; their commitment to the documentation and celebration of women’s achievements is second to none.
After a career of writing Literary Fiction, it’s great to be back working on such an exciting project that celebrates working class women through knowledge and empowerment.
I want to address the challenges that relate to working class women from a low-wage ‘work’ perspective, including childcare, harassment and issues that surround the gender pay gap. I’m interested in the women who are still trying to scratch out a living as cleaners, care assistants, farm and factory workers, laundry workers and housemaids.’
Natasha, who is Artistic Director of The Working Class Writers Festival, has two previous collections of Poetry Published; this will be her first full collection in eighteen years. Her Fiction is published by both Quercus and Bloomsbury.
Hypatia Publications is a Cornwall based small press celebrating female authors of literary fiction, poetry and non-fiction with fresh, literary and original voices and is an imprint of Hypatia Trust.
