Alright, Girl? Summary

Alright, Girl? by Maria Ferguson

Alright, Girl? is an extremely personal yet relatable exploration of class, gender and belonging. Full of heart and humour, these poems chart the almost impossible task of living and surviving in an age of austerity and gentrification. Through the comfort of old man pubs, the heartbreak of loss, the search for love and the wonder of female friendship, Maria Ferguson paints a true picture of what it means to be a woman in modern society.

Alright, Girl? Reviews

Flawless. An essential read for the 2020s. - Salena Godden; 'This is poetry written on the back of betting slips and in the spill of beer on a bar top, on creased bed sheets and underneath early morning eyes. Ferguson is a poet for the people, washing her dirty poems in public and holding your eye as she does so. We need more voices like hers, democratic and challenging. Clever, funny, frank and uncompromising. A warrior.' - Joelle Taylor
