The She Melanie Flores

The She: An Exposé is the angst of the waking post-modernist Poet in a truthtelling, a walk through the megopolis into the New Age Renaissance Republique of Poetry from the emerging Poet Melanie Flores. A neo-feminist protest that tells stories about her life in poetry narratives, switching from the third to the first person, and back again, her poetry is a celebration of being and becoming in hard spaces. Themes include her mother's death, the death of a stillborn daughter, a requiem, the birth of a baby, the death of an old man, labels, societal expectations, war, a neighbour, childhood, freedom, she explores difficult terrain with the voice of a wise child. An exciting Summertime read, poetry candy, a Subterranean Blue Poetry Chapbook Imprint, The She: An Exposé by Melanie Flores. Toronto-born Melanie Flores divides her time between working as an audiobook narrator and editor/writer/proofreader and writing poetry and short prose. Melanie has been a contest winner in several national poetry competitions, including a 1st place award for "Final Moments" in Polar Expressions' 2017 National Poetry Contest. Melanie's poetry has appeared in "Fresh Voices", the FemCaucus newsletter, "The Prairie Journal" and is slated to appear in upcoming international and national anthologies.
