The Woman with Newspaper Shoes
The second poetry collection of Penny Perry
Santa Monica Disposal and Salvage
Praise from Marge Piercy: "Penny Perry's SANTA MONICA DISPOSAL & SALVAGE is a powerful and moving collection of poems that form a narrative of loss and survival. When the poet was only sixteen, her mother died suddenly and her father abandoned her. She had to take care of herself, cook, clean, learn everything she had been protected from – and she did. Her attitude is incredibly nonjudgmental in these poems rich in detail, grounded in a place and time. They are dense with specifics but flow in carefully crafted effortless-seeming narrative." Praise from Diane Wakoski: "I loved everything about Penny Perry's SANTA MONICA DISPOSAL & SALVAGE. The vivid details of place, period, people, the ri...

On the Edge of Empire
"On the Edge of Empire" is a well-written, carefully researched, and persuasively argued book that delineates the centrality of race and gender in the making of colonial and national identities, and in the re-writing of Canadian history as colonial history. Utilising feminist and post-colonial filters, Perry designs a case study of British Columbia. She draws on current work which aims to close the distance between 'home' and away in order to make her case about the commonalities and differences between circumstances in British Columbia and the kind of 'Anglo-American' culture that was increasingly dominant in North America, parts of the British Isles, and other white settler colonies. "On t...

History's Beauties
The 'beauties' - women of note - who were welcomed to the National Portrait Gallery's early collection were those whose lives and portraits were recognized as significant to the 'civil, ecclesiastical and literary history of the nation'. This brief was interpreted to include figures as diverse as the devout Lady Margaret Beaufort, and the entertaining Lady Emma Hamilton. History's Beauties, the first detailed study of this collection, maps a culture of femininity that reframes the Victorian fascination with women's domestic and sentimental presence by locating it within a Parliament-centred 'national' culture.
