Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Wendy Allen's Portrait in Mustard celebrates sex and pleasure, whilst registering the risks of intimacy for straight women in a world where men's pleasure often comes first. Via the unabashed tones of mustard yellow and metaphors of fruit and art, Allen's poems create a manifesto for women's independence, autonomy and joy.
