Poetry and Essays
 
Pre-order: Shipped to arrive on publication day 7th July 2026
 
The Rebecca Swift Foundation and Fly on the Wall Press have joined forces to invite submissions for a powerful new anthology celebrating the complexity, resilience, and creativity of women’s lives today. Curated by acclaimed poet and critic Jennifer Wong, the anthology will feature poetry and creative non-fiction by twelve UK-based women poets, from emerging voices to established names.
 
To live as a woman is so often a political act. This powerful anthology maps the journey of becoming a woman — the joys, the pain, and the defining moments that shape us. From girlhood to ageing, twelve distinctive writers speak honestly to what it means to be seen in our own voices, on our own terms. 'Woman, Mapped' reflects the breadth of lived experience across identities, cultures, and generations.
