Goddess Bandit of the Thousand Arms

Description

Women with knives and loves travel through time and space in Goddess Bandit of the Thousand Arms , the first full-length collection of Hal Y. Zhang. In personal, lingering poems and a short story, Goddess Bandit details the ways—fantasy, escape, insurrection, deification, transcendence—women and often unheard voices can overcome oppression and become bright lights against the darkness. Hal Y. Zhang is a lapsed physicist who splits her time between the east coast of the United States and the Internet. Her speculative poetry and prose have appeared in venues such as Uncanny, Strange Horizons , and Liminality , and have been nominated for Rhysling and Best of the Net awards. Her science fiction chapbook Hard Mother, Spider Mother, Soft Mother was published by Radix Media, and her language-and-loss chapbook AMNESIA was published by the Newfound Emerging Poets Series.
