Power Point: Poems by Jane Muschenetz
Sheila-Na-Gig Editions, April 2024
Power Point is a groundbreaking collection of feminist poetry by Jane Muschenetz, including Best of the Net nominated, “100% Mom” (Whale Road Review), Pushcart nominated, “Failure to Thrive” (Meat for Tea), and several genre/discipline bending poems that intersect economics, science, popular art, and literature. Too often, women and change-makers are dismissed as “hysterical, emotion-driven, irrational.” Power Point turns this notion on its head, presenting meticulously researched “data poems” to make the case for a more compassionate world. Blending traditional and hybrid formats, Muschenetz exposes the status quo as a malleable and subjective reality that can and must be questioned and improved. Muschenetz, an MIT trained Business Strategy Consultant, used Microsoft PowerPoint™ software to create several of the ‘pointed’ poems about ‘power’ dynamics in this collection.
