Conversations with Good Men

Conversations with Good Men, Bethel Swift's debut chapbook, witnesses a feminist’s awakening while grappling to better understand her upbringing, beliefs, desires, place, and sense of self-worth following the trauma of betrayal. Through real and imagined dialogue between the feminine and the masculine, these poems invite the reader on a three-act journey exploring the spiritual and practical complexity of being in relationship with family, faith, lovers, friends, and one's self - all the while learning to love, lose, and become open to loving again.
