Resilient Voices, No. 1 - International Women* Space

More than a poetry collection — Resilient Voices Vol. 1 is a powerful act of remembrance and resistance. Born from the margins and pulsing with truth, each poem is a survival strategy, a political statement, and an intimate offering. From mangoes to menstruation, exile to embodiment, longing to liberation — the pages bleed, bloom, ache, and remember. These are not just poems; they are documents of defiance against state violence, colonial erasure, and enforced invisibility.

Created by the queer working group Resilient Voices within International Women* Space, this collection emerged from a series of electrifying Poetry Slam Nights at OYA Bar in Berlin — a sanctuary for radical storytelling, vulnerability, and collective power.

Whether whispered in dim corners or shouted with righteous fury, the words in this volume carry ancestral memory, queer desire, sensuality, rage, and tenderness. They are declarations: We were here. We are still.
