Nevertheless We Persisted

This powerful volume of life-affirming poetry and prose is narrated by a variety of feminist voices. As the narrators perform their own pieces and, at times, those written by others, the quality of the delivery remains constant. The variety of narrators works together as a sort of contemporary Greek chorus, encouraging listeners to give voice to their experiences of triumph and trauma. It's a volume you might want to start and stop at various places throughout the week. The sweetly somber tone of the works is especially suitable for a morning walk or an evening soak in the tub. For those in need of an uplifting listen, this will become a fast favorite. M.R. � AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine


An extensive cast of writers and narrators join together to perform this collection of heartrending essays and poetry created by survivors of sexual assault and abuse. With original music by Amanda Rose Smith, a wave of acceptance and love resonates in the chorus of voices united with the message that victims are not alone and their pain is valid and important. Some pieces are performed by their authors, commanding the listener's attention as they share their fear, pain, anger, and sadness. Other pieces are depicted by professional narrators delivering sincere, visceral performances. This mix of performances, filled with candor and authenticity, inspires listeners to join the chorus of voices that are demanding change. A.K.R.
