What does it take for a girl to get ready for the world, and is it ever possible to go back? Ready for the World is a book of poems, spells, performance scripts, and feminist fairytales that derives its magic from tarot and astrology, feminist artist foremothers, and virtual and IRL covens. In her update of the lyric “ I” for the digital age, Klaver claims for poetry the trivialized tones of femininity, unwilling to give up on the possibility of an outside to patriarchy as she loops around in cyclical time to access a spirit of magic, play, friendship, and artmaking. Written in the years Klaver was collaborating on feminist writing, performance, ritual, and activism, Ready for the World explores how alternative practices and communities conjure other ways of being.

Becca Klaver is the author of the poetry collections LA Liminal (Kore, 2010), Empire Wasted (Bloof, 2016), and Ready for the World (Black Lawrence, 2020), as well as several chapbooks. Her most recent projects include the 32-poet collaboration Midwinter Constellation (Black Lawrence) and the chapbook of postcard poems Greetings from Bowling Green (The Magnificent Field). As an editor, she co-founded Switchback Books, is currently co-editing the anthology Electric Gurlesque (Saturnalia Books), and has created pop-up projects such as Women Poets Wearing Sweatpants. She lives in Iowa City, where she works as Program Manager of the Iowa Summer Writing Festival.
