Maria Ferguson Bücher

Maria Ferguson explores what it's like to be an Essex Girl through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old girl growing up in '00s Brentwood.

Alright, girl? is a collection of poems centred around being ok. It focuses on working class culture, gender stereotypes, body image, femininity, mental health, recovery and celebration.

Exploring the intricate journey of new motherhood, this poetry collection captures the emotional landscape of pregnancy, miscarriage, and birth. Through vivid imagery and personal reflection, the poet navigates her evolving identity while longing for her mother's support. With a blend of humor and poignancy, the poems address themes of loss, recovery, and empowerment, inviting readers to engage in a quest for self-acceptance and stability amid life's uncertainties. Ferguson's work resonates with authenticity, portraying both the weight and joy of family life.

Blending theatre, storytelling and killer moves, spoken word artist Maria Ferguson explores her relationship with the F-word (food) with the help of her first love (dance). Fat Girls Don't Dance takes us in to the world of performance, where three meals a day is up for compromise and skinny sells well. NB: There will be cake
