Clockwise Cat Strikes Back

FEATURED FEMME:
SARAH FRANCES MORAN
Editor’s note: When we read Sarah Frances Moran’s submission that
contained “Bill Cosby Responds,” we knew we had hit gold with this unique versifier.
The poem, which should be viral verse by now, mingles humor recalling Cosby’s former
status as a fabled children’s icon with hard-hitting sarcasm about his malevolent
misogynistic misdeeds that have recently come to light. We decided that yes, she
WOULD be this issue’s Featured Femme - oh yes, she would. We also asked her to share
some of her photography, as she loves her some nature and some animals! So without
further ado, we present the verse and visuals of Sarah Frances Moran.
