 An exploration of womanhood and the female body through poetry, using sensual language and imagery. Some of the images worked very well for me, while others were more of a miss (but that's a matter of personal taste). The language flows and weaves well for the most part, though every now and then, too many metaphors were combined or there was a jarring shift in imagery. On the whole, I enjoyed this collection and would recommend it.
