Every time I read a volume of her poetry I think I have found my favorite and then I read the next one. But I did dog-ear nearly every other page in this book. The retelling of fairytales and the goddesses were particularly enjoyable. Alice in wonderland and Athena were my favorites.

I think k the only thing that sometimes fatigued me is the encouragement of a woman who has experienced trauma to give as good as she got. And I sometimes wish it was more of a refusal to perpetuate that abuse. A different force than becoming a war, an army, or a battlefield.

Solidly OK. The kind of book that I might have gotten into as a sensitive teenager, with the cosmic ideas and imagery drawing me in and the subverted fairytale princess trope keeping me hanging around to the end, but the adult I am now wanted something a bit less self-care self aware and more challenging.

This is simple stuff, even if the themes aren't and I found it too light for my taste. Poetry is always a hard one to judge- it either resonates with you or it doesn't. This collection didn't.
