Another thoughtful collection of poetry by Trista Mateer. I was both heartbroken and inspired while reading these poems; it was all beautifully written from Aphrodite’s and the poet’s perspectives. Reading Mateer’s poetry is like climbing into an open heart and feeling every emotion ever more intensely than before. Mateer’s poems have you thinking about it for months afterwards and you’ll catch yourself feeling a wide spectrum of emotions as you recall how it first felt to read the poem that felt like it was pulled from the deep crevices of your own heart.
