This book and Trista Mateer’s poetry was everything I needed right now!!!

The poems are so light, yet meaningful. They explore such difficult themes but they are empowering at the same time.

I really enjoyed the idea to place a Greek goddess (the other collections in this series also do this with Artemis and Aphrodite) as the main character and to write the poems from her point of view and through her experiences, which are often those of other people all around the world.

Also, the artwork in this book is stunning and I felt really inspired to make more collages myself and mix them with poetry 😍

Definitely give this one a chance and while you’re at it discover the lovely poetry of the other collections in this series, just like I did!!!

Thank you to @netgalley and @centavebooks for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
