Utterly lovely. Tiresias’s myth is incredible and it was tackled brilliantly in this book. I don’t often read poetry with metre and rhyme anymore, but wow this blew me away.

This collection of poems tells the tale of Tiresias, when he was punished and became a woman for years.
The poet brilliantly talks about her stories through out the tale. Although I'm not a big fan of the myths, but the poems are brilliant and powerful.
Some quotes I liked:
“How many yous will you carry,
Weeping and desperate to marry?
How many yous will you churn out?
Turn out the light for the night.
She has burned out but she’ll be alright.
She is coming up.
Child of her time.”
"And you've got a soul worth living for"
"The worst thing that can happen to words is that they go unsaid"
