Wow. Everyone needs to read this for reasons only they know. I needed this because I needed a hand to help me up because I could barely stand. This book will ignite the hope and strength and bravery in your soul and it will help you understand yourself and the universe a little bit better. I loved the words and the illustrations, this type of mixed media poetry it new to me and I really liked it! This book is inspiring beautiful in a way that would make Aphrodite proud.

This is an amazing piece of feminist poetry. I loved how the overall theme of woman, girl, other is transposed and woven through the entire collection that make one evaluate the histories told to us growing up and who the true narrators have been this entire time.

Now going to go buy this and/or recommend to all my friends who can relate.

I have always shied away from poetry because I am such an avid lover of fiction, but this, this book hit me in places I was not expecting to be hit. It covers the difficulty of being queer, it covers gender, trauma, and other hard hitting subjects in a perfect way. I thank the author for sharing her beautiful art with us.
