I wish I had discovered this poet, this collection sooner. She put words to feelings I’ve been holding for ages with no language available to express them. I am so grateful for this exploration into abuse and violence and the capability for righteous defiance to it through the continued act of love. I’ll be thinking about this for the rest of my life.

Moderate: Sexual assault, Sexual violence, and Transphobia

A fresh take on the parallels between Greek mythology and modern poetry, Trista Mateer has created a conversation between Aphrodite and herself, a queer poet. Balanced with lovely color illustrations and photo edits, this book is a loud, bold assertion of femininity and sexuality in the women's own words.
Many of the poems followed a similar, repetitive structure that after a while felt redundant. However, Mateer is skilled at creating an impact in few words, a successful skill for any true poet. I'm excited to read more of Mateer's work and see where her creativity and talent takes her.
