I don't like reviewing poetry that is so clearly personal and utilized as personal reflection and healing. 

Was this good? Yes. 

Was it emotional and inspiring, and did it make me nod along and raise my eyebrows, and even get teary eyed? Yes.

But do I think this was revolutionary, or even saying anything new? No. It isn't.

I just came here to have a good time but I feel called out. This book was somehow written at me but also about me but also in my point of view but also by someone who has no idea who I am. That's how much I related to this book. Now this. This is one of the best poetry books I've read in a while. 10000% deserves the 5 stars I'm giving it.

I love queer feminist poetry. This had cute little poems including some interesting things about Aphrodite. I also liked the pictures in it, I feel like they really added to the work.
