We recently started this book in my #Fable book club, Poetry for Poets. I've read it before and love it and had been inspired by it, so I wanted to share. Then I came back across this poem. I may not always feel this way, but it let's me have peace when I do.

BkClubCare Ty, I needed this right now. 9mo

I love Amanda Lovelace.
Another excellent collection of poetry. This one didn‘t feel as wow as previous collections that may have just been me.
I love that she dedicates the book to Persephone.

Lovelace's poetry always speaks to my heart, and this collection was no different! I stand a bit taller; hold my head a little higher. ?

“if every other girl is queen anne's lace,
then i'm poison hemlock.

at first glance,
we look exactly the same,

until someone gets too close“

“i am the water.
i am the wine.
i am the very magic that turns one into the other.
meanwhile, he isn‘t shit.
why would I bother with someone who simply cannot compare?”

Sallyconroy @KelsiTaylor I‘ve noticed a lot of the books you & your sisters post have beautiful covers. 3y

This felt like a quicker read then previous works, yet they feel more raw and powerful. Amanda‘s poems here alternate between flowers in a gentle soft hue to a fiery burning power. As she stated ahead, this is for Persephone; goddess of spring and the underworld. This book is about reminding us how women can be soft and fierce unapologetically. And I want to be known as both soft and fierce. This poem is me; with my heart on my sleeve

At times, the absolute bare bones of Lovelace‘s word choice can seem overly simplistic, but I think that adds to the rawness & vulnerability that we see. These poems are brief, yet biting.

I loved the illustrations included. They are brightly colored & juxtaposed with the darker content of some of the poems echoes the dichotomy of Persephone of the Spring and of the Underworld. Although these poems did feel slightly more disconnected. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

What an absolutely stunning set of poems! Talk about female empowerment. Amanda Lovelace is such an excellent writer and her words really speak to me. These books should be mandatory for girls growing up to teach them self love, the importance of saying no, and that strength comes from within and not social media.

rather_be_reading love her work! 3y
