O knihe

Ode to a Goddess is a vulnerable journey through the formative years of a woman in search of her place in the world, in search of her place in love, and trying to discover what it means to exist in a modern world while clinging to ideas of mythical divinity. Part ekphrastic, part confessional, part witness, these poems play with form while building towards a larger narrative.

Readers who enjoy spoken word poetry, find memoir fascinating, and who enjoy reading epistolary novels, will be drawn to the casual and vulnerable voice of the speaker. This book, while definitely poetry, also works like a time capsule, capturing what it means to be a woman struggling through adolescence and all the pressures the world places on young women. It is an ode to survival and to learning to thrive beyond all of the emotional aches that come with growing up.

If you're a reader who feels confused by their place in the world, and is struggling as the world around them seems to have such a clear grasp on their purpose, this book might be for you. It's always affirming to find yourself in the pages of a book, like reading an old letter from a long lost friend.

Book includes: Illustrations by Daniel Dom & Dani Jarrin - & Photographs/Anthotypes by the Author, Christina Antonia
