Here is also rage and sorrow; at the limitations and restrictions of a woman’s given role and taken rights; at the expectations heaped upon the female form and spirit; of the false representations used to define womanhood and thus control it.This collection is based around mythology and is also about strength, empowerment and self-appreciation. The poems here combine to make a feminist manifesto that inspires strength, courage, pride, and a negation of all society deems a woman's body to be and all the multitudes it actually contains. With fantastic chemistry between the two protagonists (who I knew I would be rooting for from their first meeting! I particularly enjoyed one of her poems about men writing stories and not capturing history in the way Aphrodite might have liked which left more to the imagination.

The long-awaited second instalment in Samantha Shannon's Sunday Times and New York Times-bestselling series Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. Bestselling and award-winning author Trista Mateer takes an imaginative approach to self-care in this new poetry and prose collection, Aphrodite Made Me Do It . aphrodite then (as the feminist, lgbt icon she is) explains the power of love and forgiveness to our narrator.

This is definitely a different style of poetry, I’d highly recommend having a look at the images within and seeing if they are to your taste before investing in them because they can be off-putting.
