Mythopoetic reflections from a contemporary Persephone.
Persephone & Me is an inspiring collection of women’s poetry by author Corinne Desjardins. The book focuses a lot on women’s issues and on the quest to find one’s own self, one’s deeper, inner self. I loved the poems in this collection – they’re all quality work, and a pleasure to read. I would recommend this collection to all poetry fans.
Poetry is a favorite genre, there is so much passion and feeling in it. Books don’t always retain that for a whole novel but at times you find one. I just read Magdala by Valerie Gross, I am not overly religious but this book stuck with me. In ways that Poetry does at times.
