A Surrealist, Allegorical collection of semi-autobiographical poems, prose, and essays written by the author between 2014-2019. Pieces that viscerally and beautifully detail survivor's guilt, seduction and abuse, Motherwit, child loss and innocence lost along a journey towards Self Love. Riddled with Archetypes from mythology and scripture, populated by Goddesses, Night Hags, brujas, and women's Shadows. As evocative as a Butoh dance and as non-linear as a Fever dream. A work that celebrates the traumas survived by women-- and the Empresses, like Phoenixes, given Beauty for Ashes they are Reborn from.
