Venus Anadyomene chronicles the trauma and change endured by a woman's body through pregnancy and childbirth, while exploring the intersection of mental and physical health. The poems in this book consider the threat of climate change, parenting and existing as a woman within the political landscape in Texas, and a mother's longing for a safer and more beautiful existence for her children. These poems play with form and voice, including prose poems, word games and prayers that evoke the visceral, the spiritual, and how we exist in between.
