Beschreibung
In this lyrical collection, the myth of Persephone is cracked open and retold from the inside out, through the eyes of Persephone, Demeter, Hades and the poet herself. These poems speak not of abduction, but of agency. Not of silence, but of voice.
Blending ancient myth with modern femininity, "Pomegranate Seeds and Misdeeds" is a reclamation of power and a conversation between Persephone and every woman who's ever been told to stay soft, to stay small, to stay silent.
"Oh sweet Persephone,
Even mortal women must break from
their mothers to become something new.
So when you peeled that pomegranate
and ate its seeds, did it taste of freedom?
Did the darkness offer you something
that springtime and light never could?
The gods always pegged you as one thing,
but not him. He recognized the duality
within you. He saw you and saw a queen.
I hear the nymphs cried for you and asked
if you were afraid. I hear thorns grew at
your feet and when your ichor bled into
the Underworld, you warned the Gods
against a woman's contradictions and said,
it is me they should fear."
