Reviews
This collection sparks with poems that are bright and fierce—comets cutting through the mundane.
Bhargavi C. Mandava, Where the Oceans Meet
Bella Mahaya Carter's insightful journey into womanhood made me blush, laugh, cry and cackle like a joyful witch. In the end, this authentic and daring collection left me feeling grateful I was born female. It should be mandatory reading not just for our sisters and daughters, but more importantly, for our husbands and our sons.
Maureen Muldoon (writer/director), Booby Trap
