A fantastic, well-rounded collection of poetry, made all the more vibrant by the colorful art. The art was such a delightful accompaniment that I'm now convinced all poetry books should be accessorized with art. It enhanced the whole sensory experience. 


As for the actual poems, there are a great variety. There are pieces about historical figures, fantasy pieces, poems about astronomy, cats, etc. My favorites happened to be two poems about the stars, which I went back and reread multiple times, letting them thrill and delight me. 


If you're looking for something not overly esoteric, with a broad range of subject matter that ultimately celebrates women and nature, this is a perfect choice.
