“You want to talk about duality? You want to talk about love? Let us speak instead of chaos.”
This mythical approach to self-care weaves together bits of mythology, tarot, poetry, and conversation to tell a new side of a very old story. Alternating between the perspectives of the poet and the goddess herself, Persephone’s lore is explored, related to modern issues, and ultimately reclaimed.
In this new collection of art and feminist verse from Trista Mateer, Persephone might have flowers in her hair—but she is out for blood.
Trista Mateer is the award-winning and bestselling author of multiple poetry collections including The Myth & Magick series and Honeybee. She is a passionate mental health advocate, currently writing in South Carolina. Connect with her on Instagram and Tiktok @tristamateer or at tristamateer.com.
