She is the Seasons: poems in honour of cyclical flowing is an ode to cyclical wisdom - the menstrual cycle, the seasonal cycles and the life cycles of a woman.
Divided into four sections - Maiden, Mother, Enchantress and Crone, this collection of poems explores all aspects of life and nature as a journey through menstruation and ageing as a rite of passage.
She is the Seasons is a celebration of womanhood and a reminder that we are one with nature. Each poem invites you to reflect, laugh, and cry, connecting deeply with the shared experiences of women across generations.
If you enjoy reading relatable, grounded poetry that honours women and celebrates their journey, this book is for you!
I am impressed with her emotional language, her distinct and eloquent style, her interesting construction, her quirky sense of humour ( eg “Pimple, the sacred sword fight continues, joust on!" ) and her ability to capture in a sparsity of words, the very essence of her life. This is an inspiring, optimistic and peaceful collection which celebrates Anna's dedication to valuing women from all cycles and ages. It exudes love.
These poems with their emphasis on the wisdom of the cycles have triggered spontaneous laughs and many heartfelt and compassionate tears. Rarely have I been so moved by modern poetry.
"Stardust, Sprinkle it everywhere and call it business."
