Visiting the Minotaur

While some of the references to Greek Mythology went over my head, this collection inspired me to become more well read with Greek Mythology. However the poems centred around the autobiographical aspects of being a mother and grief were really powerful and beautiful and I emotionally connected with these pieces of poetry. While some of these poems were published in separate magazines at different times, these poems really meshed well together as a collection. My favourite poems were Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide, My Brother and Mother as Horses, Unimagined Mother, Brizzle and Bill. The poems centred around grief and identity simply blew me away and allowed me to really connect with poetry and made me so eager to re-read this collection and explore more poetry going forward. I would recommend this collection to any fans of Greek Mythology and poetry. There are some simply gorgeous poems within this collection.
