Aphrodite Made Me Do It: Myth and Magick
Autor Trista Mateeren Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2019
In this empowering and feminist retelling, Mateer transforms the mythology of the goddess into 224 pages of modern poetry and full-color artwork. Broken into sections alternating between the perspective of The Poet and Aphrodite herself, the work within tackles the timeless topic of love--romantic, platonic, and self-love. The collection addresses issues like heartbreak, sexuality, womanhood, trauma, and the restorative power in taking control of your own lore, speaking your truths, and rewriting your origin story. If you let her, by the end of this book, Aphrodite will make you believe in the possibility of your own healing.
"If you were only made to be beautiful, we wouldn't have put you down here in the dirt."Perfect for fans of Amanda Lovelace, Nikita Gill, Rupi Kaur, Elizabeth Acevedo, Rick Riordan, and Madeline Miller; or anyone interested in Greek myths, tarot, and Instagram poetry.
This is the first book in the Myth & Magick series, which also includes Artemis Made Me Do It and Persephone Made Me Do It.

Recenzii
“Fierce, magical, and empowering.”—Amanda Lovelace, author of the princess saves herself in this one
“Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a gentle scream from outside of your window. It is a reminder that it’s okay to let the light come in, but only when you are ready. You will find grace between these pages and a little sadness, too – the kind that makes flowers grow in all of the places you need them most. To hold these words is to understand what color feels like through every season. It is honest, like rain. It is brave, like forgiveness.”—Wilder, author of Nocturnal
“Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a dazzling portal of a collection. Trista Mateer erupts with spells of thunder and then gifts you with a careful platter of language to cast them yourself.”—Blythe Baird, author of If My Body Could Speak
