I found Shelby’s writing style to be beautiful, so I fully expected to feel the same way reading this poetry collection. I’d already read Sunshine, Sadness and other Floridian Effects a while ago, and I loved that. Unfortunately, there still isn’t a lot of good rep to come by, so I was hoping to see my aro-ace self in Goddess of the Hunt. When Shelby revealed that she’d be releasing an #ownvoices poetry collection with asexual and aromantic representation, I was immediately curious to read it. Immerse yourself in a cultivated tempest of poems illustrating Artemis as a warrior, whose shoulders have known an excessive weight of responsibility, and who always fights to remain her authentic self among people who would change her. This collection reimagines and follows Artemis navigating her lifelong vow of chastity and, rather than suffering through it, owning it as a facet of her aromanticism and asexuality. Told through the perspective of Artemis herself with the contributions of a few other Greek Goddesses.
“If you’d let all those rules crumble, she’d be perfectly free.”Ī poetry collection about the mythic life of Artemis, Greek Goddess of the hunt. Shelby Eileen has previously written the poetry collections soft in the middle and sunfish, and the poetry chapbook Sunshine, Sadness and other Floridian Effects (which is available for free here!). Happy book birthday to Goddess of the Hunt!! You can now get a copy here!
I received a free eARC from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
