Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things

First off, I love so many things about this book even outside of the poetry - the title, the dedication, the content warnings, the art.

The introduction of the book talks about a figure in mythology you've probably heard of, one who is known for two very different things. Just like this figure, Flower Crowns and Fearsome Things explores that dichotomy, and I loved the two drawings that accompanied each poem depending on which aspect the poem was exploring.

These poems explore the facets that each of us are: vulnerable and fierce, insecure and self-assured, plain and magical, cynical and hopeful, in a dreamy book that calls back to stories we've grown up hearing, both good and bad, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
