almost 2 years agoPoetry collection "River Woman, River Demon" was written by author and talented poet Jennifer Givhan. Since its publication in 2021, the book has won praise from both literary aficionados and reviewers.
The collection looks at how women and water have a complicated and frequently unpleasant relationship. Givhan employs water as a metaphor for a variety of feelings, recollections, and experiences, from a river's calm flow to a flood's devastation. She explores the deeper meanings and consequences of water in our lives by drawing on the mythology of numerous cultures and geographical areas, such as the Mississippi River and the Aztec water goddess Chalchiuhtlicue.
"River Woman, River Demon" contains frightening, unvarnished, and intensely private poems.
