For Goddesses Who Have Loved Mortal M*n

Written for black women and by a black woman, Kinyatta Lee West's For Goddesses Who Have Loved Mortal Men is a collection of poems that seek to provide sanctuary. It is intended to serve as a poetic place to shelter from the pain that often comes with losing love. Esoeically one that had no intentions of being kept. It is a book that creates a safe space, giving its readers permission to be vulnerable. Whether it is anger, hurt, frustration, disappointment, grief, or hope... For Goddesses Who Have Loved Mortal Men welcomes each reader to bring their rawest, most honest selves. However, by the end of the book, it also asks readers to leave as they would a therapy session, feeling lighter than when they first picked it up. If you are in search of a soft place to land, especially in a world that seeks to harden black women, this is the book for you!
