An absolutely stunning poetry collection. 10/10 no notes, just all the feels. Can't even enumerate all my favourite poems because my book is more dog ears than not (and what beautiful quality the pages are too!!). Nonetheless, I will list some in order of printing: Lavender Town, Baby Cerberus, The Oracle Delivers Your Pizza, Mt. Pelion's Figs to Aphrodite, Nebula's Sarabande, Interstellar Checkpoint II, Briseis (Reconstructed), Playing FFXV at 2:00am, Medusa Doesn't Kill Spiders, The Second Hand to the Clockmaker. I'm sure I've missed some. Please go out and buy and read this book!!!

In essence, Baby Cerberus is a collection of poems related to pop culture, with a mixture of mythology and poignant familiarity. Paying homage to video games, Pokemon, pop music, pizza delivery, the gods of myth and modern times as told in a lyrical and unconventional poetry format, the author brings some freshness and curiosity akin to it being a sweet familiarity and poignant memories.

The Baby Cerberus poem is one of the sweeter ones, speaking to adoration and myth of the guardian of the underworld and Persephone.

I have a few favourites, but this one is the one that stuck closely to my mind…

Riddle I

When I ask you why the sun cradled us as stars

Twilight (shy) hid in
Night’s iris/ Fire invites
Millennium’s smile

Baby Cerberus is a beautiful collection that will wash over you with nostalgia and the feeling of love in all its forms.

Some favourites from the collection:
Baby Cerberus
It Keeps Us Here
Marginalia on Report 136: Alien
Palimpsest
A Beginner’s Guide to Stellar Navigation

These poems capture the aches and pains of growing up with the ones you love and all the things that slip away under your feet as you try to hold on to creatures and places and spaces and homes that are constantly changing. They deal with grief and heartache but also capture what Natasha does best - talking about joy for once amidst it all.

A multi layered piece of writing that touched different phase of existence from mythology to future life.
