I have a love/hate relationship with poetry, so it's rare for me to enjoy an entire collection of it. This, though - I devoured the whole thing in one sitting and then went back & took my sweet time with each poem, luxuriating in it. I needed this beautiful piece of art! <3

This collection is healing magic. I loved the experience of stepping into the sexy shoes of each and every goddess. Silva-Dunbar takes such care with her words and the way she makes her reader feel. I want to sleep and dream in this poetry forever.

What can I say, after reading Allison by this author I have been getting my hands on everything she has written. She has a big new fan in me! She is a prolific writer with such an interesting perspective on the world. I will read everything she writes. This collection was fantastic. I liked how each of the goddesses felt like friends to me by the end. Highly recommend. Kudos to the author.

Marisa Silvar-Dunbar's collection When Goddesses Wake is about healing, feeling one's feelings, and growth. It speaks of goddesses in such a way that both shows their power and humanizes them. She shows that women are powerful and terrifying creatures who heal their hurts in leaning upon the guidance of one another to get through their deepest tragedies. It is powerful, magical, and beautiful writing.
