Flower Crowns & Fearsome Things by Amanda Lovelace
I absolutely adored this book and it's message that we can be both kind and fierce. This is a standalone collection of Amanda Lovelace's poetry written around the concept that Persephone is both the goddess of spring and the queen of the dead. The pages alternate between the tenderness of spring and the darkness of the underworld, and emphasize that women can be both. Lovelace balances between those two tones beautifully and this is my favourite of her novels. If you want to read some gorgeous feminist poetry I strongly recommend this book.
