The Moonflower Monologues by Tess Guinery

 This was an enjoyable book of poetry work. I felt like the works included in this book were very focused on the topic of motherhood and the idea of God/a god. I am not in the stage of life where motherhood is a focus or a thought for me and so while I appreciated the work and the subject matter of the poems, they did not draw me in or connect with me as I wished they would have. 

There is some truly stunning work included in this book and again I feel like motherhood in particular stuck out to me in all the books writing on femininity. 

Truly a deep and emotional piece of work, but not one for my time of life. 

I received this book from NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing to review and this is my honest review. 

Four out of five stars
