Cables to Rage by Audre Lorde
5.0
Such beautiful poems, beautiful words!
I'm currently working on/writing my MA thesis based on Audre Lorde's sapphic poems, 'The reception of sapphic poetry in french-speaking countries with the example of Audre Lorde's works'; and I find her sapphic poetry beautiful, truly!! It feels so nice to read poetry about women loving women, women in love sharing a special moment, making love etc. Thank you Audre Lorde for writing a positive representation of woman sexuality and sapphic sex.
My favourite poems: "On a night of the full moon", "after a first book" and of course "Martha."

Le Chant d'Achille by Madeline Miller
slow-paced
2.0
I know this book is loved by many, that's why I bought it. Well, I didn't like it but I was also very depressed, in the middle of a huge reading slump and had enough of greek mythology and its retellings. I started The Song of Achilles in 2018 and only finished it in 2021. I found myself having no interest in the plot, in the descriptions, in the characters. I'm giving the books two stars instead of one solely for the last paragraph because that was beautiful.
