"You were born in the heart of a supernova,
a tumultuous place of violence,
and wonder, and beauty.
You are a young seed, from an old world,
ready to create something new from the stardust."
★★★★★ Pamela Amazon Review"[Wonder of the Cosmos] summons peace, love and acceptance."
The Roots of a Goddess is CM Writer's debut poetry anthology. The anthology's overarching theme is inspired by the natural life cycle of a flower, as it progresses from dormancy, through growth and flowering to dispersal. This transformation resembles her journey of self-discovery as an adolescent and presents the reflections of a young woman, on who she is today, and who she once was. She hopes her words help those who may be experiencing hardship and help them feel less alone.
★★★★★ Lindsay B. Amazon Review"Her words will leave you inspired and ready to seek out your own adventures, and the struggle of youth is impeccably portrayed in the powerful underlying metaphor. [This book] is a symbol of hope in the often changing journey of life"
