Unseen Stories of Women: Miriam Wei Wei Lo reviews ‘If There is a Butterfly that Drinks Tears’ by Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon
Gazebo Books 2023.
Natalie Damjanovich-Napoleon writes poetry from and about the female body.
Her opening collection, First Blood was a gritty exploration of girlhood that challenged cultural expectations of ideal femininity. Her second collection If There is a Butterfly continues to centre female bodily experience, taking pregnancy, birth, and motherhood into her orbit.
