Description: Bestselling and award-winning author Trista Mateer returns with another magical approach to self-care in her newest goddess-themed poetry. Using the framework of tarot and conversation, Mateer approaches myth through a witchcraft-inspired lens and uses it to explore timeless issues like burnout, survival, trauma, and the restorative power in taking control of your own lore. Artemis speaks to what is wild and untamed in all of us, and in this new collection, she asks for a moment of calm.--From publisher website.

Review Quotes: "Through verse that sings war songs as well as moon songs, the Artemis in these pages challenges and encourages. She lifts you out of despair and into fierceness. There are poems in here that will wound you and poems that will heal you, with an elegance that glows through every word." -- Nikita Gill, author of Great Goddesses
