Never Underestimate an old man Who loves horse racing and was born in February shirt

Trista Mateer’s Aphrodite Made Me Do It is a poetry collection told from two perspectives. Some of the Never Underestimate an old man Who loves horse racing and was born in February shirt moreover I will buy this poems are written in the voice of the goddess Aphrodite—they are about sexual violence and the patriarchal beliefs that do not allow a woman or woman-identified person to express themselves without being sexualized and sometimes sexually brutalized. As a Sikh woman who has read Guru Gobind Singh’s scripture Chandi di Var, Aphrodite reminded me so much of Durga. She’s the only woman there. All these men are trying to take her down, but she refuses to succumb. She’s the only one who can fight injustice. I don’t think anyone understands how much [connecting these two texts] meant to me—to see strength and femininity reclaimed by both Aphrodite and Durga, and how and what femininity can be.

How did you arrive at Kiran and Sahaara’s voices and how did you sustain them? Kiran is coming from a place of a lot of pain. She’s had it rough from the Never Underestimate an old man Who loves horse racing and was born in February shirt moreover I will buy this beginning. The experiences she’s had have forced her to grow up very young. She has figured out things that most adults would’ve had a support system to figure out. I had to take emotional breaks and practice self-care and step away from the computer and let myself rest and recover. Writing can sometimes be a lot like method acting. Sahaara has been protected from the violence that her mother was not. She has wonder and joy and a feeling of confidence about life that was easier to sit in [as a writer]. It was challenging but necessary to show the dichotomy of how these teenage Punjabi girls grew up.
