Birthing Orion by Dax Murray
5.0

This book was beautiful in every way.

First, the art. If the beautiful cover wasn't enough, the background to every poem is a picture of stars, galaxies and space stuff.

The poems themselves tell a coherent story about two goddesses making stars and galaxies, and also having... relationship problems that are surprisingly human?! The poems are all about a similar topic and yet different, I never got bored while reading them, even though I usually find collections repetitive.

All in all, I loved this and I'm kind of tempted to get a print copy.
