About this ebook
Goddess Pages: Honey, Full Moons and Daggers is as much a journey through womanhood, as it is an exquisitely written book of poetry. Through words, Shepsa courses through the faces of the Goddess; seductively sensual, heroically maternal, and radically rebellious. Goddess Pages is a feast of words that will make you want to make love, have a baby and plan the revolution.
