Part of Women Are Some Kind of Magic
First published 2016
Amanda Lovelace transforms her life story into poetry across four distinct sections. The princess captures early experiences and dreams of fairy tale endings. The damsel explores periods of vulnerability and struggle. The queen represents healing, strength, and self-empowerment. A final section addresses readers directly with universal truths about the human experience. Lovelace weaves together themes of love and loss, grief and recovery, personal growth and inspiration. She examines how we live our actual lives while yearning for the magic found in favorite stories. The collection offers readers a roadmap through pain toward self-rescue and empowerment, showing how one woman pieced together her identity through different life stages.
