Description:
A portrait in verse of two iconic female figures - the Virgin Mary and the Cretan 'snake goddess' - unravelling the millennia of myth men have woven around them.
A fresh and questioning look at girlhood and its icons, unravelling the millennia of myth woven around girls.
'One of our most gifted poets ... This is tender and exquisite poetry' Mona Arshi, author of Small Hands
In Girl, Ruth Padel presents a triptych of interlocking sequences. A moving retelling of the Christian story transforms the Virgin Mary into a girl in a Primark T-shirt, facing a life shaped by divine will. Unearthed from the Cretan labyrinth, a prehistoric Snake Goddess is reshaped at the hands of a male archaeologist.
Between these evocative figures, myth turns personal. Delicately crafted lyrics, sometimes taking adventurous shapes, explore snapshots from the poet's own life blended with archetypes from India, European fairy tale, ancient Greece and Urban Dictionary- girl as soul, girl as creative energy, girl as the sacred power of nature, vulnerable but unstoppable. 'Listening to the snowmelt / of the patriarchy', Girl is an urgent, revelatory work for today.

FAKE! Caused burning stinging and pain. AVOID
Counterfeit product-avoid! Don’t buy it from here, get the actual product from Bioderma directly. I used this and it made my face sting, itch and turn a bright red. Then came the BURNING! After avoiding it for a week my face is finally healing. I didn’t notice the horrible packaging until it was too late—compare the photo of the product I got to the actual product from Bioderma and you’ll see the difference.
It is extremely unethical for a seller to send FAKE products that cause PAIN and redness all to make a dollar. Not cool.
