L.E. Bowman's latest collection Shapeshifter aches with the soft sorrows and hard-won joys of life. Melodic and introspective, Bowman's poems converse-struggling with grief and hopelessness while fighting for love and recovery. Shapeshifter grounds the reader in the body, ever transforming with age and experience. Reckoning with self-image, heartbreak, and motherhood, this collection emphasises the beauty in mundanity - the journey that is life. Bowman's Shapeshifter embraces the fear of an ever-changing and vulnerable existence, encouraging the reader to live in spite and because of that fear. It's a truly touching collection that can't be missed!
