EARTH WOMAN, BURIED GODDESS
"In her collection of poems Earth woman, buried Goddess Ivalu describes part of her chaotic and then beautiful journey, that of a woman who has killed herself and returned to life, one whose roots grow and grow stronger as she incarnates the goddesses that inhabit her. We will live in each verse the charming wit of Julia Ivalu. I am sure that, like me, it will inspire many to embark on their own journey in which they will clearly hear their voices and those of their ancestors, embrace their chaos, put down strong roots, meet their goddesses again, and re-live in the present."
