Mademoiselle Ovary

Poetry, often misjudged as "flowery" or frivolous, is actually a very efficient form of literature that can deliver a point of practical value in a mere few words of rhythm as opposed to multiple paragraphs of meandering prose.


The sonnets of Mademoiselle Ovary were written by a woman for the girls and young women whom she sees randomly in her daily life, and through whom she remembers herself at those ages of awkwardness and self-doubt and confusion from social, academic, and familial expectations and peer pressures.


No matter how the world changes, there remains, universally, a no more tender being in need of encouragement and unconditional love and support than a girl on the eve of womanhood and then in the new years of young adulthood.


 Mademoiselle Ovary embodies all the encouragement, love, and support that the author could give and would like to have had much more of during her own time of transitioning from girlhood to womanhood.
