She Let Herself Go: PoemsFrom George Ella Lyon comes a dynamic and humorous collection examining the transformations of one woman's life as she tries on, takes on, and peels off identities learned from family stories, gender, fairy tales, and myths. She Let Herself Go spirals through girlhood, wifehood, motherhood, and writerhood, through the poet's evolution, casting a discerning and often irreverent eye on the cultural expectations that have shaped her. Claiming Virginia

From George Ella Lyon comes a dynamic and humorous collection examining the transformations of one woman's life as she tries on, takes on, and peels off identities learned from family stories, gender, fairy tales, and myths. She Let Herself Go spirals through girlhood, wifehood, motherhood, and writerhood, through the poet's evolution, casting a discerning -- and often irreverent -- eye on the cultural expectations that have shaped her. Claiming Virginia Woolf as word-mother, these poems converse with powerful feminist poets, including Muriel Rukeyser, Ruth Stone, and Grace Paley.
Beginning with the physical change of life, where the poet is Strung / on muscle / of myth and miracle / a uterine knot / of work and words Lyon reveals the interiors of previous selves like the opening of a nesting doll. Although the collection upholds a unifying theme, Lyon's work resists homogeneity. As with the many personas the poet assumes and casts aside, the poems take on wildly divergent shapes that must be recognized before the parts can be united in a new way.

Defective clasp
Color: Sweet Lilac, Color: Sweet Lilac
I recently purchased this bracelet and while I love the design, the lock is unfortunately not functional and won't stay secure.​ I am torn on this review. The bracelet is absolutely stunning I'd give the look a 5-star. It looks high-end and the design is perfect. ​The functionality is a 1-star. The lock is completely defective and does not stay closed, which makes it unwearable. It's disappointing to have such a beautiful piece that I can't actually use. If the clasp worked, this would be a perfect purchase.

Beautiful but hard to lock/closed
Color: Pearl White
It’s really nice. The only reason I put only 4 stars is because it’s hard to close/lock it by yourself. Takes a few seconds, but everntually you’ll get it. Love that it’s mother of pearl and 18k gold plated, you won’t worry that it will smell like a rust. Material and quality is good. I have a big wrist and the size is just perfect for me. This is less than 8 because 8 is too big for me and 7 is super right only, not much allowance.
