Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill burst onto the scene in 2015 with her fierce and empowering poetry and prose, amassing a following of over half a million on Instagram, 130k on Facebook, and close to 40k on Twitter. Known for her retellings of fairytales (Fierce Fairytales) and ancient Greek mythology (Great Goddesses), Gill’s work actively challenges the misogynistic undercurrents of the stories that shape our world and unearths their feminist underpinnings have been too-long and too-often ignored.
Now Gill returns with THE GIRL AND THE GODDESS. Time tapping into the rich well of Hindu mythology—including the Punjabi and Kashmiri folklore that informed her upbringing—to deliver her most personal and deeply felt writing to date. Fans of Rupi Kaur and Cleo Wade are sure to enjoy Gill’s stunning sixth collection.
