Bianca Bowers: Butterfly Voyage Poetry review

Conservative thinker Jordan Peterson occasionally cites the traditional notions of the chaos of the feminine and the order of the masculine in his work. Although precedent has been set in ancient literature, the contentious nature of these gendered attributions is undermined by an examination - for instance - at a typical male-occupied space, and a female-occupied space. Women are generally neater than men. While unfair too to attribute the feminine specifically to females and masculine to males, the conventional wisdom with respect to feminine chaos and masculine order could be construed as challenged, if not debunked entirely, by Bianca Bowers in her collection Butterfly Voyage - by virtue of her gender.



Sitting astride a body of work that is more conventional, Bowers tackles the atrophy taking place around the world in a book replete with the wisdom of experience and maternal instinct.

Through its poet's voice, Butterfly Voyage can be read as a brief to strive against daily chaos and decay and to take each day at a time with a positive mindset. The more surreal poetry features dragons and talking birds. However, most of it - whether grounded in reality or not - has encouraging and didactic elements that uplift and inspire.
