For winter’s rains and ruins are over,
And all the seasons of snows and sins;
The days of dividing lover and lover,
The light that loses, the night that wins;
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,
And in green underwood and cover
Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

About


 

I started this project shortly after the birth of my daughters. As a mother my frustration with the cultural pressures around beauty took on a new urgency. I reached out to family and friends and asked them to write about their experiences in whatever way made sense to them. I hope that these writings will offer you some strength, or wisdom, or just comfort that we are in this together. If you would like to contribute to the Atalanta Project, please go to the contact page. I look forward to hearing from you!
