“Whimsical, poetic, and with a nod to Greek mythology and other folklore.” Dragonfly girl is Muijser’s second poetry book, following her debut All my faces. It is a collection of approximately 100 poems that reflects on the cycles of growth, grief and inevitable rebirth. Capturing the beautiful legend of a dragonfly in that way. It features elements and references to folklore and mythology, as well as the imagery of a whimsical, old and slightly haunted forest. “To me being a dragonfly girl means growing through every hardship life has thrown at you. It means rebirthing, over and over until you’ve outgrown everything and everyone that used to hold you back, that shackled you to the ground. Being a dragonfly girl means learning from that pain and evolving into something stronger. And eventually, being brave enough to unfurl your wings and fly away.” “Dragonfly girl, who you are, is not who you’ve been.”
