I Was Many Women

By Venus Elara Brave

This book began with a single question: If I had nine lives, who would I become in each one?

What followed became a lyrical poetry collection about love in all its forms: consuming, gentle, grieving, hopeful, and deeply human.

Across nine symbolic lives, a woman continuously reinvents herself through heartbreak, love, devotion, memory, survival, and emotional rebirth. From soldiers and writers to artists, princes, almost lovers, and poets, each life explores a different shade of love and a different version of selfhood.

Blending reincarnation, philosophy, feminine identity, and psychological transformation, I Was Many Women explores the strange reality that we are never only one person throughout our lives.

We become new after grief.
New after love.
New after survival.
Tender, literary, and emotionally intimate, this collection is for readers who have ever looked back at an old version of themselves and realized: she feels like somebody I used to know.
