Tender Philosophia

Tender, erotic, and poetically unflinching.

Tender Philosophia comes as a collaborative effort of two women writers from opposite sides of the world. Aphra and Leine weave verses of myth and reality into a tapestry of introspections, sorrows, and desires. The collection sifts through time and space, finding a flawless harmony between nature and spirituality. These two new voices from Taiwan and Finland write with a soft, yet infatuating intensity. With rich imagery and alluring stanzas, they invite you to gaze unabashedly into the core of their genius.

"It feels like I've opened a chest of letters written in the ink of night. If the details of an oil painting could speak, this is what it would whisper about; two Goddess Girls in a secret garden, who walk barefoot among flowers, write poetry, and dance. These poems are a cathedral echoing with hymns of Greek mythology, two voices intertwining like colorful rays of light shining through a stained glass window - Young and ancient all at once." - Sallie Lundh, author of Apricity
