PRAISE:

Caterpillar Girl by Meredith Heller is a collection that explores the theme of metamorphosis. From a “young woman / with a sunflower face / a heart full of honey” who feels a caterpillar climbing her dress, to a “zig of lightning / across black asphalt,” Heller’s poems capture the beauty and power of the natural world. Rooted in vivid imagery of nature, the collection reminds readers that all things change, and that embracing life’s transformations allows us to move with its flow.
