Danika reviews Seasons Change by Jennifer A. Lightburn
I have read quite a few self-published books for the Lesbrary now, and the majority of the time I come back to one point: editing.

This review is the result of one of those serendipitous fishing expeditions on Paperbackswap.com. I found Tash Fairbanks’ Fearful Symmetry completely by chance. It is an enjoyable, engrossing read.

The review copy of this book came with a business card from the publishing company, Zeitgeist Press, and the tagline on that card is “Poetry you can actually read”.
