Protectress is a hybrid poetry-prose novella offering a risky take on the legend of Medusa. With stunning economy of words and a delicate hand, Protectress provokes us to think about the feminist identity and the power of compassion. Listeners who fell deeply for Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey, Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad, Madeleine Miller’s Circe, Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven, Maria Dahvana Headley’s translation of Beowulf, and Toby Barlow's Sharp Teeth will find themselves enamoured with Protectress.

I always tell people I lived life backward...pregnant at 20, widowed at 30, wondering what’s in store for 40. Here’s where I am now....

In her search for peace, Kendra writes about her experiences of being single, putting herself first, stepping into her light, and shining as bright as she can. Through self-discovery and putting in the work to find herself along the journey of this thing called life, she shares what she hopes will be a helpful guide to others as they go through life and all that’s unexpected. Ultimately a lesson in learning to let go and release what no longer serves you so you can create space for what is to come.
