You Both Woke Up to the Sun

Olivia De Lesantis

Olivia De Lesantis is a writer and creative director from Naarm. Her work primarily involves goddesses of deduction and ladies of ill-repute. She is an ardent feminist, and her poetry seeks to explore and unpack the various nuances of her womanhood.

She is Director and Founder of Aphrodite’s Blush Creative Services; a freelance marketing agency centred around assisting businesses to connect meaningfully with their customers; website coming soon!
