Kate Forsyth in-conversation with Kell Woods

It is not wise to anger the gods ... or to fall in love with one.

The story of Psykhe and Eros has been told for more than two-and-a-half thousand years. Kate Forsyth infuses it with new vigour as a life-affirming celebration of female strength, sexual desire, and empowerment.
