A collection of feminist poetry exposing the myths within the myths - what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and the other women of Greek-Roman mythology have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a chauvinist patriarchy? "...A welcome relief from the usual male emphasis in this area. There is anger and truth here, not to mention courage." Eric Folsom, Next Exit "...a fascinating collection of upbeat male/female commentaries based on incidents in the lives of mythological characters. With considerable skill and much care, chris wind has extrapolated truths from mythical scenarios and reordered them in modern terms. An Appendix provides the necessary biographical information pertinent to each poem. Wind handles these myths with wit and intellect. Her voice suggests that the relationship between the consciousness of the myth-makers and modern consciousness is closer than we would think." Linda Manning, Quarry "I really like what you're doing with the fables .... There is so much rich material there and you have a good sense of what can be and what needs to be addressed."
