UnMythed

A collection of 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 male supremacy?For (second-wave feminist) poetry fans; of interest to scholars of Greek and Roman mythology; and a valuable resource for English teachers who teach a Mythology unit.Also part of the Satellites Out of Orbit collection - Thus Saith Eve, Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest, Deare Sister, and Snow White Gets Her Say"e;…A welcome relief from the usual male emphasis in this area. There is anger and truth here, not to mention courage."e; Eric Folsom, Next Exit"e;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."e; Linda Manning, Quarry"e;UnMythed was such a refreshing read. Chris Wind gives familiar mythological women their own voices, and the result is both thought-provoking and deeply engaging. The poems are clever, powerful, and often made me see these stories in a completely new way. A memorable collection that stayed with me long after I finished it."e; Ronald Emerson, Goodreads 5/5"e;Personally, I would not publish this stuff. This is not to say it isn't publishable – it's almost flawless stylistically, perfect form and content, etc. etc. It's perverse: satirical, biting, caustic, funny. Also cruel, beyond bitter, single-minded with a terminally limited point of view, and this individual may have read Edith Hamilton's Mythology but she/he certainly doesn't perceive the essential meanings of these myths. Or maybe does and deliberately twists the meaning to suit the poem. Likewise, in the etymological sense. Editorial revisions suggested? None, it's perfect. Market potential/readership targets? Everyone – this is actually marketable – you could fill Harbourfront reading this probably. General comments? You could actually make money on this stuff."e; anonymous reader report for a small Canadian press, that rejected the ms
