Book Description
A collection of poems exposing the myths within the myth: what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and others have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a male supremacy? For (feminist) poetry fans; of interest to scholars of Greek and Roman mythology; and a valuable resource for English teachers who teach a Mythology unit. Gaia, Narcissus, Pandora, Daphne, Daedalus, Ismene, Poseidon, Athena and Orestes, Circe, The Muses, Omphale, Hyacinth, Philomel, Clytie, Eurydice, The Danaids, Amphion, Galatea, Gorgons, Dido, Menelaus, Psyche, Hylas, Atalanta, Penelope, Jason, Macha, Penthisilea, Persephone, Adonis, Ares, Acrisius, Sirens, Iphegenia, Chryseis and Briseis, Thetis, Chiron, Artemis, Bellerophon, Sisyphus, Prometheus “...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 “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

Book Description
Poetry from the poet’s late teens in the 1970s to her early thirties in the 1990s-sensitive, passionate, and most of all, illuminating. scabs and scars blowing across the snow standing on a cliff in a silent blizzard crumbling and dreaming of kaleidoscopes all of the pieces always fit “dreaming of kaleidoscopes is a top pick of poetry and is very much worth considering.” Midwest Book Review

Book Description
This work of feminist fiction has five parts: I. Epistles: epistles written by Eve, Cain’s wife, Noah’s wife, Delilah, the Queen of Sheba, Mary, and others – as if they were feminist II. Myths: the myths within the myths revealed – what might Pandora, Circe, Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and others have thought and done if they had not been the creations of a chauvinist patriarchy? III. Letters: letters that might have been written by Lady Godiva, Milton’s daughter, Rubens’ model, Mozart’s mother, Freud’s wife, Plato’s students, and others – assuming a feminist consciousness IV. Soliloquies: soliloquies delivered by Juliet, Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Kate, Desdemona, Regan, Miranda, and others – protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare V. Fairy Tales: the classic fairy tales retold – what would have happened if Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and others had been strong and critical girls and women living today? “...an excellent and much recommended pick for unique fiction collections.” Michael Dunford, Midwest Book Review

Book Description
Lady MacBeth kill herself? Please. And Portia – you don’t think someone that intelligent would be a little pissed at being bait, and trophy? As for Kate ... that's supposed to be funny? Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest is a collection of soliloquies by Ophelia, Lady MacBeth, Regan, Portia, Desdemona, Kate, Isabella, Juliet, Marina, and Miranda – protesting the role given to them by Shakespeare. Exquisite poetry. Fresh new audition pieces. And a theatrical script ready for performance. “...not only dynamic, imaginative verse writing, but extremely intelligent and intuitive insight ... I know many actresses who would love to get their hands on this material! As a Shakespeare director, I’m thrilled by the perspective which Chris’ pieces provide of the plays and characters which they challenge – I believe these will be sought after by theatre companies which also do solid classical work, as new material for their audiences, embraced by a season of Shakespeare plays. As a feminist, I’m excited by how these characters come alive and point up the perceptions and misperceptions that have shaped their literary and theatrical destinies. As a dramaturg, I’m more than pleased to find modern playwrights who can write in heightened language and/or verse.” Joanne Zipay, Judith Shakespeare Company, NYC

Book Description
Each poem in this collection describes a painting or a sculpture: some, a re-vision of a classic; others, an original work not yet realized. Among the artists whose work is re-imagined are Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Dali, Botticelli, Monet, and Rodin. * "It has been a long time since I've read a poetry book, but when I came across Paintings and Sculptures by Chris Wind, I was hooked. You know that feeling-when you read the first page and you know you're going to like the book? That happened when I read the first poem. ... I loved "Mona" and I could picture the scene; it might have happened that way, we'll never know. Also, "The Last Supper" was brilliantly clever. But my favourite one was "Lady of Justice"-such a fine poem, with a subtle message ... This is for sure a book I'll reread every couple months!" Mesca Elin 5/5 Praise for chris wind's other poetry collections "... a top pick of poetry and very much worth considering.” Midwest Book Review about dreaming of kaleidoscopes “ ... not only dynamic, imaginative verse writing, but extremely intelligent and intuitive insight ..." Joanne Zipay, Judith Shakespeare Company, NYC about Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest "There is anger and truth here, not to mention courage.” Eric Folsom, Next Exit about UnMythed

Book Description
What if one's mandatory tour of duty was environmental rather than militaristic? Suppose all advertising had to tell the truth? Can you imagine sports without competition? ... Social commentary and activism via fiction. “As the title indicates, this collection of stories is about getting into the thick of things, taking sides, taking action, and speaking out loud and clear, however unpopular your opinion may be. ... refreshingly out of the ordinary.” Joan McGrath, Canadian Book Review Annual

Book Description
Eve should be blamed for choosing the apple? For choosing knowledge over obedience? Knowledge of good and evil? She thinks not. Mary insists she be recognized for who she is--the mother of God. And, well, you can imagine what Noah’s wife had to say about his grand idea. Nineteen epistles in all. Not only good reading, but also well-suited for auditions. “In this book the voices and personalities of women such as Noah’s wife, Mary of Bethany, Zipporah, and Vashti are reimagined in an exciting and empowering way. ... As in her other works, Wind uses historical people, events, and understandings to build a truly wonderful source of feminist fiction. In addition to being an extremely enjoyable and thought provoking read, the monologues can also be used for audition and performance pieces. ..." Katie M. Deaver, feminismandreligion.com

Book Description
First there was the pandemic, and people rushed to the north to spread the virus like rats leaving a plague ship. Then there were the rentals, because other people, eager to capitalize on the pandemic, rushed to develop every last bit of shoreline and turn it into five-star accommodations for the rats. Then, well, all hell broke loose. * CottageEscape.zyx: Satan Takes Over, sequel to TurboJetslams: Proof #29 of the Non-Existence of God, is a short and funny novel about 'cottage country' with a deep and serious message. A perfect (pre-)summer read that will make you laugh and think at the same time. “A hilarious take, based in reality. You know Jass has lived this life. It is way too familiar. I laugh ... as much as I cry ...” Jennifer Jilks, mymuskoka.blogspot.com
