Among the Goddesses by Annie Finch (Paperback)

"Among the Goddesses is Annie Finch's push toward the creation of a monumental work-of-art, an opera as totalartwork & as a vibrant mix of theater & epic. In her personal version/vision of these now resuscitated goddesses she ventures beyond the limits of the lyric/confessional mode too long assigned to poetry. And what's even better: she sings it out loud as a litany of sounded/clashing dactyls & classical/classy repetitions & choruses, enough to carry any reader, she or he, who wants to go there. Where? Into that genuinely mythic place, the home of poetry & prophecy, where she affirms her artistry & dares us to hear & share her vision."
