Birds don’t fly with leads, I said. / Safety belts are to learn with, not to live with -- / I’m safer on the trapeze than crossing the road. / And I do that every day, often by myself. So thirteen-year-old Avis argues when confronted by the limitations imposed on her at school. She has epilepsy and some of the teachers want to stop her from participating in the sport she loves most. From societal limitations to the inner experience of seizures, Susan Hawthorne’s poetry takes the reader on a journey rarely recorded. Physical injury, memory loss, explorations of consciousness a

The fragility-and the durability-of human life and art dominate this story of American expatriates in Italy in the mid-nineteenth century. Befriended by Donatello, a young Italian with the classical grace of the "Marble Faun," Miriam, Hilda, and Kenyon find their pursuit of art taking a sinister turn as Miriam’s unhappy past precipitates the present into tragedy. Hawthorne’s ’International Novel’ dramatizes the confrontation of the Old World and the New and the uncertain relationship between the ’authentic’ and the ’fake’ in life as in art. The

When the Twin Towers in New York,and the Pentagon in Washington were hit by airplanes, the western world stood in shocked silence. Then came the commentators, the endless news reports, and the constant replaying of television footage. Amidst the countless responses were the voices of women: writing for newspapers, some writing on line, using email lists and chat rooms. And in the sea of responses were those offering a uniquely feminist perspective. This collection of writings on the September 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. brings together the voices of women around

Australia is a land full of opportunities, but where can you go to find the things that matter to women? This book is a guide to the land as well as the diverse culture of women. Women’s culture in Australia goes back more than 40,000 years and is a rich mosaic of story, art and music. On the top of this has come the culture of the past 200 years: from the British convicts, from China, from the Pacific, from the newer waves of migration and from the women’s movement. This is reflected in literature, theatre, the visual arts, music, circuses and dance. Rural and urban women describe

This celebration of the enduring relationship between a woman and her feline includes more than 80 stories, poems, and reflections by women from around the world. Writings from such American authors as Marge Piercy, Dahlia Levy, and Terry Wolverton shed light on the historical tradition of the cat goddess as well as real-life encounters with heroic and troublesome cats. A cat who walked through plaster on shore clomps on board a sailing ship for three weeks; a cat who protected a family travels 100 miles to find her owners; and the cats who survive 9/11 are among the felines profiled in this a
