Publisher's Synopsis
fertility rites is a collection of poetry and prose that captures all the blood, hesitation, hips and surrender passed from woman to woman, from woman to man and back again. It presents a new mythology, highlighting an experience that is both primal and restrained, sensual, cautious, but entirely trusting of the earth, the universe and all its mysteries. The poems reach back matrilineally throughout history, exorcising the kind of emotions that should not be passed on, but too often are and sharing all the joys and experiences that aren't shared enough. Transcendent and personal, this work is a rite of passage all its own.
