Is this presidential election season kicking up some PTSD for you? 

If it is, you might find some support in a legendary dance piece by Martha Graham, "Errand Into the Maze." I was working on a project about Graham, while struggling with all the feelings that the current headlines were bringin up for me... and I suddenly saw this dance through new eyes and it gave me strength and understanding of my own process. So I am sharing it in a blog: "Errand Into the Maze and PTSD."
I experience it as a kind of blueprint for women who are struggling with intrusive memories from PTSD. Check it out.

And... I made a short video about my experience at the Hewnoaks Artist Colony this summer... It's actually about "failure." (see below)


And finally...   Eleanor Cowan, author of A History of a Pedophile's Wife: Memoir of a Canadian Teacher and Writer (see my blog review of this amazing book) has written her own review on Goodreads of my radical feminist book of daily meditations,  Like There's No Tomorrow:

"A book I'd never, ever, be without! I can choose among 100 meditations, each a page or two, and unerringly, I am restored to sanity, refreshed, renewed and redirected! For example, in the meditation entitled 'Compromise', I learned about the high price paid by Matilda Gage, early 1900 Suffragette, who, despite the loss of dear women friends, remained committed to her own ideas. So motivating!"

I actually have a pile of remaindered copies... so here's a special sale... $10 plus free shippi ng in the US. If this button doesn't work, just email me.




... and, finally, Rain and Thunder: A Radical Feminist Journal of Activism and Discussion will be publishing my report of Ottawa Conference and also a piece on the proposal to purchase the land from the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival.
