Penelope, Eurydice, Persephone, the Gorgons, and others have thought and done if
they had not been the creations of a chauvinist patriarchy?

Q: Why did you go indie?
“Personally, I would not publish this stuff. This is not
to say it isn’t publishable – it’s almost flawless stylistically, perfect form
and content, etc. etc. It’s perverse: satirical, biting, caustic, funny. Also cruel, beyond bitter, single-minded
with a terminally limited point of view, and this individual may have read Edith
Hamilton’s Mythology but she/he
certainly doesn’t perceive the essential meanings of these myths. Or maybe does and deliberately twists
the meaning to suit the poem. Likewise, in the etymological sense. Editorial revisions suggested? None,
it’s perfect. Market potential/readership Targets: Everyone – this is actually
marketable – you could sell fill Harbourfront reading this probably. General
comments: You could actually make money on this stuff.” anonymous reader report for a small
