A Daughter Of Eve

The girls at Modesta High School feel like they're stuck in some anti-feminist time warp-they're faced with sexism at every turn, and they've had enough. Sponsored by their new art teacher, Ms. Stark, they band together to form the Daughters of Eve. It's more than a school club-it's a secret society, a sisterhood. At first, it seems like they are actually changing the way guys at school treat them. But Ms. Stark urges them to take more vindictive action, and it starts to feel more like revenge-brutal revenge. Blinded by their oath of loyalty, the Daughters of Eve become instruments of vengeance. Can one of them break the spell before real tragedy strikes?

This collection of poems was written during a most difficult time in my life. I was going through a divorce, my world having been turned upside down. Each piece in the collection was a catharsis of sorts helping me to deal with my pain while at the same time encouraging me to explore who I was as a woman. Joy and pain are juxtaposed throughout the body of work and reflect the extremes of emotion that I experienced. I’ve chosen to divide the work into three sections. Each grouping of poems reflects a chapter of my story. Each speaks to elements involved in the process of my continued journey of self-discovery. The Sacred Feminine touches on the spiritual search that has been such a driving force throughout my life. Earth Mother has become increasingly more important to my growth as I connect to elements in the natural world and feel their essence. The Seeker is the optimist that is forever searching for the positive and the beauty that I know exists within myself and within those whom I love and cherish. The journey of self-discovery continues. I am aware that I am still in the process of Becoming.
