"Mark From Iowa" published in the Cheat River Review.

February 24, 2019

“Maybe six months after her husband died, my sister Cassidy met a stranger in a bar. The guy offered to fly her to Iowa and she said yes because what, really, did she have to lose?”

I’ve always loved this story. Read the full piece here.

Feminine Deities in Classic Literature
Feminine Deities in Classic Literature
$275.00

What is the Female God? How is she depicted in classic literature and what kind of healing can she provide in an otherwise patristic culture? This writing seminar examines these questions and more in pursuit of fully understanding a God that has been historically denied. Beginning in ancient myths and biblical literature, moving up though 20th century America and landing in our modern world, this class will explore feminine deities. How does God as mother differ from God as father? How are these notions affected by differences in culture? What insights can we draw through this work about ourselves and the never-ending pursuit of truth? Readings will include classical mythology, the Bible, Toni Morrison, Virginia Woolf, Alice Walker, Ntozake Shange, among many others. The class will meet for 8 sessions from Oct. 15th - Dec. 10th, every Wednesday from 7:00 - 8:30 PM (excepting Thanksgiving week).
