Lancastrian Letters

Mica Press

The Queen of Heaven and Earth had no easy job, not even in 3000 BCE, when both heaven and earth were smaller. Even within the gates of her own city Uruk, the far-sighted and beautiful goddess Inanna requires the assistance of her lovers Gilgamesh and Ninshubur. With their help, she establishes her throne, defeats the guardian monsters of Grandfather Wisdom to bring civilization to Uruk, and returns alive from an ill-fated family reunion in Hell.  Ninshubur, Inanna's faithful counselor, is a woman of power and courage in her own right, but she lacks Inanna's ambition and usually find herself on the fringe of an adventure. But the fringe is often the best vantage point for the storyteller, and, after all, this is the dreamtime of myth, when even the fringe of an adventure can feature pterodactyls, sports cars, and terrific sex.

Anne Sheldon¿s heroines have lowered eyes and 
seditious smiles. They are people of folklore and fairy 
tales: Penelope, the Crane Maiden, the Fates. Her 
heroes are outsiders in their own stories¿ 
Rumpelstiltskin and Arachne¿s father. 
These story-poems and stories focus on the 
work that women do with spinning wheel, spindle, 
and knitting needles. They are accompanied by 
evocative images of these instruments and the cloth 
they yield.
