O Hope! The Poet can create our world again. Phyllis Meshulam breaks apart the old memes / archetypes / stories and re-tells them. And we-her readers and listeners-can make our lives on this earth anew.
-Maxine Hong Kingston, author of The Woman Warrior
When inherited foundational stories prove to be inadequate, it is time for the artist to create new ones that will speak more clearly to our experience. In (Re)Creations, Phyllis Meshulam takes up this essential task. Her poems measure the damage done by cultural myths of patriarchal hierarchy, of warfare and conquest, of human dominance over nature. Her poems, however, also celebrate and affirm the enduring human capacity for creating new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. Brimming with empathic imagination and shaped with artistic precision, Meshulam's poetry is, as she says of a tropical butterfly's blue wings, mysteriously lit from within.
-Fred Marchant, author of Said Not Said
