if the pen was given to her: A Poetry Collection of Modern Mythic Retellings from the Perspective of the Goddess Herself
If the Pen Was Given to Her is a poetry collection of mythic retellings told from the inside out.
For too long, the stories of goddesses, oracles, and sacred figures were filtered through the pens of the wealthy, literate men, most stories written to contain, to caution, to diminish. The rage was softened. The power was punished. The darkness was called monstrous. The women who refused to comply were made into warnings.
This collection gives the pen back to them.
Spanning Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, Hawaiian, Inuit, Hindu, Chinese, Canaanite, Celtic, Roman, Gnostic traditions, and featuring over fifty goddesses, each with her own named asteroid in the sky, (made as a companion book to the Asteroid Encyclopedia — coming soon!) If the Pen Was Given to Her asks the question: what would she have said, thought, or done differently if she was given autonomy? If anyone had thought to ask?
Inanna descends and comes back changed. Lilith refuses to lie down. Medusa explains the transformation she asked for. Cassandra says I told you so again and again until the city falls silent. Circe calls her exile time. Persephone eats the seeds on purpose. And so on.
This is the untold version. The version from inside. The version she might have told herself.
If the pen was given to her this is what she would have said.
