The newly released book, We Are the Fall, retells the stories of women from Greek, Celtic, Written, and Norse mythology, giving them a powerful voice. Through free verse and lyrical retellings, it transforms figures like Medusa and Guinevere into vengeful heroines, encouraging a reclaiming of their narratives. An Illustrated Edition is also available.
The poem explores the narratives surrounding women like Eve, Pandora, and Guinevere, who are accused of causing destruction. It challenges these perspectives by asserting that women are not to blame for the chaos but instead, are catalysts for growth and liberation. The message emphasizes choice over sin and resilience in adversity.
Ariadne, from the Threads of the Forsaken series, reinterprets her mythological story. Instead of a romantic gesture, her offering of the thread to Theseus stems from compassion for her brother, the Minotaur. This narrative emphasizes her agency, portraying her actions as a means to end suffering rather than mere heroic assistance.
Eurydice Before explores the life of Eurydice prior to her tragic fate, emphasizing her vibrant existence in nature and spirit. Contrary to her portrayal as a mere symbol of loss in classical mythology, this retelling celebrates her autonomy, wildness, and resilience, highlighting her journey beyond sorrow and myth into a fuller identity.
In this retelling of Pandora’s myth, she emerges as a powerful figure rather than a victim. Crafted from beauty and curses, Pandora chooses to unleash the world’s plagues while preserving Hope. Instead of being a symbol of suffering, she becomes a force of reckoning, embedding Hope in the hearts of resilient women.
In “Before the Descent,” Persephone is reimagined as a confident young woman who willingly chooses to leave her unfulfilling life for a more profound existence. Instead of portraying her as a victim, the narrative presents her as reclaiming her power and embracing her fate alongside Hades, who is seen as a liberator.
In “Rise of the Gorgon Queen,” a broken woman prays for power and vengeance against mankind. Athena answers her plea, transforming her into a formidable warrior and Gorgon Queen. This new identity grants Medusa the strength to escape her shame and instill fear in those who would harm her.
