The writers gathered here reflect the gamut of literary, artistic, personal and professional experience. From the Finger Lakes of New York to busy Tibetan marketplaces, from the searing Arizona heat to the cool Santa Barbara coast, from the shade of southern magnolias to the downward reaching branches of banyans in Trinidad, these women bring you poems, stories, essays, performances and genre- transcendences that hold nothing back. Working in multiple modes and art forms – from playwriting to visual art, music and new media – they explore the limits of their talents with edge, grace, intelligence and a keen sense of what matters to humanity.
