I think this might be the first colorful one I’ve done in this book. (Please ignore the moire. I tried my bag of tricks on it and gave up.)

I looked through a few old history textbooks in my “stuff for collage” pile and noticed that all the illustrations contained in them were of men. Hundreds and hundreds of pages of history, and not a single woman was depicted. If aliens landed on Earth, they could easily get the impression that women didn’t exist until sometime around the 1950s.
(I mean, I realize women are grievously underrepresented in history books, but I still expected at least one token ladyperson. Nope!)

But you, Iphigenia, upon your head
Will the Argives wreathe a crown
Like a heifer, red, white, unblemished,
They will slash your throat.
For sacrifice.
Found poem created from the text of Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis.

Push back upon the shelf
Of silence all your thoughts
and morbid doubt
because your lips are dumb
and
The world is better off without.
And the wind had ebbed away

And the wind
had ebbed away
and left
the wildest notes
the shame
the darkest waves
the lava tide.

On second thought I’m in no haste
To launch upon that boundless waste.
To drift unheeding day or night,
Or drop, like Jonah, out of sight.
