The Beatrix Gates by Rachel Pollack

The Beatrix Gates by Rachel Pollack

Rachel Pollack is a sorceress, a wizard with words who spins together the spiritual, the political, and the passionate in her unique, indeed inimitable, tales. An award-winning SF and Fantasy author, she is also an esteemed Tarot Grand Master with devotees and students around the world. A progressive voice in the transgender community and a trusted guide to the ancient traditions of shamanism, she writes of shimmering and dangerous worlds that have never been imagined before--much less explored. Her queer cult favorite "The Beatrix Gates" draws on magic realism, quantum science, memoir, and myth to tell the story of a girl born not in the wrong body but in the wrong universe.

Plus... "Trans Central Station," written especially for this volume, is Pollack's personal and penetrating take on the transgender experience then and now--and tomorrow? "Burning Beard" is a fiercely revisionist Old Testament tale of plague and prophecy told through a postmodern prose of, shall we say, many colors. "The Woman Who Didn't Come Back" is about just what it says it's about.

And Featuring: Our Outspoken Interview, which tells us all about comics history, the automotive origins of Tarot, the benefits of Nerd celebrity, and why the Sun exists. It will be on the test.

Rachel Pollack is the author of thirty-two books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, published in fifteen languages. She is a poet, an award-winning novelist, an authority on the modern interpretation of Tarot cards, and a Tarot card artist. She has published fifteen books on Tarot and divination, including 78 DEGREES OF WISDOM, often called the Bible of Tarot reading, read by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. SEEKER won the COVR Award at the 2006 New Age Trade Show. Her SHINING TRIBE TAROT, designed and drawn by Rachel herself, draws on tribal and prehistoric images from six continents and 50,000 years. She has had several shows of her artwork, both Tarot and other images. She has taught classes and workshops in Europe, North America, and Australia. Her novel GODMOTHER NIGHT won the World Fantasy Award. Her earlier novel, UNQUENCHABLE FIRE, won Britain's famed Arthur C. Clarke Award. Rachel grew up in Poughkeepsie, the setting for UNQUENCHABLE FIRE. After nineteen years living in Europe, she returned, in 1990, to live in the Hudson Valley. With Mary K. Greer, Rachel has taught at the famed Omega Institute for 23 years. She also is a senior faculty member for the Master of Fine Arts degree from Goddard College.
