Medusa Retold by Sarah Wallis
"In this vivid retelling of the well-known Greek myth, Wallis captures Medusa's spirit of fury borne of oppression and shapes it into a contemporary story of female rage. Medusa Retold is gripping, raw and essential reading for the modern-day feminist." JL Corbett, editor of Idle Ink.
"Sarah Wallis is a very fine poet and storytellerShe deftly re-inhabits the Medusa myth, losing none of the magic and mystery and yet giving it a contemporary and affecting resonance. She salutes the ancient gods, particularly Athena but also deals with 21st century questions of identity and gender. A miniature epic full of wonderful writing." James Nash, poet, recent collections, "Some Things Matter: 63 Sonnets "(2012); "A Bench for Billie Holiday" (2018), both from Valley Press.;"A wild and writhing reimagination of the Medusa myth for the modern age. Mesmerising. Compelling." Tanya Shadrick, editor of Wild Woman Swimming.
