PRAISE FOR
The Sanctuary Of Artemis

The bringing together of history, myth and poetry makes a truly satisfying whole. I thought I�d be more intrigued with the poems than the context, but, in fact, I found them equally compelling.
— Holly Prado, author of From One to the Next

In this gorgeous collection, Thea Iberall creates a shimmering bridge between matter and spirit, heart and head, poet and world. She has opened my eyes to the possibilities of contextual poetry—I am eager to share this book with my students, my poet friends, and with any reader hungry to explore life�s mysteries.
— Gayle Brandeis, author of Fruitflesh: Seeds of Inspiration for Women Who Write, The Book of DeadBirds, and Delta Girls

[Thea] tells narrative stories using�simple words that mask hidden layers of meaning and emotion.
— OC Weekly

This collection of contextual poems explores the roots and origins of Western patriarchal culture through evolution, religion, neuroscience, history, mythology, symbolism, and linguistics. While the collection is broad in its exploration, the poems are intensely focused on a very personal journey through life.
