| Publisher Description: Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's poetry has been widely published. Her fourth poetry collection, The Faust Woman Poems, follows one woman's Faustian adventures during the 1960s and '70s, through Women's Liberation and the return of the Goddess. Her memoir, The Sister from Below: When the Muse Gets Her Way tells stories of her pushy muse. She is the author of The Motherline: Every Woman's Journey to find Her Female Roots. Lowinsky is a Jungian Analyst and member of the San Francisco Jung Institute where she has taught a poetry workshop, Deep River, for many years. She is co-editor, with Patricia Damery, of the essay collection Marked by Fire: Stories of the Jungian Way. She is also Poetry Editor of Psychological Perspectives, a publication of the Los Angeles Jung Institute. She lectures and gives writing workshops in many settings and blogs about poetry and life at sisterfrombelow.com. Recipe for a superb chapbook: Sing a song of home, of the places that have held you. Lament the haunted Shoah-torn dwellings that could not hold, and invoke the poets that gathered the remnants of grief. Create a dirge for the loss of your home where the great power animals and spirits hovered, and give the home a voice to wail your leaving. Celebrate the husband who makes a house a home and lovemaking that brings fire to the everyday. Conjure character and richness out of loss, moving back and forth through time in anguish and joy, as though all times were this one. Descend to the deep where you are swallowed and spat out-whole. Find solace in a new garden amid the unexpected. I heartfully recommend that you join Naomi Lowinsky in this powerful, finely crafted journey, as The Little House on Stilts Remembers.
