Judith Arcana on Woman-Stirred Radio

Please join Woman-Stirred Radio, this Thursday at 4:30 (EST) for an interview with writer and poet Judith Arcana.

In the years before the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v Wade, Judith Arcana was a Jane, a member of the underground network of women that provided safe abortions services.

Judith's latest book of poems, What if Your Mother, ...sparks and burns with the hidden language and stories of women (Minnie Bruce Pratt).

Grace Paley writes: What I love about this important book is how the work Judith began in Chicago years ago has deepened in poetry and prose with love for the lives of women.

Judith Arcana, herself, writes: This happened in the years I was writing What if Your Mother; I began to move my writing into the center of my life. I began to create an image of myself as an old woman, writing. Now I'm burnishing that image, working and dreaming myself into this coming of age, time among the witches and spinners, the magic queens and wise crones. I'm imagining myself into an old woman, a generative old woman who makes art with words, makes words out of years, makes years of words into poems and stories.
