It’s the end of the world as we know it, and by the end of the day I will have put away quarts of roasted tomatoes, fermented pickles, and beans. And as I work I tell the veg stories.
Yum!

Some stories sit like a stone inside of us.
We carry them in our bodies, our breath, our silence.
Telling them is essential for us and our audiences, but how do we tell them safely, clearly, and without falling apart?

The Minotaur. Daedalus. The Sea Itself.
Greek Myths are alive and well in these retellings by Laura Packer. Expect to meet heroes and monsters, the patient and the lost.
Pandora. Polyphemus. Penelope. Psyche.
Original retellings of Greek myths, as vital and stirring now as they were then.
