The 11 short stories are written by writer, filmmaker, video & performance artist, Erica Schreiner (http://www.ericaschreiner.com/). Schreiner's collection of narrative performance poems encompass themes including the mystical world, Source, the Universe, quest for meaning, love, death, severing and growth. Each story has an interpretive, complex and original drawing created by artist, performer, and owner of The Living Gallery, Nyssa Frank (www.nyssafrank.com). Arrows, literally and symbolically, is a theme shared throughout the writing and depicted in the illustrations. Thick with metaphor, at times, characters in the stories, remove their arrows and shoot them into the sky, or lay them out in a row in representation of love and vulnerability. One story in particular can be accurately summed up by its title, "I am a Woman with Horse Legs, Awkwardly Carrying my Bow and Arrow."
