She was born around 615 B.C. to an aristocratic family on the Greek island of Lesbos. Evidence suggests that she had several brothers, married a wealthy man named Cercylas, and had a daughter named Cleis. She spent most of her adult life in the city of Mytilene on Lesbos where she ran an academy for unmarried young women. Sappho's school devoted itself to the cult of Aphrodite and Eros, and Sappho earned great prominence as a dedicated teacher and poet. A legend from Ovid suggests that she threw herself from a cliff when her heart was broken by Phaon, a young sailor, and died at an early age. Other historians posit that she died of old age around 550 B.C.The history of her poems is as speculative as that of her biography. She was known in antiquity as a great poet: Plato called her "the tenth Muse" and her likeness appeared on coins. It is unclear whether she invented or simply refined the meter of her day, but today it is known as "Sapphic" meter. Her poems were first collected into nine volumes around the third century B.C., but her work was lost almost entirely for many years. Merely one twenty-eight-line poem of hers has survived intact, and she was known principally through quotations found in the works of other authors until the nineteenth century. In 1898 scholars unearthed papyri that contained fragments of her poems. In 1914 in Egypt, archeologists discovered papier-mâché coffins made from scraps of paper that contained more verse fragments attributed to Sappho.Three centuries after her death the writers of the New Comedy parodied Sappho as both overly promiscuous and lesbian. This characterization held fast, so much so that the very term "lesbian" is derived from the name of her home island. Her reputation for licentiousness would cause Pope Gregory to burn her work in 1073. Because social norms in ancient Greece differed from those of today and because so little is actually known of her life, it is difficult to unequivocally answer such claims. Her poems about Eros, however, speak with equal force to men as well as to women.Sappho is not only one of the few women poets we know of from antiquity, but also is one of the greatest lyric poets from any age. Most of her poems were meant to be sung by one person to the accompaniment of the lyre (hence the name, "lyric" poetry). Rather than addressing the gods or recounting epic narratives such as those of Homer, Sappho's verses speak from one individual to another. They speak simply and directly to the "bittersweet" difficulties of love. Many critics and readers alike have responded to the personal tone and urgency of her verses, and an abundance of translations of her fragments are available today.From https://poets.org/poet/sappho. For more information about Sappho:“Sappho Fragment 16”: https://thebookbindersdaughter.com/2019/03/02/sappho-fragment-16/“Sappho”: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/sappho“Who Was Sappho?”: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/03/16/girl-interrupted

Luz Méndez de la Vega - Guatemalteca (1919 - 2012)

In this episode I have the exquisite pleasure of exploring the art of erotic literature writing with Malin James. She offers a wide range of insights into the inner workings of erotic writing and we agree that it’s vital to sustain and evolve this ancient craft into the digital age. About Malin: Malin James is an essayist, blogger, and short story writer. Her work has appeared in Electric Literature, Bust Magazine, MUTHA, Queen Mob’s Tea House and Medium, as well as in anthologies for Cleis, Sweetmeats Press and others.

Outland 1313 Part One Betty has been stranded on Outland 1313 for over 100 days, surviving on nothing but meager stolen scraps, defending herself with whatever the landscape offers. She treks through torrential rainstorms and over an unforgiving volcanic landscape to sneak into the vile “Blood Hound’s” encampment for food. But today is different. Betty, possibly the only survivor of the surveyor spaceship called, The Scout, sees an opportunity to escape. A mining ship, being stripped of its oar and miners is a common occurrence on Outland 1313, but when Betty sees a miner making a daring escape, her own chances of survival instantly double. If she can just get him to safety. But there is one problem, while the mining ship had been under attack for several days, Travis was unable to take his prescribed inhibitors, and now his libido is coming back with a vengeance. Betty is forced to take the miner’s “problem” into her own hands.

Women and Words Overview 5-10 March 2017   Andi and Jove are of the opinion that adulting can be difficult. They are also passionate about supporting writers and artists, and think fandoms rock. Plus, they wonder if maybe Fiona Zedde will ever take them with her on her travels.    5 Mar.: Author Heather McVea self publishes her work, and she broke down the costs that go into creating a book (not counting the countless hours that go into writing one). Some may find this eye-opening.  Women and Words link HERE  Heather McVea’s website    6 Mar.: Author and Women and Wordster Lynette Mae on privilege and “tolerance” and how it’s used.  Women and Words link HERE  You can also find Lynette Mae’s writings on Huffington Post. Just do a search on her name.    7 Mar.: Author and Women and Wordster D Jordan Redhawk did an amazing breakdown of how she choreographs a fight scene, this one involving space opera battles.  Women and Words link HERE  D Jordan Redhawk’s website    9 Mar.: Author and Women and Wordster Fiona Zedde has photos and a bit of info about her current travels around Africa. And she’s also managing to write!  Women and Words link HERE  Fiona Zedde’s website    10 Mar.: Author and Women and Wordster Andi Marquette did a long-ass post on some of the amazing she saw and experienced at ClexaCon.  Women and Words link HERE  Andi Marquette’s website  Andi’s fangirl Tumblr    Also, Women and Words updated its New Releases and Coming Attractions lists.    And Sacchi Green’s call for submissions for best lesbian erotica anthology (Cleis) is still going, through 20 Mar.   

My guest this week is Brenda Knight - publisher for Cleis Press and Viva Editions. She is also an author. Her latest book is called, "Be A Good In The World". She was also part of the team who made the world a better place with Random Acts of Kindness. Brenda went from almost being a buyer for a merchant marine to talking her way into a job at Harper-Collins (working for Rupert Murdoch, which is a story for a different podcast) and about eight years later moved into indie publishing and eventually over to Cleis Press – which is about to celebrate 35 years of being in business this summer.
