Publisher's Synopsis
We'Moon: Gaia Rhythms for Womyn, the iconic feminist datebook, is a best-selling astrological moon calendar, earth-spirited handbook in natural rhythms, and visionary collection of women's creative work, now in its 33rd year of publication. Through inspired word and image, We'Moon 2014: Radical Balance speaks to our dangerously polarized moment in history by exploring the powerful idea of synergy: bringing extremes together so completely that an entirely new solution is born; walking the radical tightrope of oneness. Each year We'Moon features art and writing submitted by women from around the world in response to the theme announced in the Call for Contributions, and rooted in the archetypes of the Tarot's major arcana. The 2014 theme is based on Tarot card #14: Art / Temperance.-a rich image of synergy reframed for We'Moon 2014 as Radical Balance-and inviting visual and literary musings on creative solutions, alchemy, tipping points, border crossings, healing. The selected submissions are integrated into 13 moon chapters exploring aspects of these central ideas, and shaped by the chosen work. Dedication to an interactive editorial process makes We'Moon a truly co-creative entity as well as an artful, focused exploration of women's experience and perspectives. We'Moon 2014 gathers the creative offerings of over 150 gifted contributors, including writings by Rose Flint, Robin Rose Bennett, Liliana Darwin López, Medea Benjamin Claire Blotter, Shae Savoy, and art by Modupe, Kay Kemp, Betty LaDuke, Kat Beyer, Nancy Watterson and Denise Kester.
