Anita L. Wynn is a huge talent. She's only written two books so far, both published in the last 2 years. her first book was SPEAKING IN TONGUES, which she wrote under the pen name of Autolykos. After that book i was able to convince her to drop the pen name (especially since a search on Autolykos would lead people to literally millions of hits on some ancient god or something like that). Her second book, WHITE HORSES, was published under her real name of Anita L. Wynn and both are available from amazon or www.barnesandnoble.com
i was fortunate enough to be able to write the introduction to WHITE HORSES.
her work is gut-wrenching and angular...heart-pounding and uplifting. enjoy!
For Elizabeth Ann
( in memory of my daughter, whose death was in her birth)
What color was the sky
the day I first discovered you
lurking quietly,
stowed away
in the soft darkness
of my belly?
What color were the clouds
that gathered 'round
your perfect, pretty head
as I lunged headlong,
unheeding
your safety or mine?
How black was the earth
they laid you in,
how green the sod quilt
that covered your tiny white box,
while I was not by--
as I stared
at the white ceiling
in the sterile room,
whispering to any god who would listen
in the cerulean sky?
