Poet Julie Moulds has battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma for years, through remissions, recurrences, and a bone marrow transplant. In The Woman with a Cubed Head, Moulds summons up an exotic band of kindred spirits to accompany her as she engages the forces of darkness. Here are the loves of her life, from Mary, Mother of God, to Baba Yaga, the evil Russian witch. More like the Monty Python Flying Circus than the Knights of the Round Table, assembled here are characters from folk tales, myth, Moulds' favorite childhood books, icons of her Catholic upbringing, as well as her personae--Iva with steel-toed boots on, and the indefatigable Dog. In poems of wit, spirit, and attitude, in language that is sensual, fresh, and unabashed, Julie Moulds goes forth, tilting with real windmills.
