Dissent University of Pennsylvania Press But what about all those other longings which after a while marriage did nothing much to appease? ![]() It was necessary to have one best friend in a hostile world, one person you'd be loyal to no matter what, one person who'd always be loyal to you. Take, for example, what the heroine-Isadora Wing-has to say about marriage (all quotations from the New American Library edition, 2003): I was not against marriage. But Fear of Flying stood out it caused a singular commotion at the time-for some, as a historic breakthrough in what women could write about and, perhaps more important, how they could say it for others, as a particularly repugnant example of collapsing moral standards in America. Fear of Flying was reviewed by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt in the New York Times (November 6, 1973) together with Jane Howard's A Different Woman and by Michael Wood in the New York Review of Books (March 21, 1974) with Barbara Raskin's Loose Ends and Grace Paley's Enormous Changes at the Last Minute. ![]() (Ms.)reading Erica Jong's Fear of Flying (Ms.)reading Erica Jong's Fear of Flying ![]() Through the Ivory Gate by Rita Dove6/30/2023 ![]() Her other books of poetry include Collected Poems 1974-2004, Sonata Mulattica, American Smooth, On the Bus with Rosa Parks, Mother Love, Grace Notes, Museum, The Yellow House on the Corner and Selected Poems she has also published a collection of stories, Fifth Sunday, a novel, Through the Ivory Gate, a collection of her Poet Laureate lectures, The Poet’s World, and a verse drama, The Darker Face of the Earth, which had its premiere at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 1996 and was produced at the Kennedy Center and the Royal National Theatre, among others.

It was kind of a 'Cinderella' experience for me. I submitted it and with a little tweaking, Ellorascave sent me an acceptance letter. I wrote my first Sci Fi romance and Ral's Woman came to be. I'm a series fan! I kept writing for fun, wrote MANY books and then in 2009 I decided to try to get published. I wrote my first book which will probably never see the light of day in the early 90's. My first book was started after I read a real bomb of a book that ticked me off with really horrible characters and a plot that was shabby at best and I thought. I wrote poetry in my teens and then moved on to short stories. I moved on to John Saul, Stephen King, Richard Laymon, Agatha Christie, and then found romance.
