OVA

By Isabella Russell-Ides

OVA -- Beginnings. Begats. Eggs. Entries. Seedlings. Offspring. Legacies. Leavings. Poems, Stories, & Plays. OVA -- The literary trail of a trickster feminist dakini, maestra of shapeshifting writing styles, and gleeful genre masher. Whether it's road-tripping with the goddess, dancing with the bears in the piney woods, head-tripping with the first woman president, or copping to the occasional drop-down of a Zen angel, the pages of OVA crackle with mischief and love and love's mischief. Isabella Russell-Ides is noted for her distinct Kama Sutra southern drawl. Listen for it when you read her. There is lilt and lift and continental drift as she drives Pacific Coast Highway 1 or moves sideways into the heart of Texas. This collection includes her critically acclaimed tour de force, Coco & Gigi , as well as a reprise of her breakout book of poetry, Getting Dangerously Close to Myself , a landmark in the third coast literary renaissance of the 1980s. Currently out of print, we are thrilled to bring it back in this volume. Artfully designed with archival photographs and historical signposts, this book charts the course of a vibrant literary life. Occasional "spark" notes serve as field guides to the inner workings of both the writings and the writer. Although, getting lost in Isabella's "roadside distractions" is highly recommended. ~~~ Isabella Russell-Ides is also the author of two novels of speculative fiction, White Monkey Chronicles and The Godma's Daughters . Both books are International Book Award Winners and available on Amazon.
