Taming the Butterfly

By Elizabethe Kelley

Elizabethe Kelley is an Associate Professor at The Sage Colleges in Troy, New York. A writer, storyteller and educator, Elizabethe's research, writing and artwork appears in cutting-edge creative and critical regional, national and international publications in print and online. She teaches social and environmental justice discourse, storytelling, writing and multi-ethnic rhetorical approaches, including traditional, indigenous modes of communication, teaching and learning. In both fiction and poetry, her writing inhabits permeable worlds through narrative voices that walk through an Appalachian and Native heritage that is indelible among stories so often excluded from the history of American culture. This collection of poems calls together another journey familiar to writers, traversing ancient through contemporary texts, so that writing, itself joins into a conversation with the past that is always before us, awaiting a future we cannot see from within our own cocooned human experience.
