A Mother Speaks, A Daughter Listens
In Felicia Mitchell's moving and insightful poetry collection, A Mother Speaks, A Daughter Listens, we're invited to share one mother-daughter dementia journey from the early days of a woman's life through years in a nursing home and also the emotional transformations that continue after a loved one's death. These poems, some created from the mother's words and all from the daughter's heart, invite us to see Mitchell's mother Audrey as a complete, albeit changed, woman at the close of her life-and also how the depth and complexity of Mitchell's love for her is enriched by understanding what remains, and remains transformative, even as a brain changes.
Case Hysteries
A collection of poems based on the voices of five women in Freud's case histories. The poems were written to memorialize the voices of women, and the stories offer insight into sexual trauma, repressed memories, and physical problems rooted in psychological distress.
Waltzing With Horses
"Reading Felicia Mitchell's stunning collection, Waltzing with Horses, is like spending a few life-changing hours with one of those wise women we read about in fairy tales. She knows the names of each plant and flower, and teaches us that every living thing, from the tiniest sparrow to a herd of wild horses, is sacred. And holiest of all, she whispers, is not only our connection to the earth, but to our deepest selves, and to every person we have ever loved." -Terri Kirby Erickson, author of A Lake of Light and Clouds and In the Palms of Angels.

American Theatre
This book concludes Gerald Bordman's acclaimed survey of American non-musical theatre. It deals with the years 1930 to 1970, a period when the number of yearly new plays was shrinking, but a period during which American drama as a whole entered the world stage and became a dominant force. With works like Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night, Tennessee William's A Streetcar Named Desire, and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, American theater finally reached adulthood both dramatically and psychologically. Bordman's lively, authoritative study covers every Broadway production, as well as every major off-Broadway show. His discussion moves season by season and show by show in chronological order; he offers plot synopses and details the physical production, directors, players, theaters, and newspaper reviews. This book and the preceding volumes of American Theatre stand as the premier history of American drama.
