Publisher's Synopsis
Ruth Mountaingrove was a songwriter, musician and composer, artist and photographer, editor and publisher of WomanSpirit Magazine and The Blatant Image Magazine of Feminist Photography. She was also a playwright, Humboldt State University radio show producer, tech teacher, multimedia performer, and above all, a lifelong poet. Here are poems collected from friends, family and the University of Oregon archives, along with prints, photographs and art pieces. Ruth was a passionate lesbian feminist, and a very creative artist and writer who passed away in 2016 in Arcata, California at the age of 93. With a generous grant from the Ink People in Arcata, California, this collection is our tribute to her as an outstanding maverick working for women's rights, equality and freedom in all things through art, music and writing.
