Poetics of Ascension: Enheduanna and Her Muse (Owl Magazine, Spring 2022)

Despite a long patriarchal literary history in which many female writers were silenced, dismissed, or otherwise denigrated, the first documented writer and poet was a high priestess and princess. Over 4000 years ago, Enheduanna wrote prolifically and to great acclaim. To date, 42 temple hymns and three poems to the moon god Nanna have been unearthed. Furthermore, Enheduanna's muse and spiritual sister, the Sumerian Goddess Inanna, was the subject of three long poems by the poet. In these lyrically rich works of art, Enheduanna reveals her devotion to Inanna and seeks to authentically represent Inanna in her complexity, including her darkest shadow aspects. Enheduanna's work restored Inanna's place in the cultural consciousness and her rightful position of supremacy within the pantheon of Sumerian gods.

With the weight of our surfboards under our arms, reassuring and close, we straddle the threshold between street and sea, and the magic hour before moonrise, assessing what awaits us. Four mothers, our children all temporarily occupied or nearly asleep, meeting for our monthly and year-long ritual of a full moon surf. As we paddle out, the wind switches, and a waist-high set comes in. Our bodies take over and we drop into the swell. It is 7:55 p.m., the moonrise begins in 13 minutes on the clear horizon just to the right of the storied Isles of Shoals on the New Hampshire seascape.
