The Lost Chronicles of Slue Foot Sue

Award-winning poet Katherine Hoerth's 'The Lost Chronicles of Slue Foot Sue' opens with a poem presenting the birth of a wild Texas red-headed woman who springs full-grown from an ear of corn. She rides away--no doubt on one of those quarter horses on the cover--to vanish in the distance on the High Plains of Texas with the skyline of Amarillo on the horizon.

Katherine Hoerth's vision of mythical women stretches to the moon and back. These giantesses rollick, gallop, swim, sass and morph, cutting their own paths before the eyes of astonished men. Experiencing the antics of such mega-women as Slue Foot Sue,

Lobo Girl, and Serena finds us re-aware of the ancient myth-making practice and delighting in Hoerth's imaginative flair for exercising the

art. Her womenfolk tickle our fancy with a giant feather.
