In The Whistling Girls & Crowing Hens Series, two straight married women risk families and careers, leave society’s compulsory heterosexuality in 1972, and boldly survive in an uncharted, intimate relationship. Jan and Bea experience historic events in the women’s movement and gay/lesbian world in their 39 years together. Each book presents deeper levels on major topics and adventures.
Nan Lundeen's powerful collection of thirty-eight poems introduces the reader to women who refuse to wear pantyhose, who rebuff the duty train, and who discover the magic of a redemptive red bra.
Her poetry celebrates the goddess in her many guises, the Earth swathed in its solstitial shrouds, and the power of a women's circle. It reclaims the Persephone-Demeter myth as two independent women and celebrates the “unafraid dark soul” on the longest night of the year.

“Indigenous” refers not only to cultures and peoples, but also to a way of being. The indigenous way is the embodied ancient memory of how to be fully human, and it’s embodied in your soul, no matter who your ancestors are. Hidden deep and dormant within your indigenous soul is your identity and your life’s purpose, longing for you to remember them and put them into action.
