Abstract

This reoccupation of an ancient myth is a rare example of collaborative dream-based fiction in which one author, Jay Joslin, dreamed the story and the other author, Donna Glee Williams, wrote it.

Donna Glee Williams

Pushcart Prize-nominee Donna Glee Williams graduated from Tulane University, then earned an MFA and PhD from LSU. Her 2023 eco-fable The Night Field (Mobius) is the product of many conversations with her long-time friend and mentor Jeremy Taylor. Her short fiction has received a nomination for the Pushcart Prize, finalist status multiple times in Writers of the Future, Honorable Mention in Gardner Dozois’s Best Science Fiction of the Year anthology, and performance onstage in Hollywood as a finalist in SCI Fest LA. In the past, she’s worked as turnabout crew on a schooner, librarian, environmental activist, registered nurse, educator, and creative coach. These days she mostly walks in the woods, writes, and leads dream groups in her little cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Jay Joslin

Jay Joslin is a dreamwork professional, essayist, and facilitator of interfaith ritual in the Blue Ridge Mountains. He is the founder of a trauma-informed long duration residential recovery program, savoring stargazing and bird-watching in his downtime. He has previously published collections of writing, and is currently patching together a little something that celebrates the weird around and within us.
