Book: Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves
Synopsis: A collection of fables in the literary tradition of Italo Calvino (if he were a Taoist seeker), "Lost Cantos" brings together medicine men, monks, immortals, witches, seekers, souls in various stages of their cycles in and out of lived-life, and the occasional talking animal, all searching for the meaning of it all and each other. Here, the well, the prairie, the mountains (the Ouroboros mountains, of course), the pond over which a swan swims continuously as she keeps vigil for the newly dead, each fable is a meditation on love, death, growth, pain, identity, self, spirit and the natural world, as seen from the perspectives of the primal, the celestial or the spiritual. Fragile and beautifully strong, the "Lost Cantos" are tales and mythology for anyone seeking stories for a larger life. Pat Conroy writes, "Her realm is timeless and enchanted and braided togethter with all the power and seduction of myth herself. Maggie Schein writes like a fallen angel, and I was there on the night of her birth."
