Where do you start with what Eulalia has contributed to this site since becoming a member? I suppose logically the best place to start is at the beginning...
I doubt if many people can remember what they were doing on January 2nd 2011. Having just joined Eulalia posted her first poem...Crucifixa. This is what people said..

"Wow! As the new kid on the Cross, it's thrilling just to see my name with the fateful
word "condemned"! It's like all my fantasies are becoming real!
They go back to when I was twelve, when our teacher gave us a pretty strong, blow-by-blow account of the Crucifixion of Jesus. I clung on in fascination to every detail. Soon I was playing out little private stories with my body in the gym or the swimming pool. As I grew, I learnt more and more about Crucifixion - especially that the Romans crucified women and girls, and how they tortured us.
I love playing with words, painting word-pictures, so I've put what I've learnt into a poem,Crucifixa, that tries to imagine and express, as accurately as I can (historically, bodily and psychologically) the experience of a girl being crucified on the Ostian Way, outside the gate of Rome. I hope my Masters will like it - please correct me if there's anything that doesn't ring true.
Yours submissively"

That is very, very impressive. The images are similar to ones conjured up by Willowfall."

"Sure, but in my fantasies, I'm always the victim. That's why it's so lovely being "condemned", I don't want to be an onlooker or even an Executioner. I wish I could opt out of being promoted!" (sulk).
Trust me to question the workings of The System - that's what gets me crucified!
But never mind - Melissa's found me this lovely avatar - thank's M! - so, whatever the small print says, I'll always go on being"

So what did Eulalia say? Oh yes she loves playing with words!!..What did Willowfall say? "So dive in and help out."
In my next post we will look at a selection of stories, poems, short essays, and translations that are now in the new archive. Meanwhile here is Crucifixa..attached
