My first post on CruxForums, back at the start of 2011, was a longish poem, ‘Crucifixa’, imagining the experience of a young woman as she hangs crucified – for whatever reason, that no longer matters – beside the Ostian Way. Two fine artists have honoured it with their wonderful illustrations:

A piece of prose with which I introduced myself and told how I’d come to discover my fascination with martyrdom and being crucified can be found here:

Another long poem, perhaps my ‘deepest’ explores the conflicting feelings and emotions of a young martyr as she faces the terrible instrument on which she will be tortured to death:

My three very varied poems on one of my favourite themes, the legend of Andromeda, are collected in:
Beautiful, Naked, and Chained to a Rock

A volunteer slavegirl waits in her Master’s dungeon
(with wonderful images by Ascanio)

The poems I’ve mentioned, and many more (including an appendix with some of my ‘grin songs’), can be found in my anthology:
Eulalia's Book

and an earlier collection:
