Pat Parnell is a poet, retired professor, and lifelong Catholic who was dissatisfied with the traditional image of God as male figure with overwhelmingly male characteristics. Pat has found female imagery in the Bible and in other faith traditions. She's used them to deepen and broaden who own faith and she's put them into a series of poems. Her new collection is called "Snake Woman and Other Explorations, Findind the Female in Divinity," published by Peter E. Randall. www.perpublisher.com
