The Wood Wife by Terri Windling

"You're a true artist, and artists always create themselves to begin with; then the more wildly inventive you are, the more you feel called upon to reinvent yourselves."
- Dorian by Will Self.

(The only good words I got out of that gawdawful book.
But it reminds me of the main character in the book below.)

You're welcome, glad it helped.

By the way, I just bought The Wicker Man, which I think you recommened to me. Thanks for pointing it out, it was great.

I liked The Wood Wife as well, but I find that as the distance between the time I read it and the present grows the things I remember the most are the setting itself, the arid southwest, and the house of the poet with all those quotes hanging on the walls. I want to do the same with the quotes.

I was in Arizona last January, and ,although I didn't get to see as much of it as I wanted, I liked it. :)

Those are things sticking out in my mind too. And the rabbit girl, Thumper. She was great.

If I'm not careful I'll pack a bag and just disappear there. Forget about preparation and money, just wander (yeah, yeah, I know everyone's sure I wouldn't last a week, lol).
