Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman is a poet, author and independent scholar of the feminine mysteries who believes that poetic myth was originally intentioned as a magical tradition and ritual for the Moon Goddess which fell into disrepute with the advent of Apollocentric belief and Socratic thought.

She serves as the Senior Poetry Editor of Mused, the BellaOnline Literary Magazine and specializes in freelance articles devoted to myth and spirituality as well as the art and meaning of poetry in the twenty-first century. Publication credits include: Kimera, Zuzu´s Petals, Suite101.com, Writers Digest and Venusian Magazine.

She harbors a secret penchant for serpent pens and velvet and creates visual and textual collage as symbolism centered around the remnants of spirituality. She recently quit her full time corporate job to move nearer the feminine and is currently working on a book about her Mother.

The function of poetry is religious invocation of the Muse. Its use is the mixed exaltation and horror that her presence excites.
