Great. What is it?
I love it....not commercially viable.
Isn't it a little dark?

Pixilated! - Dr. Elizabeth Richards

And Dr. Mildred Undertwang says "a duck with the soul of a motorcycle." A duck with the soul of a motorcycle: she's only joking, of course, but why can't I say things like this?
- Death Waits

The poems wrestle with the problem of developing a personally meaningful mythology in as culture glutted with endless variations on a few patriarchal myths. Melanie is a muse of poetry from the feminine wild zone.
- Lady Soubterraine

Pulling at the strands that make up the fibre of our culture, Undertwang weaves a picture in which the heroine is vibrant. The women that Melanie conjures for Lillian are freed from their supporting roles by her raw disregard for sexual and religious boundaries (for instance, her mischevious intelligence locates the brain of God in Mary Magdalene's cunt).
- D. Cameron Gainsburger, E.A.M.

Surpassing gender stereotypes, Dr. Mildred Undertwang leaves in her wake a world in which God is a woman whose bellybutton is the sun where unborn babies swim. In this world, mundane 'woman's work' is revealed to have hidden powers: a pregnant mother swats flies to feed her foetus woven by a spider from frog spit and dust bunnies.
- Rev.Charles Pimm
