Violet
Miranda: Girl Pirate (#1 of 4)
Written by Emily Pohl-Weary
Illustrated by Willow Dawson
In
response to the male-dominated comics industry’s lack of positive
role models for teen girls,Emily Pohl-Weary and Willow
Dawson envisioned Violet Miranda: Girl Pirate, a graphic novel
told in four-parts.
Violet
Miranda draws on the life stories of the most famous women pirates:
Anne Bonny and Mary Read. The girl protagonists, Violet and her
best friend Elsa Bonnet, take control of their lives--and pirate
ships--through their wiles and natural leadership abilities.
The
adventures all start with the first issue. Violet and Elsa are two
precocious girls who’ve grown up together on the isolated island
of Los Vagos. They’re fully aware that their loving fathers
were once fearsome pirates who managed to swindle the famed Calico
Jack out of a treasure chest just before retiring to live happily
ever after... Or so they think.

"Like
an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer directed by John Waters."--Michael
Turner (author of Hard Core Logo, The Pornographer’s Poem)
Award-winning author Emily Pohl-Weary brings us contemporary heroine
Sugar Jones in a sexy and spirited coming of age tale. After Sugar’s
rock star boyfriend dies, she spends sleepless nights in her basement
apartment, watching Parker Posey movies and talking to his ghost.
With her New Age mother and her blue-haired best friend hounding
her to get a job, Sugar digs herself out and connects with an eclectic
cast of urban heroes. Camcorder in hand, Sugar stands up to her
demons -- real and imagined -- and shakes the awful-sweet boy she
loved.

Girls
Who Bite Back: Witches, Mutants, Slayers and Freaks
Edited by Emily Pohl-Weary |
|
|
|
|
|

Girls Who Bite Back "is
like a disco ball, breaking down the popular image of the female
superhero into glittering shards and reflecting it back through
a fractured lens." --Now Magazine
Taking on the bombshell spies, slayers, witches and assassins
who are fighting their way into movies and television shows everywhere,
Girls Who Bite Back examines what these new role models for young
women are really about. Emily Pohl-Weary puts her unique stamp
on the field of speculative fiction and pop culture in this one-of-a-kind
anthology of short fiction, cultural analysis, comics and original
artwork. Girls Who Bite Back cuts through the layers of the new
"female power," questioning its corporate origins and
investigating issues of race and sexual orientation. And the book
goes a crucial step further by asking: If you don’t like
what’s out there now, what do you want to see?

Better
to Have Loved: The Life of Judith Merril
By Judith Merril and Emily Pohl-Weary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"All praise to hardworking,
self-taught astronomer Emily Pohl-Weary, who has helped her grandmother
become immortal; an honour Judith Merril earned, a punishment
she deserved, and a final joke on her that she would have loved."
--Globe and Mail
In 2002, Pohl-Weary completed her grandmother's autobiography
(Between the Lines). Judith Merril, known as "the little
mother of science fiction," started it before she passed
away in 1997, leaving an incomplete manuscript and 12 tapes worth
of interviews.
Merril burst onto the New York literary scene in 1948 with a disturbing
story about nuclear radiation. Her life was a microcosm of alternative
cultural and political movements. Read the book and learn how
early science fiction writers lived, argued, dated, mimeoed their
manifestos, learned step by step how to write stories, and (in
some cases) how to get paid for them.
