Missed Her
<div><P>Ivan E. Coyote is a master storyteller and performer; her beautiful, funny stories about growing up a lesbian butch in the Canadian north have attracted big audiences whether gay, straight, or otherwise. <I>Missed Her</I> is Ivan's fifth story collection, following 2008's Lambda-nominated <I>The Slow Fix</I> and <I>Bow Grip</I>, her novel that was named a Stonewall Honor Book by the American Library Association. Whether discussing the politics of being a butch with a pet lapdog or berating a gay newspaper for considering butches and trans people as "extreme," Ivan traverses issues of gender and identity with a wistful, perceptive eye.</P></div>
