  Judy Grahn
Grahn is a "working-class poet," but she is neither a socialist-realist nor a slumming idealist.
For a poet like feminist Judy Grahn, who is dissatisfied not only with the language already in the world but also with the world itself, poetry can alter through language the relations between the audience and the world by transforming the meanings of words and symbols and thus how we experience them.
Grahn's use of repetition is also in certain ways representative of feminist writers in general: repetition and transformation occur with fair frequency, for example, in the work of writers as diverse as Rich, Audre Lorde, Pat Parker, Helene Cixous, Gertrude Stein, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

 About Judy Grahn
Judy Grahn is no different in this respect than other feminists in the country, but her ability to speak as a lesbian was certainly encouraged by the large gay community in San Francisco and the Spirit of social action that had been there from its earliest days.
Judy Grahn developed her poetics in the frame of a more self-consciously feminist poetry - one that she helped to create - and, although not usually associated with the literary events described in the rest of this book, she represents a logical outgrowth of them.
Judy Grahn has been a pioneer in the field of gay cultural history: her explorations not just of the present manifestations of gay life but the origins of its signs and codes have had far-reaching consequences for the gay imagination.

While she talks about women as sacred, and our relationship with Nature in a way that could certainly be described as a relationship with divinity, my spirit, mind and senses could not fully grasp the deep and far-reaching aspects of her theory until I had framed it for myself as a theology.
I realized that metaformic theology, an expansion of Judy Grahn’s metaformic theory (1993, 1999) was also becoming a methodology as I moved through this work.
Grahn defines this concept by noting that cultural differences, or “othering”, gain their intensity from the fact that seclusion’s principles are obverse, resulting in a paradox; what one people revere or worship may be viewed as filthy, shameful or deadly by another (Grahn 1999).

 MOLTXIBIT / Menstrual Synchrony: Blood, Bread...and "Menstrual Mind?"
But, just as more than 300 years have passed since the synchronization of pendulum clocks had first been observed, it may be another 300 years before any “theory of general synchrony” is formulated, and where menstruation will fit into it, is anybody’s guess.
It’s interesting to note that Grahn makes frequent references to Dogon beliefs and customs in her book; the same Dogon (a people in Mali, West Africa), in which Strassmann found no lunar influence on menstrual synchrony; nor, in fact any menstrual synchrony at all.
Both Twilfong and Grahn use menstrual synchrony as a way of interpreting the distant past and understanding the origins of human culture, giving importance, and even centrality, to menstruation.
