Welcome to chris wind’s website: socially conscious prose and poetry; feminist critique of the Bible, Shakespeare, mythology, and fairy tales; fictionalized women’s history.

(If you’re looking for chris wind, the composer, go to www.chriswind.com.)

Actresses looking for fresh, new, original audition pieces: take a look at Soliloquies: The Lady Doth Indeed Protest  (Shakespeareanesque soliloquies), Thus Saith Eve (monologues, two of which, “I am Eve” and “I am Mary”, can be performed with an audio collage background; the background for “I am Eve” is here and the background for “I am Mary” can simply be a performance of “Ave Maria” – listen here), and maybe Deare Sister and Snow White Gets Her Say. Excerpts from each of these four collections can be found here. Also, “Amelia’s Nocturne” can be performed as a theatrical piece: a simple set consisting of a writing table with an inkwell and note paper, the music (live piano and voice in the corner) woven into the monologue. Directors looking for feminist theatre, note that Soliloquies: the lady doth indeed protest is available as a stage play.

Painters and sculptors: take a look at Paintings and Sculptures - if you’re interested ‘actualizing’ any of the paintings and sculptures for exhibit, contact me!

English teachers: consider Soliloquies: The Lady Doth Indeed Protest for your Shakespeare unit and UnMythed for your mythology unit.

Women’s history scholars: you might be interested in Deare Sister.
