Each poem is a smartly annotated, hauntingly revisionist homage to Jane Eyre. Martinez\u2019s astounding poems are literary, conversational, personal, fun, as she confidently transports her Janes from the Moors to Macy\u2019s, from Thornfield Hall to the world of tattoos.<br \/>\n\u2014Denise Duhamel, author of <em>Blowout<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>There is some kind of serious magic at work in this wonderful book. Reading it, I feel as if I am waking up in another world where Gothic sensibility of Jane Eyre joins the surreal of contemporary American culture. The experience is nothing short of intoxicating. I can\u2019t wait to read more of Rita Maria Martinez\u2019s work.<br \/>\n\u2014Nin Andrews, author of <em>Why God is a Woman<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Rita Maria Martinez\u2019s The Jane and Bertha in Me gives an unusual twist to the well-known characters from Jane Eyre, envisioning Jane at the guidance counselor, Bertha getting a makeover. These persona poems give us greater insight into the minds of madwoman and governess alike and even minor characters like Blanche and Alice, with beautiful, lush language and empathetic vision. Even casual fans of Bront\u00eb\u2019s great book will enjoy this lively re-imagining.<br \/>\n\u2014Jeannine Hall Gailey, author of <em>The Robot Scientist\u2019s Daughter<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Jane_and_Bertha_cover_medium.jpg?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-271\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-271\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Jane_and_Bertha_cover_medium.jpg?resize=200%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The Jane and Bertha in Me\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Jane_and_Bertha_cover_medium.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Jane_and_Bertha_cover_medium.jpg?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Jane and Bertha in Me<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a name=\"PayPal\"><\/a><br \/>\nGet a Signed Personalized copy from the Author<\/p>\n<p>Using <strong>PayPal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>$17.00 (for readers in the USA)<\/p>\n<p><em>Friends and readers in the UK and elsewhere outside the USA, we recommend that you please buy from Amazon.com<\/em><\/p>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input name=\"cmd\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"_xclick\" \/> <input name=\"business\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"ritamartinez@comeonhome.org\" \/><input name=\"lc\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"US\" \/> <input name=\"item_name\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"Jane and Bertha in Me \/ by Rita Maria Martinez\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"item_number\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"RMJandB002\" \/> <input name=\"amount\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"17.00\" \/> <input name=\"currency_code\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"USD\" \/><br \/>\n<input name=\"button_subtype\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"services\" \/> <input name=\"shipping\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"3.20\" \/> <input name=\"bn\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHosted\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><input name=\"on0\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"Personalized Signature\" \/>What would you like your <strong>Personalized Signature<\/strong> to say ?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><input maxlength=\"200\" name=\"os0\" type=\"text\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><input alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/btn\/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/en_US\/i\/scr\/pixel.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<\/form>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rita Maria Martinez&#8217;s first full length book The Jane and Bertha in Me has been published by Kelsay Books and now available directly from the Author or from Amazon.com &#8211; Press Release and Interview with the author &#8211; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Rita Maria Martinez\u2019s The Jane and Bertha in Me is a Rubik\u2019s Cube (TM) [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-280","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":533,"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/280\/revisions\/533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/comeonhome.org\/wordpress_development\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
