"Molly Likovich and Marcia L. Ruiz's collaboration "Not a Myth," is an initiation into magic. These poems and accompanying illustrations map alternative paths to wonder. There is a sense of awe here about age-old stories, the forest, love, heartache, travels, and healing. The ordinary is made uncanny, the ancient is brought into the present. A beautiful book for those interested in fairy tales, witchcraft, and enchantment."
-writer Defne Çizakça
"Not A Myth combines fantasy and the real world in such a way to make everyone feel as though they are living in a storybook. The combination of poetry and art sucks the reader in and makes us want to stay forever."
-Liz Zarb (author of A Meditation on Mortality)
"Not a Myth is a wonderfully magical collection of poetry and illustrations that will leave you feeling like you went on an adventure without moving an inch. The art and poetry do a fantastic job of building an enchanted world of dreams."
-BookTuber Bridget Barnsley
"A nature collage made up of enchanted forest floor findings, bold women, and powerful magic. Truly captivating."
-Erin Anastasia (author of 'Mapless')
