Is this our fate for a periodic shaking of the mat, to stir the dust and see where it settles? Only to draw a line in the dust and start anew? Set in the near future, the climate is increasingly erratic, causing mass upheaval. Morgana travels from her secluded farm to the prison where her grandson is incarcerated. Was it just old age, this emotional turmoil, inducing her to want to help, even fix, Evander? Was her mission to help him or help her? Mylo and Amaya’s island-life is thrown into turmoil, and they must wrangle over the possibilities of a future for their family. Lilith and Maxen’s careers in media are exposed. They need stories. Refolding the Calyx is a tale of finding connection and one another in the uncertainty. Their journeys take them to the floating village, a staging point, between the islands and the mainland. Within the confines of the isolated village clinging to an atoll, stories unfold where they must break with the patterns of the past. As stories are revealed, walls, carefully constructed, come tumbling down. Choices become limited. Refolding the Calyx is a story about stories: those we tell ourselves, those given and those we leave unspoken.

"THE origin of the following legend is itself somewhat of a legend. The author of this little story, or, as it may more correctly be termed, this sweet poem, was a young maiden. You will easily discover this, for, in truth, so simple and natural a tale could only have emanated from the fresh and pure imagination of a youthful mind. I tried in vain to discover the name of the author when I was visiting Germany, her native country. I was told by some that the story was written by a princess, who closed her short but brilliant career some years ago, after giving utterance to this plaintive song. Others denied this fact, and assured me that the author was a peasant girl, who died in poverty and obscurity. "
