Easter mary (66 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The author traces her development as a dancer during of the decade between 1968 and 1979, a pivotal era in Black/white relations, women's rights, and other significant developments in social traditions. The sanctions that thread through the American fabric to limit black lives can be seen in the description of her journey, which looks forward to her eventual success but focuses more often on her difficulties in balancing the aspirational needs of her trickster body with the responsibilities of family life on a small-town campus. Meditative interludes take us back to Easter's upbringing in Richmond, Virginia, in the midst of a highly talented family of musicians and educators, and the recollections of her elder family members take us back to the era of slavery and abduction. Dance enthusiasts and anyone familiar with the highly charged emotional climate of a modern dance troupe will enjoy her descriptions of joining, managing, and creating dances for such a group.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Free Papers: poems. In this poem sequence Eliza, the enslaved, speaks to the poet Mary Moore Easter who answers her in the voices of her own ancestors, grandmothers and great-grandmothers, captives of the slave period.

Easter was inspired by Eliza's archival court testimony to flesh out a whole woman and her fears, courage and determination to be free. This impassioned work does not only interrogate the past, but also leaps forward to offer a model for women of today. Mary Moore Easter, a Cave Canem Fellow, is a strong and flexible writer. She brings her tremendous powers of vision and of poetic technique to this book incorporating forms such as narrative, lyrical free verse, sonnet, pantoum, and dramatic dialogue.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mary Moore Easter's new collection, her fifth, chronicles the dramatic aftermath of open-heart surgery and the removal of a life-threatening aneurism. She recounts episodes in her healing journey and gradual recovery, and celebrates the sources of inspiration that helped her to return to her dancing self, including a visit with family to ancestral West Africa. Several of the poems are accompanied by QR codes, by means of which readers can listen to Easter sing her songs, reviving the artistic link between her spoken ancestry and the legacy alive in her children and grandchildren. Brash political events also burst onto the page as the larger world becomes immersed in fear and chaos far greater than the threat to the poet's own individual survival. But in the end, this collection celebrates the life and the love that renewed health can make possible. These poems sing, dance, and love, on the edge of the eternal precipice that defines our lifespan. A harrowing open-heart surgery introduce this collection.
