Women/Writing/Teaching

Presents autobiographical visions of women writing teachers--their intertwined lives as professionals, feminists, writers, instructors, and colleagues. This book presents autobiographical visions of women writing teachers--their complex lives as writers, as instructors, as feminists, as professionals in the academy. The authors explore their complex identities as teachers: the particular configurations of their pasts, gender, class, ethnic backgrounds, personalities, and cultures that have shaped their personae as instructors of writing. The contributors explore the intersections of their past and present experiences that influence and guide their development as writers and as instructors of writing. The book discusses how women can emerge from silence, gain authority and power as professionals, and balance the private and public aspects of their lives. In addition, it addresses how women constitute themselves as literacy teachers and what models of feminist pedagogy emerge. Women/Writing/Teaching is notable for the range, depth, and richness of the chapters; the dynamic interplay of voices, approaches, issues, and concerns; the multiethnic focus; and the high quality of the writings. It will prompt readers to explore their own life stories and to comprehend more fully women's complex lives as teaching professionals.

Introduction to Literature Resource Center Printed Access Card for Portable Legacies, 4th

Joseph Cornell: The Man Who Love Sparrows is a soaring portrait of the visual artist and experimental filmmaker and the interweaving of lives he touched and those who inspired this thoughtful creator. These poems from Schmidt and Miller (also an interweaving, of styles and ideas and shared affection for the artist) burst with history, connection, image, and thoughtful vision. Each section, written with resounding voice and immaculate style, generates a fine momentum that carries the weight of shadow, of loss, of awe, of growth, of the seeking of connection and fulfilment in a shaky, unknown world that to Joseph only made sense when surrounded by the happy hue of family, friendship, and the life-giving creative spark. This is a chapbook worth reading time and again, delighting in the sharp voices, carefully chosen words, drum-tight rhythm, and passion for the imaginative spirit." -Jonathan Starke, Founding Editor of Palooka and author of You've Got Something Coming With their combined voices, Tana Miller and Jan Zlotnik Schmidt pay loving homage to Joseph Cornell's vision with its combination of the commonplace and the uncanny, his dream landscape that is the landscape of all our dreams." -Mary Gordon, author of Final Payments and Payback "Poets Jan Zlotnik Schmidt and Tana Miller have reflected upon American artist Joseph Cornell's life and works to create their own literary "Cornell boxes." Each poem is a stand-alone piece of art, but when collected here in their volume, Joseph Cornell: The Man Who Loved Sparrows, the poems create a gallery show examining the artist's biography and imagery. And with a keen eye, these two poets explore their own personal connection with Cornell's mysterious world. It's an insightful, unique book for both the readers of literature and art history." -Laurence Carr, author of Paradise Loft and Threnodies and Publisher of LightwoodPress.com

Poetry

Kelsay Books

This poetry volume explores themes of loss and grief, the complexities of familial relationships, the struggles with coping with aging parents with dementia, the mourning that comes after their deaths, the significance of memory, and the struggle to maintain feelings of hope and resilience. The volume encompasses different forms of loss—from feminist poems that depict women’s silencing and agency, to moments of grief and mourning, to questions of aging, to meditations on family photographs that explore the back stories of her parents’ characters and experiences before the poet was born, and finally, to extended meditations on moments of resilience and hope. The volume ends with the idea of the need for “foraging for light,” for embracing moments of being, joy, and artistry. Notable in the volume is its hybridity—its range of forms from lyric poems to prose poetry, persona and ekphrastic poems, and ghazals. The stylistic variety makes for an enriching poetic reading experience.
