Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
'I am more than the smell / of fear grasping my collar, ' Lorna Dee Cervantes tells us in one of the powerful poems in this new collection. Indeed, she is. But Cervantes' brilliance here is her ability to speak the fear as well as the resistance to that fear. These are magnificent poems. I read (the) book in the dark of the night. The poems glowed like stars.--Margaret Randall ...a keenly observed, politically charged, uncompromising tour of the poet's mind and our world. This book might be the instruction manual we all need.--Camille Dungy, Orion Magazine Poetry.

Alias Olympia
Author: Eunice Lipton
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801468248
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Eunice Lipton was a fledging art historian when she first became intrigued by Victorine Meurent, the nineteenth-century model who appeared in Edouard Manet's most famous paintings, only to vanish from history in a haze of degrading hearsay. But had this bold and spirited beauty really descended into prostitution, drunkenness, and early death—or did her life, hidden from history, take a different course altogether? Eunice Lipton's search for the answer combines the suspense of a detective story with the revelatory power of art, peeling off layers of lies to reveal startling truths about Victorine Meurent—and about Lipton herself.

Designed for the Asiatic Squadron, she became famous as Adm. George Dewey's flagship at the Battle of Manila Bay and later returned the body of the Unknown Soldier from France after World War I. Today the Olympia displays her traditional garb of buff and white as a naval shrine at Penn's Landing on the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
