Poetry collection by devorah major, San Francisco's third Poet Laureate.
Poet's Statement:
The state of California was named after Queen Califia. It is said that Africans came across sea currents to arrive in South America and then moved east and west through Mexico and around the gulf settling in the south, mixing blood and dance, color and culture with the people of the corn. Cortez's crew of six hundred held two hundred Africans who worked its sails, cleaned its decks and sometimes served as interpreters. Because of this, Cortez thought that Africans populated this part of the world too. He named this land California, the isle of Queen Califia.
But where did he get the name? It is believed by some that the legend of Califia was initially formed by seafaring Kalifuna Mandinka who arrived in the new world before Columbus. African Moors who traded and sailed with their Mandinka brethren brought the tale of Calfia to Spain where, around 1510, (pulp) novelist Garcia Rodr guez de Montalvo in Las Sergas de Esplandian (The Adventures of Esplandian) refashioned the tale of a compassionate, fearless, and beautiful African Amazon queen living on a steep, rocky-cliff, gold-rich island. With Queen Califia were fierce and able female subjects, hundreds of griffins, wild beasts harnessed in gold, and occasional visiting (or captured) men. Some also assert that California once held a vast inland lake, and appeared to be an island for hundreds of years, and that during this time it was explored by a few of these early Kalifuna Mandika voyagers, and that it is, in fact, the actual land of the Califia myth.--devorah major

Описание:
For those who know loss, there is a moment in time for which everything else is either before or after.
Dominique Williams was a creative, kind and exuberant twenty-year-old who lived life to the fullest and craved adventure.
Her sudden death caused by a car crash on her way to a music festival in 2009 left a hole in the lives of those who held her dear.
Daughter of Mine is a window into the journey Dominique's mother Lesley embarked on as she grappled with grief and loss whilst finding the courage to make sense of a new life without her daughter.
Lesley found comfort, therapy and clarity through her poetry and her writing demonstrates the never ending love a mother holds for her child, even in their absence.
This unforgettable collection of verses will help you to understand the emotions no parent should ever have to experience and the strength it takes to 'keep dancing' when they do.

Автор: Rosenberg Laforge Jane Название: Medusa`s Daughter ISBN: 1716440785 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781716440786 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 3517.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: In Daphne and Her Discontents, Jane Rosenberg LaForge investigates the relationship between fathers and daughters. She returns with Medusa's Daughter, in which she wrestles with the legend of Medusa to explore the life and legacy of her own mother. A simultaneous act of homage, and revision, Medusa's Daughter asks whether an inheritance is fate or merely a template that can be rejected or embraced. The poems also explore how one anonymous woman, seemingly consigned to a life designed by patriarchal culture, still influenced generations, and inspired them to live on their own terms.
