Author: Margaret Gibson File Type: epub Earth Elegy gathers new poems as well as work from Margaret Gibsons previous books and proves her a poet for whom the earth is a place of marvels and, at times, tragic splendor. Whether rendering the sun-splashed markets of Mexico, an evening of joyful community in Soviet Georgia, or the mountains and fields of solitary walks, these brilliantly crafted meditations explore the dynamics of radiance and grief as they manifest themselves in our lives.In these poems, Gibson evokes the talismanic energy of things with a palette of sensual colors and textures reminiscent of the paintings of Georgia OKeefe, as in her rendering of a sycamore, each limb rippled like hairunwound from a braid.In the most fundamental sense, her work is both political and spiritual in its compassion, in its desire to know harvest from theft, and in its deep belief in human dignity. Her poems are profoundly contemplative, seeking within this world the persistent fireflung from the wordless Source.Earth Elegy traces the workings of a sensibility that focuses emotional intensity like light through a magnifying glass and brings its subjects alive in blazes of almost unbearable clarity.

Author: Priscilla Meléndez File Type: pdf The first book-length study of the role of farce in Spanish American theatre explores the intersection of politics and drama. Spanish American playwrights have realized that farces lack of power and marginality can become a resourceful way to confront aggression and censorship, while rejecting the possibility of eventually becoming part of the oppressive center. This book underscores the tendency of Spanish American farce for self-parody, its capacity to uncover and also carry out a profound critique of their nations artistic, social, and political rituals. To use and transgress farce simultaneously, as a considerable number of Spanish American playwrights do, is to recognize the reality, the power, and the limits of laughter. **
