I only wish Maryan could read them.<BR/><BR/>nic--I don't know how to post comments on your page, but out of the African books I found I had heard of 4 and read 2 (if that makes you feel any better). I used to travel with a theater road company abd ibe if the plays in our rep was Payon's Cry the Beloved Country, so I practically have that memorized. Also, like twitch, I am a HUGE fan of Annie Dillard. I got to meet her once, have all her books. I shook the very hand that wrote those words!Joyce Ellen Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494251587598676788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14709545.post-1159551419979136602006-09-29T11:36:00.000-06:002006-09-29T11:36:00.000-06:00This is great stuff -- who knew?!

These are just part that seemed to fit the prompt. The book begins with his childhood, and ends with his death in the madhouse. After his very last performance, "dancing war," he put his hand over his pounding heart and said, "The little horse is tired."<BR/><BR/>Sadly, Maryan died of heart failure about 5 years ago. This book was never published. She won 1st place in the Utah Arts Council contest with another book called "The Honeymoon Poems," and the Utah State Poetry Society published another one called "Downwind Toward Night."<BR/><BR/>I miss her.Joyce Ellen Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494251587598676788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14709545.post-1159420089766364742006-09-27T23:08:00.000-06:002006-09-27T23:08:00.000-06:00The true artists are always slightly crazy, yes?

One of the best uses of alliteration I've ever seen.<BR/><BR/>Interesting form, how you've broken the poem into three peices. Like watching a ballet, each scene unfolding ontop of the other.
