Những Điều Ba Muốn Nói Với Con Trai Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Philip Chesterfield

I am not particularly into poetry; however, I must say the poems in Rhapsody for Lessons Learned or Remembered captured my attention and interest. This book of poetry was written by Georgia Ann Banks-Martin, an exceptional writer who earned her BA in English, Language Arts at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, AL and her MFA in Poetry at Queens University of Charlotte in Charlotte, NC. Currently she is pursuing a PH.D in Mythological Studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Carpentaria, CA. In Rhapsody for Lessons Learned or Remembered, Georgia Ann takes her readers on an expedition into the world of an ancient art gallery full of images of slavery, joy, and pain. Some of my favorites are: Madonna and Child, after Clementine Hunter and James L. Wilson. It also alludes to the 1940 study of Kenneth Bancroft Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark's in which the pair conducted experiments using dolls to study children's attitudes about race: "My priest said Jesus had golden hair, was the son of Mary and Joseph; was crucified for my sins—and I believed, not knowing children attending segregated schools learned white people were good; black bad, that black children preferred pink dolls to those who were chestnut….” In Dancing Doll, after Helen Bannerman’s Little Black Sambo, Stowe Harriet Beecher’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Rebecca Gilman’s Spinning Into Butter, and Jacob Lawrence’s Dancing Doll: “Some say Sambo wears bright reds, blues, and greens, dances on street corners for large groups of people, grinning, as he did when snitching to the master encouraging him to beat his slaves in return for a fairer share of tea, potatoes, meats, grinning…” Last but not least, in Piano Lesson, after Romare Bearden’s The Piano Lesson and August Wilson’s Piano Lesson: “I read about a man who wanted to trade his savings, some melons, and a piano built by his enslaved relatives, for a plot of land…I imagine it sitting on the right hand side of the 16th Street Baptist Church during the first Sunday service since the bombing, a group of women wearing white dresses and yellow roses comes forward as a voice shouts: ‘We Shall Over Come!’” Fan or not of poetry, you will certainly not only fall in love with Georgia Ann’s poems, but you will learn many lessons in the process.
