Download or read book Skirting Traditions: Arizona Women Writers and Journalists 1912-2012 written by Brenda Kimsey Warneka and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women who skirt traditions, whether on the frontier of a young state or in a male-dominated profession, have relied on resilience, creativity, and grit to survive…and to flourish. These short biographies of twenty-eight female writers and journalists from Arizona span the one hundred years since Arizona became the forty-eighth state in the Union. They capture the emotions, the monumental and often overlooked events, and the pioneering spirit of women whose lives are now part of Arizona history. The remarkable women profiled in this anthology made the trek to Arizona from the big cities of Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.; from the green hills of Wisconsin, and from backwater towns in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania; by covered wagon, automobile, and, later, airplane. They came with their parents or their husbands, or as single women, with and without children. They came seeking health in the sun-blessed dryness of the desert, a job, a better lifestyle. What these women had in common was their love of writing and journalism, and their ability to use the written word to earn a living, to argue a cause, and to promote the virtues, beauty, history, and people of the Southwest. The narratives in Skirting Traditions move forward from the beginning of statehood to the modern day, describing daring feats, patriotic actions, and amazing accomplishments. They are women you won't soon forget.

Download or read book Sáanii Dahataal/The Women Are Singing written by Luci Tapahonso and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this cycle of poetry and stories, Navajo writer Luci Tapahonso shares memories of her home in Shiprock, New Mexico, and of the places and people there. Through these celebrations of birth, partings, and reunions, this gifted writer displays both her love of the Navajo world and her resonant use of language. Blending memoir and fiction in the storytelling style common to many Indian traditions, Tapahonso's writing shows that life and death are intertwined, and that the Navajo people live with the knowledge that identity is formed by knowing about the people to whom one belongs. The use of both English and Navajo in her work creates an interplay that may also give readers a new way of understanding their connectedness to their own inner lives and to other people. Luci Tapahonso shows how the details of everyday life—whether the tragedy of losing a loved one or the joy of raising children, or simply drinking coffee with her uncle—bear evidence of cultural endurance and continuity. Through her work, readers may come to better appreciate the different perceptions that come from women's lives.

Download or read book Ocean Power written by Ofelia Zepeda and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1995-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annual seasons and rhythms of the desert are a dance of clouds, wind, rain, and flood—water in it roles from bringer of food to destroyer of life. The critical importance of weather and climate to native desert peoples is reflected with grace and power in this personal collection of poems, the first written creative work by an individual in O'odham and a landmark in Native American literature. Poet Ofelia Zepeda centers these poems on her own experiences growing up in a Tohono O'odham family, where desert climate profoundly influenced daily life, and on her perceptions as a contemporary Tohono O'odham woman. One section of poems deals with contemporary life, personal history, and the meeting of old and new ways. Another section deals with winter and human responses to light and air. The final group of poems focuses on the nature of women, the ocean, and the way the past relationship of the O'odham with the ocean may still inform present day experience. These fine poems will give the outside reader a rich insight into the daily life of the Tohono O'odham people.

Download or read book Each and Her written by Valerie Martínez and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004 twenty-eight women and young girls were murdered in Ciudad Juárez and the surrounding areas. The tragedy escalated to fifty-eight murders in 2006, then again to eighty-six in 2008, and current estimates top four hundred deaths. Now poet Valerie Martínez offers a poetic exploration of these events, pushing boundaries—stylistically and artistically—with vivid poems that contextualize femicide. Martínez departs from traditional narrative to reveal the hidden effects and outcomes of the horrific and heart-wrenching cases of femicide. These poems—lyric fragments and prose passages that form a collage—have an intricate relation to one another, creating a complex literary quilt that feels like it can be read from the beginning, the end, or anywhere in between. Martínez is personally invested in the topic, evoking the loss of her sister, and Each and Her emerges as a biography of sorts and a compelling homage to all those who have suffered. Other authors may elaborate on or investigate this topic, but Martínez humanizes it by including names, quotations, realistic details, and stark imagery. The women of Juárez, like other women around the world, are ravaged by inequality, discontinuity, politics, and economic plagues that contribute to gender violence. Martínez offers us a poignant and alarming glance into another world with these never-before-told stories. Her refreshing and explosive voice will keep readers transfixed and intrigued about these events and emotions—removed from us and yet so close to the heart.

Book excerpt: Nearly twenty years in the making, Whoa is Becky Byrkit's fourth collection of startling, provocative poems. "Byrkit isn't by nature a narrative poet, yet these poems have stories to share that would riddle the lines of a lesser poet. Not so Byrkit, whose wit fires up her material as she mines it with irony," writes poet Cynthia Hogue ("The Incognito Body").Writes Nicholas Papandreou (novelist, essayist), "[Becky] creates a space of unsettling beauty ... not for the timid, these boldly etched poems sparkle, thunder and roar. Whoa!"Artist James Ward Byrkit contributes his own brand of wizardry to the effort, providing manipulated photographs that complement the written work.Whoa is published by Kariboux Ltd., a Northern California designer press that specializes in collaborations among exceptional writers and artists who participate in the art of book design. A special Collector's Edition of Whoa, including a stand-alone broadside illustrated by Jim Byrkit (by hand), is signed by both author and illustrator, and is available directly through Kariboux at www.karibouxltd.com.
