Book Description

I believed in the myth of the yellow kitchen for a very long time. I believed that yellow is the color of happiness, cheerfulness, the color of life and sunshine. My first kitchen was yellow, a bright, canary yellow. But yellow can fade so quickly. My husband and I were doing all the things we had dreamed about together, having children, building careers, developing wonderful friendships, and watching our children grow. The divorce, such a tragedy at that time, changed my life. And that is what this book is about-the strength that emerged, the force to get a doctorate when I had no money and three young children, the passion to forge a creative career in higher education, and the power to enjoy the magic and mystery of life.

Book Description

For the first time, the true story of "The Yellow Rose of Texas" is told in full, revealing a host of new insights and perspectives on one of America's most popular stories. For generations, the Yellow Rose of Texas has been one of America's most popular western myths, growing larger over time and little resembling the truth of what happened on April 21, 1836, at the battle of San Jacinto, where a new Texas Republic won its independence. The woman who has been popularly connected to the story was an ordinary but also quite remarkable free black woman from the North, Emily D. West. This work reconstructs her experience, places it in full context and explores the evolution of a most fanciful myth.

Book Description

Concerned with physical experience, pain, and disability, Veil and Burn illuminates an intense desire to feel through the Other, embrace it, become it, and in the transformation, to understand the suffering body. In poems about animals, artifacts, and monsters, Lambeth displays a fascination for all bodies while exploring their pain, common fate, alienation, and abilities. Hovering between poem and prose fragment, between the self and fellow creatures, Laurie Clements Lambeth celebrates physical sensation, imbuing it with lyric shape, however broken, however imprisoned the shape may be.
