{"product_id":"9781957221038","title":"Ornate Persona","description":"Moving dramatically inward from her immense geographic and forensic terrain-Jeanine Stevens investigates Modernist dance, film, painting, collage, masquerade, and psychology in Ornate Persona. She distills her gifts as a lyric anthropologist in this, her most introspective collection thus far. We sense that she's investigating her own psyche, even while handling such themes as a Nijinsky ballet. Her associative dance leads us fluidly from poem to poem, as she empathizes with the gifted, ill-fated Tanaquil Le Clercq, celebrated dancer and muse to George Balanchine: it is the ballet \"Afternoon of a Faun\" which unites Nijinsky and Tanaquil across the decades in Stevens' mind. And we become one body with Nijinsky himself, admiring our own sinew. \"My Egyptian eyes, lacquered hair \/ body taped \/ like a character doll. Was it a dream feathering down my neck \/ or just thoughts, leaf points growing \/ from the green felt skullcap?\" Stevens' power to captivate guides us from a Joseph Cornell box to familiar 20th-century masterworks like the film Black Orpheus, then to the mysterious series of mandalas created by Carl Jung's patient, Miss X. Stevens' poetry keeps us reading, thinking, and feeling. -Tom Goff, author Twelve-Tone Row: Music in Words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJeanine Stevens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eClare Songbirds Publishing House\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 17, 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e34 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\/Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1957221038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781957221038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Clare Songbirds Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50364283126065,"sku":"9781957221038","price":12.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781957221038__33977.jpg?v=1732437041","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/es\/products\/9781957221038","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
