Produktbeschreibung
Spanning two continents and stretching over 100 years, distant-yet-close cousins Regina Krummel and Sarah Lipton explore the richly flawed territory of relationship between generations, both ancestral and alive. The potent intimacy of the story they weave through their vivid correspondence illuminates a truly human journey of discovery. "It took us over five years of correspondence to write this journey, but we've done so not only to guide ourselves back home to each other, our inheritance, and ourselves, but for as a guide for you, dear reader, to find yourself on your own journey back home, to yourself." ~ Sarah Lipton As Walt Whitman once wrote: "we contain multitudes," and this is exactly what is explored inside this timely book.
Autorenporträt
Regina received her Ed.D from Columbia's Teachers' College, taught at NYU, Columbia and many other universities and schools. She retired from Queens College CUNY, after 33 years, as Full Professor, Emerita. She has spent many years doing poetry therapy and creative writing in prisons in the UK and USA. She trained future high school teachers at Rikers Island's male prison. She did poetry therapy in the New York State women's maximum security prison in the psychiatric division of the institution and published a book of their poetry, and a book of her own poetry: On the Ledge. She continues to teach creative writing in an adult program in Connecticut. Together with her husband Dr. William Krummel, she has volunteered in India and China in the area of education and professional development for teachers of English. She believes living is an endless search in expanding one's knowledge of the world through teaching and exploring new cultures, including the dehumanizing effects of the whitewashed American prison system.
