I arrived at San Diego State University (then State College ) in 1969 and so was present at the creation and watched the events described in Joyce Nowers The Sister Chronicles unfold. Nower examines and evokes the creation of the first Womens Studies program in the nation with a remarkable intertextual weaving of prose and rather formal verse And so the reconstruction of history to include her story began, and you will find the triumphs and setbacks, the exhilaration and disappointment, the hope and the struggle of those days powerfully recalled on these pages. Nower even has the audacity to turn bureaucratic academic procedures into poetry. Fred Moramarco, poet and editor of Poetry International [The] Sister Chronicles (sharp title) about the formation of the first womens studies in the USA is entirely original. The prose is nicely paced, but its the poetry that charms this reader, with its lyrical, musical voice, its mix of sassy, down home, traditional and erudite, witty and playful voices (Dido Did It), the somber beauty of On the Path to Athena Proneia, The Danaids . The poems connect smoothly to the narration. The poems that reflect the physical world in San Diego, birds, flora, the back country of the hunterthose Sloan Canyon Songsare strong I like the witty rhymes The Meditation on the Maelstrom seems an excellent last poem and lands on an affirming note .I am grateful to know about the mystic, pagan, fourth-century BC mathematician Hypatia of Alexandria. These sonnets, with their no-nonsense earthy language delighted me. Jericho Again and Again sets a philosophical mode into motion. After the fires, the blood of Hypatia, it offers a quieter tone. I especially like #7 Childhoods Globe of Light, the pleasure of the rhymed couplets. Colette Inez, poet (The Woman Who Loved Worms, Alive and Taking Names) Writing in the tradition of the Iliad and Odyssey , Joyce Nower charts the stormy waters of the Sixties. Her luminous poetry breaks over the shoals of the past, bringing calm at last. The Sister Chronicles is a tour de force of history and literature. Elizabeth Cobbs Hoffman, historian (All You Need is Love: The Peace Corps and the 1960s)

Excerpt from book: LINES WRITTEN BESIDE THE LAGO VARESE. (See Henry Taylor's Poem, entitled, Lago Varese.) STILL rise around that lake well sung New growths as boon and good As when, by sunshine sadden'd, hung Her Poet o'er that flood, And sang, in Idyll-Elegy, a lay Which praised things beauteous, mourning their decay. As then great Nature, kind to sloth, Lets drop o'er all the land Her gifts, the fair and fruitful both, Into the sleeper's hand: On golden ground once more she paints as then The cistus bower, and convent-brighten'd glen. m. Still o'er the flashing waters lean The mulberry and the maize, And roof of vines whose purple screen Tempers those piercing rays, Which here forego their fiercer shafts, and sleep, Subdued, in crimson cells, and verdurous chambers deep. And still in many a sandy creek Light waves run on and up, While the foam-bubbles winking break Around their channell'd cup: Against the rock they toss the bleeding gourd, Or lap on marble stair and skiff unmoor'd. Fulfill'd thus far the Poet's words: ? And yet a truth that hour By him unsung upon his chords Descends, their ampler dower. Of Nature's cyclic life he sang, nor knew That frailer shape he mourn'd should bloom perpetual too. There still?not skilful to retract A glance as kind as keen? By the same southern sunset back'd There still that Maid is seen: Through song's high grace there stands she from her eyes Still beams the cordial mirth, the unshamed surprise I vn. Not yet those parted lips remit A smile that grows and grows: The Titianic morning yet Breaks from that cheek of rose: Still from her locks the breeze its sweetness takes: - Around her white feet still the ripple fawns and rakes. vm.

Excerpt from The Night Sister: And Other Poems I've known you now since I was eight years old, And never noticed, that I can remember, The Autumn mist so blue, the elms more gold Or watched a lovelier sunset in November! I doubt if maple tints could teach Much to that blazing bunch of beech, While you're so peaceful that I almost wonder If shells can really shriek, or cannon thunder!

Sister written by Nickole Brown and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2007 with Poetry categories.
Nickole Brown writes in a voice that is simultaneously vernacular and lyrical. It is a voice thick with the humidity and whirring cicadas of Kentucky, but the poems are dangerous, smelling of the crisp cucumber scent of a copperhead about to strike. Epistolary in nature, and with a novel's arc, Sister is a story that begins with a teen giving birth to a baby girl--the narrator--during a tornado, and in some ways, that tornado never ends. In the hands of a lesser poet, this debut collection would be a standard-issue confession, a melodramatic exercise in anger and self-pity. But melodrama requires simple villains and victims, and there is neither in this richly complex portrait. Ultimately, Sister is more about the narrator's transgressions and failures, more about her relationships to her sister and their mother than about that which divided them. With equal parts sass and sorrow, these poems etch out survival won not with tender-hearted reflections but by smoking cigarettes through fly-specked screens, by using cans of aerosol hair spray as a makeshift flamethrowers, and, most cruelly, by leaving home and trying to forget her sister entirely. From there, each poem is a letter of explanation and apology to that younger sister she never knew. Sister recounts a return to a place that Brown never truly left. It is a book of forgiveness, of seeking what is beyond mere survival, of finding your way out of a place of poverty and abuse only to realize that you must go back again, all the way back to where everything began--that warm, dark nest of mother.
