PRENTICE HALL LITERATURE: Timeless Voices, Timeless Themes Lorna Dee Cervantes (b. 1954) Lorna Dee Cervantes was born in San Francisco, California. She is of Mexican and Native American ancestry. By the time she was 12, Cervantes was reading aloud the works of the English Romantic poets, such as Byron, Keats, and Shelley, to get a feel for the rhythms of the English language. She wrote her first poem at the age of eight and put together her first collection of poetry at 15. She published some of these poems in her high school newspaper. Her first book of poetry, Emplumada, was very well received. It received an American Book Award in 1982. She has since become a professor of creative writing at the University of Colorado. A B C

FOOLING WITH WORDS with BILL MOYERS Captures the Vitality and Diversity of Contemporary Premiering Sunday, September 26 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS "The act of making a poem requires that somebody's listening," says poet Mark Doty. And listen they do. More than 12,000 people turned up to listen and laugh, to sigh and weep, to cheer and exalt in the pure pleasure of the spoken word at the 1998 Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival, where Bill Moyers returned to cover the poetry beat. The two-hour special FOOLING WITH WORDS WITH BILL MOYERS , produced by Dominique Lasseur and directed by Catherine Tatge, premieres Sunday, September 26 at 9 p.m. (ET) on PBS (check local listings). "Under the trees in Waterloo, New Jersey, in this picturesque comer of America, the sound and taste and texture of words tumble off the stage. It's a celebration of the spirit that I find irresistible," says Moyers. "They call it a festival, but it's more like a carnival... and you're the ride," says poet Kurtis Lamkin, who captivates the crowd with his tapestry of joyful sights and sounds of African-American urban street life. From big tents to small workshops, people throng to hear some of the best poets in America and share their thoughts on the craft of poetry. Surveying the sunny atmosphere of young and old reading and speaking poetry together, Georgia poet Coleman Barks, remarks, "It's amazing that so many people can be genuinely excited about fooling with words."

FRtR Outlines American Literature American Poetry Since 1945: The Anti-Tradition > Women and mulitethnic poets An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Women and mulitethnic poets Index Previous Chapter Next Chapter Women's literature, like minority literature and surrealism, first became aware of itself as a driving force in American life during the late 1960s. It flourished in the feminist movement initiated in that era. The second half of the 20th century has witnessed a renaissance in multiethnic literature. Beginning with the 1960s, following the lead of African-Americans, ethnic writers in the United States began to command public attention. During the 1970s, ethnic studies programs were begun. In the 1980s, a number of academic journals, professional organizations, and literary magazines devoted to ethnic groups were initiated. By the 1990s, conferences devoted to the study of specific ethnic literatures had begun, and the canon of "classics" had been expanded to include ethnic writers in anthologies and course lists. Important issues included race versus ethnicity, ethnocentrism versus polycentrism, monolingualism versus bilingualism, and coaptation versus marginalization. Deconstruction, applied to political as well as literary texts, called the status quo into constant question. Minority poetry shares the variety and occasionally the anger of women's writing. It has flowered recently in Hispanic- Americans such as Gary Soto, Alberto Rios, and Lorna Dee Cervantes; in Native Americans such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Simon Ortiz, and Louise Erdrich; in African-American writers such as Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Michael Harper, Rita Dove, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni; and in Asian-American poets such as Cathy Song, Lawson Inada, and Janice Mirikitani.

She started writing at a young age and says that she's been a feminist since she new what the word meant. At 16, Cervantes traveled with NOW (National Organization for Women) which gave her a grounding in the women's movement and in her feminist writing. Nevertheless, when Cervantes wanted to start publishing her work she found resistance, even by the Latino male community. Undaunted, she founded her own small press to publish her writing in 1976. Cervantes also teaches at the University of Colorado. Cervantes works include From the Cables of Genocide: Poems of Love and Hunger and which won the American Book Award. She has also received the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Writers' Award.

.Find two poems on the same subject, one which you consider a good poem, another a poem which you consider a bad poem. Choose the good poem as a poem by a living writer published in a current online poetry magazine. Choose the bad poem on the same subject from a literary anthology found in Dana library. Link to the cyber publication, and link to the published poem by reproducing it on your site. For a detailed analysis of each poem to justify your judgment. Do not choose a poem that you think bad because you do not understand it or bad because you disagree with its ideas. Choose a poem that you think bad because it is badly written. Be as self-conscious as possible regarding how your literary taste is being shaped. Good, Bad Poetry The definition that lies within this dichotomy Authors of poetry express themselves through their writings. These authors take what they experience within their lifetime and incorporate it into their writing. Lorna Dee Cervantes (1954- ) experienced the harsh reality of racism; she also experienced the uncomfortable transition of moving on with her life after her parents had broke up. (www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~) Similarly, John Donne (1572-1631) used his experiences to voice his poetry. Donne’s experiences included being incarcerated and spending 13 years enduring long stretches of poverty.(Poetry criticism vol.1,120) There is no doubt that both Lorna Dee Cervantes and John Donne faced adversity within their lifetime. Adversity itself being a common ground that both authors were accustomed to and wrote about. Based on particular writings of this subject, Lorna Dee Cervantes defines my definition of good poetry while John Donne does not. This is so because unlike the aesthetic qualities present in Cervante’s "Poem for the young...War between races," in addition to being poorly written, Donne’s "Death, be not proud," lack these distinctive attributes.

Books Index San Jose Metroactive Central Archives Poetic Flowering Rising Voices: Grito Serpentino is among the many spoken-word performers at Floricanto. Latino lit takes center stage at Floricanto Festival By Ann Elliott Sherman S San Jose was once a player in the national Chicano literary movement, home to Lorna Dee Cervantes and her publishing company, Mango Press. But to hear MACLA executive director Maribel Alvarez tell it, as federal funding for cultural centers like downtown's Center Cultural de la Gente died out and the city core fell into decay, "there was a real flight of talent from here. Lorna Dee Cervantes, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Luis Valdezall those folks left." In the late 1980s, she continues, "when we got involved, the way to ignite the sort of movement included in our name, Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, was a literary movement. The first gatherings to try to revive a Latino cultural center downtown were poetry readings that Margarita Luna Robles, Juan Felipe Herrera, myself and others organized. [The readings] ignited people coming back togetherpeople like Jorge Gonzales, who had been part of the literary movement of the Chicano emergence in San Diego back in the '60s and who had not read in years." Some time after MACLA occupied its current SoFA address in 1992, it invited Robles, who had moved to Fresno, to serve as writer-in-residence. Robles established a women's writing workshop, Erasing the Margins, that met and performed its work for three years.

From Emplumada by Lorna Dee Cervantes By Lorna Dee Cervantes MEETING MESCALITO AT OAK HILL CEMETERY Sixteen years old and crooked with drug, time warped blissfully as I sat alone on Oak Hill. The cemetery stones were neither erect nor stonelike, but looked soft and harmless; thousands of them rippling the meadows like overgrown daisies. I picked apricots from the trees below where the great peacocks roosted and nagged loose the feathers from their tails. I knelt to a lizard with my hands on the earth, lifted him and held him in my palm — Mescalito was a true god. Coming home that evening nothing had changed. I covered Mama on the sofa with a quilt I sewed myself, locked my bedroom door against the stepfather, and gathered the feathers I'd found that morning, each green eye in a heaven of blue, a fistfull of understanding; and late that night I tasted the last of the sweet fruit, sucked the rich pit and thought nothing of death. BENEATH THE SHADOW OF THE FREEWAY Across the street—the freeway
