... "Bosnia-Herzegovina, Rwanda, Darfur, Somalia, Amherst?" "POEMS OF WITNESS AND WORTH" Emily Dickinson's poetry as included in "The Rape and Recovery of Emily Dickinson, In Her Words, Poems of Witness and Worth"? Absolutely implausible, improbable to say the least that Emily Dickinson, a nineteenth century New England poet, could be an advocate for women in the Congo in 2010! An Emily Dickinson poetry indeed does! "When a nearly universal experience of a woman being raped is the belief that she is going to die, ... " finds its ultimate expression in her poem "The Soul has Bandaged moments - ". "Warfare, global violence and domestic violence can barely be differentiated when the weapon as a phallus symbol becomes a phallus as weapon.". Living up to its title "THE RAPE AND RECOVERY OF EMILY DICKINSON, IN HER WORDS, POEMS OF WITNESS AND WORTH" is a brave little book that reveals for the first time the identity of the poet's legendary "mystery lover" as the Hon. Edward Dickinson, the premier American poet's father. The narrative, a powerful story told in her poems makes clear the tyrannical Edward Dickinson's life time sexual violation of his daughter. In eighty-five poems of astonishing analysis, concise and astute, embodying rage as well as ecstasy, the truth is preserved and the poet's gorgeous sanity immortalized, in POEMS OF WITNESS AND WORTH.

Over thirty countries and one hundred fifty universities worldwide have banded together to raise awareness about the conflict in the Congo. This movement was started by NC A&T students and many others are joining in solidarity and organizing events on their respective campuses for 2009, the second year of this observance. Since 1996, it is estimated that nearly 6 million people have died in the Congo due to the conflict. Student leaders and community organizers have responded to the silence surrounding the lives lost in the Congo with a global movement to Break the Silence and raise awareness about the violence, especially against women and children. The purpose is to mobilize people in a global teach-in and other activities ...

Naomi Reads French Poetry Part 2
Tags :Naomi, Reads, French, Poetry, Part

Since around the fourteenth century this heroic narrative has been handed down the generations orally within the Mongo People, and has now been published in English for the first time. The translation captures the African imagery, idiom and forms of literary expression. With the themes of peace, unity and reconciliation at its centre, the author encompasses and depicts the rich cultural heritage of the Mongo people. The narrative is simultaneously an expose of the great deeds of a legendary Mongo hero and the fascinating socio-historical, economic and religious context in which the Mongo have lived and continue to live.
