And So It Begins

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595501249
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
I started writing poetry in middle school; it seems so long ago now that my first poem was written. But the fascination . and the joy have never diminished. Family and Friends, Identity, Life, Love, Heartbreak, and Fantasy aspects of everyday life, something that draws us in and holds us close. Dreams and hopes, fears and pain, each is a part of us and each of these poems tries to capture those fleeting emotions, tries to hold them close and express them in ways that everyone can see. I aim for your heart, your mind, and your dreams. See what I see, feel what I feel; let your heart open up. Isn't that what poetry is all about in any case? Being able to be free of the confines of structure, being able to say what you feel even if it doesn't make sense? Welcome to my poetry, to my heart.

From Traveling Show to Vaudeville
Author: Robert M. Lewis
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 080189994X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Before phonographs and moving pictures, live performances dominated American popular entertainment. Carnivals, circuses, dioramas, magicians, mechanical marvels, musicians, and theatrical troupes—all visited rural fairgrounds, small-town opera houses, and big-city palaces around the country, giving millions of people an escape from their everyday lives for a dime or a quarter. In From Traveling Show to Vaudeville, Robert M. Lewis has assembled a remarkable collection of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century primary sources that document America's age of theatrical spectacle. In eight parts, Lewis explores, in turn, dime museums, minstrelsy, circuses, melodramas, burlesque shows, Wild West shows, amusement parks, and vaudeville. Included in this compendium are biographies, programs, ephemera produced by theatrical entrepreneurs to lure audiences to their shows, photographs, scripts, and song lyrics as well as newspaper accounts, reviews, and interviews with such figures as P. T. Barnum and Buffalo Bill Cody. Lewis also gives us reminiscences about and reactions to various shows by members of audiences, including such prominent writers as Mark Twain, William Dean Howells, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Carl Sandburg, Walt Whitman, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, O. Henry, and Maxim Gorky. Each section also includes a concise introduction that places the genre of spectacle into its historical and cultural context and suggests major interpretive themes. The book closes with a bibliographic essay that identifies relevant scholarly works. Many of the pieces collected here have not been published since their first appearance, making From Traveling Show to Vaudeville an indispensable resource for historians of popular culture, theater, and nineteenth-century American society.
