Adele Seronde

Opis

Adele Seronde is a painter, poet and community activist. She has exhibited in galleries on the east coast, in southwest Arizona and in Italy over the last sixty years, as well as published poetry for both adults and schoolchildren. During the year 1968, answering the challenging anger of America's citizens at Martin Luther King's assassination, she helped organize a unifying citywide program: the Mayor of Boston's Neighborhood Art's Festival, to bring the imagination and beauty of the arts to help heal people. Besides writing or contributing to five books of poetry, Seronde has written two books in prose (2006): Our Sacred Garden: the Living Earth, concerning ways to protect and nurture our natural environment, and Pegasus: Wings on Fire in Education (still being edited), addressing today's crises in American education. She has also founded a national organization: Gardens for Humanity, to encourage and teach gardening in school, hospitals and caring centers in both urban and rural areas. This book of poetry is more personal. All My Loves and Deaths reveals a lifetime of deep appreciation for her own, and an extended family of friends and beloveds, both living and dead. Their enchanting customs, gestures, mannerisms, laughter and quirks are caught in momentary flashes, not as complete portraits but as spontaneous revelations.
