Rifka Krummel; Marian Angele

Opis

Dr. Krummel's poetry reflects her astute awareness, amazing courage and commitment to humanity and morality. From her memories as a small child painfully aware of the horrors of the Holocaust, forced to Americanize (Regina) her given name (Rifka), to her volunteer classes in creative writing and therapeutic poetry in some of America's cruelest prisons, to her present-day battle against cancer, Dr. Krummel always writes with a voice of conscience souled by an intimate acquaintance with abuse, the loss of dignity and hopelessness in the lives of women and men that have been exiled, silenced, forgotten. Through her singular, penetrating lens you glimpse the darker, shadowy world that exists behind the glittery facades of consumerism and false promises of capitalism that have captivated those who consider themselves -free.-
