Bøger af Liz Glodek

With a foreword by Barbara Kellerman, this collection of essays by a doctoral cohort committed to advancing the conversation on leadership was part of a project-based learning course. This group of professionals in the area of educational leadership not only wrote the essays, but also edited and designed the book.

The poems in this book were written after the epitaph form used by the 3rd century B.C. poet, Heraclitus, for his collection of poems believed to be called Nightingales. Using the only known poem remaining of Heraclitus' work, "The soil is freshly dug," Glodek was moved to apply his ancient European form to a more modern and American context, that of slavery in the United States. This series of epitaphs are written in the voices of women who were slaves in the American South, and the name of the book, Birds of Mississippi, echoes the title of Heraclitus' collection.
