Respirator Blues
Respirator Blues is a collection of ninety lowku poems (senryu) by poet Elaine Parker Adams. Similar to the well-known haiku in structure, lowku focuses on social issues rather than nature. Adams explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of COVID-19, its effects, and the realities and myths associated with the virus. Her poems register a variety of responses to living in a COVID-impacted world-in the neighborhood, at work, in schools, and even the fraught environs of hospitals, nursing homes, and end-of-life formalities. Respirator Blues gives its topic due respect while weaving in welcome touches of levity, humor, and sarcasm. These poems provide the opportunity to read briefly but think deeply, arouse memories, and encourage reflection on the challenging experiences impacting pandemic survivors.
Hurricane Harvey Lowku
When Hurricane Harvey ravished Houston in 2017, homes were flooded that had never flooded before, and thousands of people were displaced. Elaine Parker Adams was one of those evacuees, her home partially flooded by waters released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from two fragile dams--the Barker and the Addicks. She describes the event in 50 lowku poems--poetry from the haiku family that focuses on societal issues rather than nature--each accompanied by a narrative. Hurricane Harvey Lowku is divided into five sections--Risk, Rescue, Recovery, Restoration, and Return--and many of the poems deal with the hardship caused by the hurricane. Adams doesn't limit her attention to the Houston cal...
The Reverend Peter W. Clark
Peter Clarks ministerial journey provides an in-depth understanding of the sacrifices and hardships faced by black Methodist preachers as they spread the gospel and expanded Methodism in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. It provides deep insight into the racial attitudes and economic conditions that prevailed in post-Reconstruction Louisiana. - Angella Current-Felder, author, Breaking Barriers: An African American Family & the Methodist Story I could feel the story better than most because I had been down some of the same roads Peter Clark traveled, although a hundred years later and under more comfortable circumstances. - Rev. James L. Killen, Jr., author, Pastoral Ca...
African American Librarians in the Far West
Unstorically, African American librarians have faced the same discrimination as other African American professionals: lack of respect; placement only in African American communities; failure to receive promotions to administrative positions, especially those requiring supervision of Caucasian counterparts; and failure to recognize contributions to the organization and the profession. African American Librarians in the Far West includes biographies of twenty-two librarians who practiced in the western United States and Hawaii and contributed to the advancement of African Americans in the profession, the library, the general community, and the field of library and information science.
Haiku Bouillabaisse
A bouillabaisse is a mouth-watering stew of seafood, tomatoes, onions, garlic and spices. Elaine Parker Adams creates a bouillabaisse of haiku poetry, contrasting youth and old age, good times and bad, garden and yard, and tackling two American crises-September 11 and Hurricane Katrina. Many of the poems reflect her experiences growing up in New Orleans. Other poems address contemporary issues, such as cultural diversity and social justice. Her poems on nature emphasize birds, from wise owls to human night hawks. There are moments for chuckles, tears, and sighs. Like a good bouillabaisse, each morsel must be savored.
