Frantic Fan Dancer tells the story of an eclectic mix of events that have passionately dealt author Jill St. Clare many hard turns. Being quietly ruthless to her wounded spirit, she fleshed out those events and cradled them kindly amongst whimsical tales and exotic travels. This is not a struggle memoir but rather an outpouring of St. Clares very best, dealing piquantly with family issues and sparing any pretense. It is the unfurling of richly textured experiences for too long held captive in her mind. Most delightfully of all, in discovering her authors voice, she has allowed herself to indulge in her Fathers everyday vernacular. One of my favourite sections of beautiful writing is the first of the Cicada stories, which conveys the childhood heart of things so powerfully. Patti Miller, author of The Mind of a Thief and Whatever the Gods Do

"Jill Johnston in Motion chronicles the life of the performer, activist, and writer. Clare Croft situates Johnston as major queer presence in dance history, remedying a schism in how Johnson has been taken up in dance studies and sexuality studies, where the two passions are seen as separate and sequential. Croft focuses on Johnston's appearances in performances as both dancer and audience member; her journalism, including her columns published in The Village Voice from 1960-1980; her ten books of memoir and biography; and her raucous social activism. The structure of the book includes what Croft calls "interruptions," which are situated between the chapters. These interruptions offer more experimental forms of writing where the reader can respond to aspects of Johnston's creativity"--
Clare Croft tracks the entwined innovations and contributions to dance criticism and feminist activism of performer, writer, and activist Jill Johnston.
Freedman celebrates the beauty of the land, the warmth of her people, the simplicity of the old ways, the humor and conviviality, the sharp wit and black moods, and the kindness. Her work is a love poem to a wild and passionate beauty.
