Coming Alive
While standing on the seminary altar in Cambridge next to the first ordained Episcopal woman priest, Anne Ierardi was touched by the Spirit with an extraordinary power: a call to ordination. Could she leave Catholicism, the faith of her childhood, and find a home in a new church? Could she be assertive and holy enough as a leader without going back into the closet? In her inspiring memoir, Coming Alive, Ierardi recounts how she lived through the early days of gay, feminist, and religious liberation, facing cultural, gender, and sexual orientation prejudices. Along the way she survived losses in her extended Italian family and found her voice as an artist. A story of courage, persistence, and authenticity, Coming Alive will speak to people of diverse faith and cultural backgrounds—including “spiritual not religious,” LGBTQ, women, artists, therapists—providing inspiration for our journeys through time, identity, and development.

Legendary Locals of Yarmouth
With roots as deep as the earliest years of the American colonies, Yarmouth has a long and colorful history that is still being written. When Stephen Hopkins built his home with permission from the court of Plymouth Colony, Yarmouth was already home to native peoples. Bounded on its north and south sides by the Atlantic Ocean, it is no surprise that ship captains, salt makers, and merchants are part of the towns early history. Later, artists, writers, and educators also became part of the scene. The artist Edward Gorey chose Yarmouth for his home, as did astronaut Daniel Burbank. Jazzman Lou Colombo and town administrator Robert Lawton have also made their marks on the community. Yarmouths distinct neighborhoods are a source of pride, and historic preservation is a prime concern to many. The towns annual October gathering is called the Seaside Festival, to let one and all know that the people of Yarmouth are very much aware of their connection to the Atlantic.

Black British Women's Theatre
This book marks a significant methodological shift in studies of black British women’s theatre: it looks beyond published plays to the wealth of material held in archives of various kinds, from national repositories and themed collections to individuals’ personal papers. It finds there a cache of unpublished manuscripts and production recordings distinctive for their non-naturalistic aesthetics. Close analysis of selected works identifies this as an intersectional feminist creative practice. Chapters focus on five theatre companies and artists, spanning several decades: Theatre of Black Women (1982-1988), co-founded by Booker Prize-winning writer Bernardine Evaristo; Munirah Theatre Comp...
