"In this pathbreaking collection of articles, Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall has taken us from the early 1830s to contemporary times. Only since the seventies have black women used the term "feminism." And yet, it is that concept that she uses to bring into the same frame the ideas and analyses of Maria Stewart, Sojourner Truth, and Frances W.E. Harper of the early nineteenth century, and the work of women such as the late Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, and bell hooks who stand on the threshold of the twenty-first century... She has refused to cut off contemporary African American women from the long line of sisters who have righteously struggled for the liberation of African American women from the dual oppressions of racism and sexism." —From the epilogue by Johnnetta B. Cole, President, Spelman College "The indefatigable Beverly Guy-Sheftall has put together a breathtaking sweep of African American feminist thought in one indispensable volume." —Elizabeth Spelman, Professor of Philosophy, Smith College

Let verse be free wherever you (be) is the writer's use of (be) as an optional address to champion, and or convey, his free will. It reflects a secular idiom that the writer employs, enabling a grammatical shift that conveys choice, as it is to embrace the good the bad and the ugly to determine as mordant irreligious stance. "The Humbling" as the subtitle suggests, substantiates spirituality in the verse that conveys a secular motif for "In a Hollowed Tone" that depicts, if not heightens the spirituality of the faithful as sacrosanct. The writer use words to heighten the rhythm and sound of free verse to express his unconventional ideas. He uses words to convey his original and eccentric views, all of which is devoid of accepted usage of language, mealy to convey a view and his usage of free verse. Thus, it speaks of one who believes completely in the majesty of Jesus Christ, and one who has no desire to disobey Gods lawsthe Ten Commandments. Loyalty to his reverence demands that he remains loyal to the sacred teachings of Jesus Christ and against that of the profane, as Satans plot to induce someone to his earthly view of the world and faiths abound. To be sure, (be) is used also as a substitute of the plural verb (are) as grammatically incorrect, equally as it presents a calculated opposition to the other side of Eden as related in the good book, upholds to the laws of man and his rationale. The rational id to point to the other side of Heaven, as it is here on earth. The poem, in its totality, reflects a view that reorients the faithful that evil is never good; it is an abomination to the Lord. The writer acquires this dictum as mans easy way out into doing evil deeds, while the other is an accepted fact of man willing to save himself to attain the kingdom of Heaven and embrace the God given Heaven of his congregation. (This free verse, written in the desirable third person) With a theme that reflects the Good, the Bad and ultimately, the denouement or conclusion and resolution between good and evil. The result of which speaks to a Senator, as Yes, I can do my job, and to the Representatives as no can do, give them hell. Which occasions a prayer to ask God for his forbearance and his blessings, and to give God praise for his holiness that? Moves onto his creation in free verse as His giving life to all Which progresses one of the recipients, the good the bad and the indifferent congressman, as well as the good senator, right unto a mother and her young child in his childish behavior to his mom and ultimately to the world as a whole. The theme, stretched out into the core of the poem, reveals the seamy side of life as that of the devils delights to manipulate a woman, the woman of the night, to do his biddings by soliciting her Dear Johns. It is a theme stretched out when invitations are offered to a meal given by the devil that is as much a reaction for rich and poor sinners to attend and be Satan's mimicking the blessing of the Lords Supper, while he wrestles with God by way of free will of which he challenges man.

This series rises out of my personal journey with the Runes that began during a Mask Dance workshop in Northern Germany, the birthplace of the runes. During the week I spent in a lovely seminar house secluded in among the trees bordering the heather of the Lunebergerheide, I found myself tasked with telling the story of the Runes as one of creation, not destruction. We used shamanic drumming and rattling to drive the visionary state and a specific body posture to guide our experience. My time was spent deep in a philosophical discussion with the energetic field of the Runes. It was impressed on me that the two fundamental distortions in the historical practice of Runes were the suppression of sexual energy in Christianity and the Germanic tribe's practice of ritual killing to gain personal power. I was shown how this combination inherently leads to atrocities. My first step was to seek out any creation stories I could find that were related to the runes. Somewhat to my surprise, I did not find any direct or obvious correlations between the runes names and the stories. In fact, the use of the runes as an alphabet turned out to be driven by the Christian Church. Then I looked into the current practice of Rune Stances and found their origins were both recent and suspect. Along the way, I had to admit that if the creation story of the runes was readily accessible, they would not have had to grab hold of an ignorant mixed-blood New Mexican to tell their tale. What I had to offer was my own idiosyncratic view of the situation. Since I had experience with ecstatic trance postures, I wondered if rune shapes corresponded with ancient ecstatic body postures. Once I turned towards the much older and more mysterious visionary roots of the Runes, my path to a runic story of creation began to open. I ended up with a mosaic of a sacred World Tree made of ancient bits and pieces. I hope they can open creative experiential doors for those drawn to work in the runic realms.
