< DOWNLOAD> [PDF] Kindling: Writings On the Body

Description :
Aurora Levins Morales was born in rural Puerto Rico in 1954,
of Puerto Rican and Ashkenazi Jewish parents. A lifelong
feminist and radical, artist and activist, storyteller and historian,
her writing bridges the gap between the intimately personal
and the global, between sensual experience and theory. In
Kindling she explores the meanings of sickness and healing,
suffering and pleasure, through the story of her own body, of
all our bodies, of the body of the planet.Kindling is a collage of
prose poetry, poems, essays, performance pieces and
memoir, exploring the rich complexity od living in a physical
and social body. From 19th century bomba dancers to the
environmental causes of epilepsy from eugenics to the Cuban
health care system, from the sexuality of the chronically sick
and tired, to a broader interpretation of taking back the night,
Levins Morales writes with passion and insight, self-revelation
and global,historical perspective.&#8220Auora&#8217swriting
is itself alchemy, balancing emotional nuance with rich
historical context, simultaneously speaking in an intimate
personal voice and for a collective we. She offers us
vulnerable, power-filled lyricism that moves the audience to
new understandings of their own lives as she claims her
body&#8217spleasures and pain. Her writing moves me like
no other.&#8221Paty Berne, Cofounder and Artistic Director,
Sins Invalid&#8220Meically, &#8216kidling&#8217refers to the
way bodies can be sensitized by small, repeated exposures to
chemicals or electric shocks. Aurora Levins
Morales&#8217essays and poems about the human
body&#8217sresponses to oppression describe both the
kindling of disease and of consciousness, fragments of tinder
that ignite into a blazing awareness of our bodies as sites of
struggle and transformation.&#8221Caimira Fuentes
