Pamela Martin

Capriccios

A Liberal Arts Adventure in Verse

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

As indicated by my subtitle, this book is an adventure in the subjects commonly studied in the humanities or the liberal arts curriculum that I pursued at the University of Chicago. Each capriccio can be enjoyed, on the one hand, as fun and, on the other hand, to explore the range and breadth of a traditional liberal arts education. The book also can be didactic and can teach and expand a thoughtful person's vocabulary.

Autorenporträt

Pamela Martin, youngest child of six, was born in Lincolnshire just after the Second World War, a time when there was no inside plumbing or central heating, when there were few cars and children played safely in the streets; a time when entertainment was getting together with the community in which she lived, safety and love came from neighbours who shared their last pot of tea with neighbours. Pamela has had three lifetimes of exciting experiences. She has been living and working for seventeen years in Montreal, Canada, and twelve years in Florida, before retiring back in Lincolnshire to write, paint and breed ragdoll cats. Her two sons were her motivation to explore the world and show them just how life must be embraced with both hands. The different cultures and life experiences have been the rich colour palette from which to weave the wonderful patchwork of her characters' personalities. Some of these personalities and stories are passed down from her family, thankfully in an era before conversation was a lost art.
