Edmonia/WildFire, A SoundVerse Cycle
Poems by Tyehimba Jess, Janice Lowe, Composer
Edmonia Lewis was a Reconstruction-era Afro-Mississaugan sculptor who willed herself to Rome to practice her craft. This song cycle and improvisation are inspired by the sculptor’s dialogue with earth-hewn materials, their textural beauty and the complexity of shaping freedom from a hostile political landscape.
