Turned Wood Now : Redefining, The Lathe-Turned, Object IV

Perrault, John

Arizona State University Art Museum

<p>Literary Nonfiction. United States History. Education. With accompanying CD. Republic in story and song. With commentary, musical scores, ballad lyrics, and a CD, the book explores the lives of eight great Americans: Jefferson, Harriet Tubman, Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Thoreau, Ida B. Wells, and Eleanor Roosevelt. In the best arts-education tradition, the book dramatizes how each of these figures carried forward the values of the Declaration of Independence--and how their struggles for liberty and equality continue to impact our lives. The sewn paperback with gatefold flaps will hold up to music stands and classroom use. "John Perrault has a great passion for history and a wonderful insight into the American Experience," says folksinger Bill Staines.</p>

<p>The Ballad of Louis Wagner is a riveting account of the notorious murders on the Isles of Shoals in 1873, the ballad's 'narrator' is Louis himself, the man convicted and hung for the crime. The man whose spirit is doomed to relive his transgression by repeatedly telling the tale to listeners whom fate has appointed. This collection by Portsmouth's Poet Laureate includes Sonny's Back, the story of a Vietnam Vet returning home to Old Town, as well as ballads on Henry David Thoreau of Concord, the celebrated Boorn brothers of Manchester, Vermont (they confessed to a murder they never committed), and of Portsmouth's Gerald McLees who survived the sinking of the submarine Squalus in 1939. Each ballad is prefaced with explanatory text and accompanied by a Peter Randall photograph. The book contains a CD of John singing all the ballads and songs.</p>
