Where the Apple Falls

Edición de la obra Where the Apple Falls

Poetry. African American Studies. LGBT Studies. Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Poetry. <em>Where the Apple Falls</em> resides at the intersections between woman and female—both human and environmental—and the concepts to which she is often linked: death, rebirth, victim, sexual/perverse. Seasons are crucial: from the birth of Spring through Autumn's final harvest, the work suggests a recasting of the farmer; a reclamation of both the fall and redemption/death/(re)birth on her own terms. Finally, <em>Where the Apple Falls</em> highlights the resilience of strength. Even strength denied does not die. Instead, it continues to grow in power, waiting for its calling. <em>Where the Apple Falls</em> reminds us to imagine, encourages us to answer the call, to revel in the beauty and possibility that we all embody, to consider our direction and route.
