    Jennifer Le Arts-1301-85402 It was a rainy Saturday when I went to the Dallas Museum of Art where I first encountered the enormous steel sculpture Ave by Mark Di Suvero, which could be an artwork for commemoration and serves as a recognizable icon for citizens to demonstrate that the building next to it as an art museum. The abstract sculpture rested on the large grassy area where the bright red steel complimented the green grass that stood next to the light gray museum. The contemporary sculpture significantly covers a large portion of the lawn and thus may represent a public figurehead to the building itself. Unfortunately because of the rainy weather, the sculpture garden was closed but I hope to revisit the museum again for that exhibit.…

    A World Lit Only by Fire: The Medieval Mind and the Renaissance Portrait of An Age, was written in 1993 by William Manchester (1922-2004) who was an American author, historian, and biographer.

    Both Craig Womack’s novel “Drowning in Fire” and Gloria Anzaldúa’s semi-autobiographical work “Borderlands” explore the intersection between queer and Indian identities. One specific way that Womack and Anzaldúa focus on these identities is through the tension between native religions and Christianity in the lives of modern natives. Both authors come up with a compelling narrative of what it is like to be native and queer in the face of an institutionalized product of Western conquest like Christianity that attempts to erase both of those identities. When read in unison with theory from Gloria Anzaldúa’s “Borderlands,” Craig Womack’s “Drowning in Fire” uses the religious journeys of Lucy and Josh to paint Christianity as an oppressive and…

It took a lot from Pale Fire to admit this fear so openly to Rain, Buffalo Hump and Black Fox. It was clear from her quivering voice and tears welling in her eyes that it pained her soul deeply to confess and accept this truth.…
