SUMMARY:Word Up Recirculation: Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco's HONORING SAPPHO & SAPPHO EN SANTO DOMINGO
DESCRIPTION:Word Up welcomes Jacqueline Jimenez Polanco to celebrate the launch of Honoring Sappho: A Lesbian Poetry book and Sappho en Santo Domingo: Un poemario lésbico. \nThis event is a $5 suggested donation ticket. Please register in advance. \nIn compliance with Word Up Community Safety guidelines\, all attendees are encouraged to stay masked at all time. \nRecirculation\, a project of Word Up Community Bookshop\, is located at 876 Riverside Drive (near 160th St.) in Washington Heights\, NYC. You can take the 1 train to 157th St.\, A/C train to 163rd St.\, and the M4 and M5 to Broadway and 159/160th. \nABOUT HONORING SAPPHO\nThis poetry book compiles original poems written by the author\, Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco\, and her personal creative expansion of several Sappho’s fragments. The book has been written to honor Sappho and express the author’s admiration for Sappho’s extraordinary life during which she nurtured a genuine lesbian romance with Atthis and built a diverse lesbian community with women she mentored to write and sing poetry for love\, leisure\, companionship\, support\, and visibility. This book is a tribute to Sappho’s rich and unique poetic work and a token of gratitude to the first and grand lesbian Muse in the history of humanity. \nSOBRE SAPPHO EN SANTO DOMINGO\nHe conversado en sueños con Sappho. Ella me cuenta los desafíos de su relación con Atthis\, sus proezas para verla y estar juntas\, sus anhelos no realizados\, las lágrimas derramadas y la alegría de vivir felices en Santo Domingo luego de tanto pesar. De esa conversación nace mi inspiración para este libro de poesía lésbica que escribo con gran emoción en honor a Sappho\, la gran Musa lésbica de la historia de la humanidad. En este poemario\, la lectora se deleitará con una prosa cotidiana de una estética excelsa sobre la isla caribeña\, su gente\, su arte\, sus costumbres\, el erotismo lésbico y una reflexión profunda sobre tradiciones que limitan el lesbianismo en su más auténtica expresión. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nJacqueline Jiménez Polanco is Associate Professor of Sociology at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York (CUNY). She holds a Ph.D. in political science and sociology from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid with a concentration in political changes in contemporary democracies. Dr. Jiménez Polanco is the author of Los partidos políticos en la República Dominicana: Actividad electoral y desarrollo organizativo and Corrupción y cartelización de la política en la República Dominicana and co-editor of Dominican Politics in the Twenty First Century: Continuity and Change. She was granted a PSC-CUNY Award in 2023.
