Thieme's first collection of nineteen poems is drawn from the lost magic of a waning romance. The poems are a search for meaning for "a love / that once, too briefly, thought the stars / and their fatal arcs made sense", but the answers are elusive. The tone of the poems is both intimate and haunted; seeking redemption through love, but tempered with a lament for its fragile impermanence and inevitability. Thieme's the ghost dancers offers nineteen fragments of a confession: an elegy for the vanishing of a love's sense of grace as it turns to the desolation of grief and the permanence of absence.

Ghost Dance was inspired my many of the injustices in the world. I feel that the Native Americans were never compensated in the manner they should have been. Ghost Dance is an offering, and I ask for forgiveness for all the wrong that was done to them. Native are the Earth people with great wisdom and spiritual knowledge, and we tried to kill that. Let us do the circle dance as a people in oneness who still believe the spirit is alive and well. Hope is what I share, and everyone is welcome to partake.

Two dazzling dramas on American themes from the Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, Walker and Ghost Dance. On a cold winter's day on the Dakota plains, Catherine Weldon receives a caller, Kicking Bear, bringing news of Indian rebellion. In the fort nearby, a tiny community splinters apart over how to react. In Ghost Dance, first performed in 1989, Walcott turns a story with a foregone conclusion -- Sitting Bull and his Sioux followers will die at the hands of the Army and Indian agents -- into a portrait of life at a crossroads of American history. In Walker, an opera first performed in 1992 and revised for its revival in 2001, Walcott shifts his attention east, taking for his subject David Walker, the nineteenth-century black abolitionist. In Walcott 's hands Walker becomes a classical hero for his people: a leader who is also a poet.

ISBN: 9781618639080

This collection of poetry spanning five decades is a fetching together of pieces from a larger assortment. Poems included range from lyrical and free verse, to lengthy narrative and miscellaneous poems containing dialogue. Such diversity normally suggests structural influences over time; however, the author preferred not to arrange poems chronologically, rather, to observe the sum as a present experience. 'Why would a collection of poems also contain an essay? Because a poem is compact: the meticulous workings of a tiny watch. But an essay: Well, that's like the wind blowin' pages out the back of an old rumble seat. Obviously, there's something I wish to say in my elder years.' Other books by the author include: Hold Fast to Quiet Things; Delphic Particle; Menitheos, the Skeptical Savior and Unstrained Mercy. Poems have appeared in various anthologizes including Lyrical Iowa.
