On the Ledge

Autor Rifka Krummel Editat de Marian Angele
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2017
Dr. Krummel's poetry reflects her astute awareness, amazing courage and commitment to humanity and morality. From her memories as a small child painfully aware of the horrors of the Holocaust, forced to Americanize (Regina) her given name (Rifka), to her volunteer classes in creative writing and therapeutic poetry in some of America's cruelest prisons, to her present-day battle against cancer, Dr. Krummel always writes with a voice of conscience souled by an intimate acquaintance with abuse, the loss of dignity and hopelessness in the lives of women and men that have been exiled, silenced, forgotten. Through her singular, penetrating lens you glimpse the darker, shadowy world that exists behind the glittery facades of consumerism and false promises of capitalism that have captivated those who consider themselves "free."

Notă biografică

The author, Regina (Rifka) Krummel received her Ed.D from Columbia's Teachers' College, taught at NYU, Columbia and many other universities and schools. She retired from Queens College CUNY, after 33 years, as Full Professor, Emerita. She has spent many years doing poetry therapy and creative writing in prisons in the UK and USA. She trained future high school teachers at Rikers Island's male prison. She did poetry therapy in the New York State women's maximum security prison in the psychiatric division of the institution. She continues to teach creative writing in an adult program in Connecticut. Together with her husband Dr. William Krummel, she has volunteered in India and China in the area of education and professional development for teachers of English. She believes living is an endless search in expanding one's knowledge of the world through teaching and exploring new cultures, including the dehumanizing effects of the whitewashed American prison system.
