Blue Note
Lolita Stewart-White (bio)

For Ernest Hunter of Savannah, Georgia

What must it have been likefor a colored man to love his woman in 1958?His heart broken open,his words choked back,stifled by the heat from an indifferent Georgia sun.He hummed his blues for her,moaned under the blows of a billy clubuntil his very last note.

Until his very last note,moaned under the blows of a billy club,he hummed his blues for her,stifled by the heat from an indifferent Georgia sun.His words choked back,his heart broken open,For a colored man to love his woman in 1958,that's what it must have been like. [End Page 79]

蓝调

以下是内容的简要摘录，以代替摘要：蓝色音符洛丽塔-斯图尔特-怀特（简历） 1958 年，佐治亚州萨凡纳的欧内斯特-亨特（Ernest Hunter）爱上了自己的女人，一个有色人种爱上自己的女人会是什么样子？他为她哼着蓝调，在佐治亚州冷漠的阳光下呻吟，直到最后一个音符。他的话哽咽了，他的心碎了，一个有色人种在1958年爱上自己的女人，那一定就是那种感觉。[洛丽塔-斯图尔特-怀特 LOLITA STEWART-WHITE 是一位诗人和剧作家，在迈阿密生活和工作。她是 Cave Canem 研究员、普斯卡提名人和巴黎-美国诗歌奖得主。她的作品曾发表或即将发表在《犁铧》、《Prairie Schooner》、《波士顿评论》、《非裔美国人评论》和《贝洛伊特诗歌杂志》上。斯图尔特-怀特是城市剧院 "本土剧作家计划 "的成员之一，该计划旨在培养和支持迈阿密的黑人剧作家。她的剧本 "7 "在阿德里安娜-阿什特中心的 "夏季短剧 "中进行了全球首演。版权所有 © 2024 约翰斯-霍普金斯大学出版社 ...
