Publisher Notes
"Shadow lives in the forest . . ./It goes forth at night to prowl around the fires./It even likes to mingle with the dancers". But in the African experience, Shadow is much more, an eerie image that shifts between the beliefs of the present and the spirts of the past. Brown's stunning collages, inspired by her travels in Africa, evoke the atmosphere and drama of a life now haunted, now enchanted--by Shadow.
Synopses
Free verse evocation of the eerie, shifting images of Shadow which represents the beliefs and ghosts of the past and is brought to life wherever there is light, fire, and a storyteller.
First Line
The eye has no shadow. All the children of the Moon and the Sun, the Earth, the Water, the Air, the Fire, own no shadow. Shadow itself has no shadow.
