Appalachian Spring,
a 1944 ballet by
choreographer Martha Graham,
and composer Aaron Copland,
follows Bride and Husbandman
in 19th-century Pennsylvania,
with themes of war present
throughout the story,
and the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts".

Congratulations! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:43, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Gerda, for the kind words and stopping by! Love the flowers. Picture you chose for Pollini in your story actually looks quite similar to some of Skir's self-portraits !

It's not a particularly interesting book (as I said before it's written quite poorly), but I think it's quite emblematic of all sorts of things of the 60's gay and beat movements, when Skir was writing. One wouldn't be surprised at his fairly close friendship (well, as close as Skir's friendships go) with Allen Ginsberg after reading our article on the book ;). Always good to hear from you and read the links you provide Urve (talk) 01:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
