An homage to the life of poet, writer, and teaching artist Judith
Tannenbaum and her impact on incarcerated and marginalized
students. The Book of Judith honors Judith Tannenbaum but also
reflects, through both form and content, on the complexities of
seeing both the parts and the whole. The book presents different
aspects of Judith-poet, teaching artist, friend, mentor,
colleague-through a collection of original poetry, prose, essay,
illustration, and fiction from 33 contributors. In so doing, it
echoes her own determination to perceive contradiction without
judgment. For the next generation of teaching artists in
Corrections and elsewhere, the book serves as an inspiration on the
qualities needed to survive and thrive in a multi-faceted,
ever-changing environment. The book is divided into four sections,
separated by riveting black and white pencil drawings inspired by
the lives of those serving life in prison without possibility of
parole. In Unfinished Conversations, contributors share their bond
with Judith Tannenbaum through prose and excerpts from letters both
real and imagined. In the second section, After December, poets
reflect on the life, artistry, and legacy of Judith. The third
section, Looking and Listening, focuses on the truth-seeking
qualities that Judith brought to her work. The fourth section,
Legacy, features work from winners of an award and a fellowship
bestowed in her name.
