Carole King on Abuse and Empowerment

|
By Jane Eisner
| Lilith Magazine Verified
Carole King, curly-headed Jewish songstress from Brooklyn, is known for creating one of the most stone-cold brilliant songwriting catalogs of the last century. And she’s also a memorable performer: Her silhouette at a piano has become an instantly recognizable image, synonymous with emotional, earthy, confessional art. But King’s songs and her life are as complex and layered as her work.

Email Print I was 15 years old in the summer of 1971. I remember it as a dispiriting time. American efforts in the Vietnam War were failing while public demonstrations grew bolder and more consequential. The Pentagon Papers exposed the government’s lies to the public. Inflation was rising. After the tumultuous 1960s, the nation was anxious and exhausted. For many of us stuck in crowded, troubled high schools in chaotic cities or listless suburbs, music offered a powerful release.

‘A Sand County Almanac’ remains an environmental classic at 75

|
By Jane Eisner
| The Portland Press Herald Verified
Aldo Leopold (1887-1948) is often described as the father of environmental ethics. His seminal book, “A Sand County Almanac,” was first published 75 years ago and remains a foundational text in nature writing. Still in print, it’s a classic in the classroom and, as Barbara Kingsolver has written, “the manifesto of a movement.” It is full of memorable, finely observed writing and is a landmark in American philosophical thought. Among his many followers, Leopold is a legend.

In the early 1970s, American Jews were, on the whole, centrist and conventional. Most were married, and most to other Jews. Their largest religious denomination was the Conservative movement, with its bland, spacious suburban synagogues, representing the middle ground between fusty tradition and full-forced reform. This was a community that seemed to have settled into a comfortable status quo, steadily assimilating in the postwar years and ascending into the middle class.
