The Negation of Chronology: Imagining Geraldine Moodie

Rebecca Luce-Kapler

4.9/5 (26936 ratings)

Description:Geraldine Moodie, granddaughter of Susanna Moodie, was the first woman to own photography studios on the Canadian prairies and create an extensive oeuvre. Geraldine owned three photography studios (Battleford, Maple Creek, and Medicine Hat), raised six children, and followed her husband, J.D., to eight different Northwest Mounted Police postings from the Prairies to Northern Canada. The one constant in her peripatetic life was her art--drawing and photography--and what she accomplished is remarkable. This collection of poetry casts light on Geraldine's life, using her photographs and biographical details available through letters, newspaper articles, and family interviews collected by curator Donny White. With those fragments, the poet imagines the woman behind the lens, considers possible motives for her decisions and actions, and celebrates her life and work.“With exquisite and taut detail, Rebecca Luce-Kapler’s poetry takes us into the life of Canada’s first female photographer. Was Geraldine Moodie’s lens drawn to the exotic in the Canadian West? Or did her singular approach to photography disrupt her generation’s romantic and colonizing notions of the ‘noble savage’? These compelling poems are a result of Luce-Kapler’s deep research and her skill in capturing the illuminating moments that reveal a life. The Negation of Chronology is the untold story of a remarkable woman.”—Lorri Neilsen Glenn, poet and essayist“Sustained attention lit by flashes of brilliance—the poems in The Negation of Chronology exhibit the same assurance and artistry as the photographs taken by their remarkable subject, Geraldine Moodie. Historically precise, deeply imagined, and multi-focal, this is a sequence to study and savour.”—Susan Olding, author of Pathologies: A Life in EssaysWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
