Wednesday´s Wise Woman … Karen Kerschen.
When I started researching and writing for my regular Wise Woman post; I did not anticipate the value of and longevity the blog. Also I overestimated my so called knowledge and understanding of regular writing and its quality. So each week I am ashamed of my attempts to learn and share information about women who would ´knock me into a cocked hat’. Women, I should pay homage to rather than degrade with inaccuracies and lies discovered on the internet. Instead I should do meaningful research and give honour.
So in a bid to rectify my errors in my post about Violeta Parra I decided to read further. Then correct any inaccuracies and improve its readability. Within my capabilties I have done this I hope.
However I think it would be prudent instead to recommend Karen Kerschen who wrote Violeta Parra : by the whim of wind and I quote this book ‘combines a fascinating biography of Chile´s foremost folk singer as well as a poetical insight into Violeta´s passionate, tumultuous life and creativity. This is no doubt, the most complete and sophisticated work ever devoted to Violeta Parra, an iconic symbol of cultural heritage in the Americas’.
