Items related to Lumina: a town of voices
After the prescient dead of Our Town and Spoon River come the generations of Lumina, their molten graveyard shifts pounding fire and unpredictable blood. In this cauldron of a Carolina town slapped up around aluminum smelting, accomplished poet Heather Ross Miller mines deep its heated strivings and temptations poor whites, rural blacks, Mediterranean immigrants joined by common purpose. The metal s bright purity melds the hot crucible of their lives: Nell s grief over two children drowned, Julian s wartime B-17 screaming down, Saleeby pining for Lebanon, lonely convergences near the smelter pit where the devil himself/ won t dare spit. Miller declares, Aluminum is the religion/ of the ingot yard, and God s inscrutable presence, the hidden Jesus, infuses both the treasure and the wrecked of Lumina, place that burns every sin. Even so, Easter s second chances and luminous names abound, professing faith in everyday sweat, in all that s crafted of pure stuff,/ and redeemed.
