The Art of María Berrío
María Berrío at the Victoria Miro Gallery
Translation by Anne Spencer We trekked into a far country, My friend and I. Our deeper content was never spoken, But each knew all the other said. He told me how calm his soul was laid By the lack of anvil and strife. “The wooing kestrel,” I said, “mutes his mating-note To please the harmony of this sweet silence.” And when at the day’s end We laid tired bodies ’gainst The loose warm sands, And the air fleeced its particles for a coverlet; When star after star came out To guard their lovers in oblivion— My soul so leapt that my evening prayer Stole my morning song!
Drag Performance of the Week: Jim Bailey Sings Judy Garland (not a lip sync!)
Judy Garland loved Jim Bailey's drag act, performed with him onstage, and became his close friend and mentor until her tragic death at age 47. Judy Garland would have turned 100 on June 10th, 2022. Her death on June 22nd, 1969, preceded the Stonewall Rebellion on June 28th, marking this month as the 53rd anniversary of the birth of the modern LGBTQ+ civil rights movement.
Happy Wednesday everyone! What are you loving this Wednesday?
