Overview
"Mr. Tracy knows what to ask Graham veterans, and he gets answers that will interest specialists and non-specialists alike. The range of emotions, of wit, of sensibility is especially dazzling: the inner life of a great dance era is concentrated in these people and is evoked on every page." -Arlene Croce Illustrated with 65 photographsEditorials

Tracy, a writer, journalist and former professional ballet dancer, has compiled short memoirs from 31 Martha Graham dancers, recalling the experience of studying, working and performing with this small giant of a woman. They represent all the decades of the Graham era, from the twenties into the nineties, and their commentary illuminates the creation and performance of such classic Graham works as "Heretic, Deaths and Entrances, Cave of the Heart, Diversion of Angels" and "Clytemnestra".
