Descripción de Fierce and Delicate - Author Renée K. Nicholson on Big Blend Radio

On this episode of Big Blend Radio, acclaimed author, writer, and poet Renée K. Nicholson discusses her memoir, "Fierce and Delicate: Essays on Dance and Illness." Renée Nicholson’s professional training in ballet had both moments of magnificence and moments of torment, from fittings of elaborate platter tutus to strange language barriers and unrealistic expectations of the body.


In "Fierce and Delicate," she looks back on the often confused and driven self she had been shaped into—always away from home, with friends who were also rivals, influenced by teachers in ways sometimes productive and at other times ordering on sadistic—and finds beauty in the small roles she performed. When, inevitably, Nicholson moved on from dancing, severed from her first love by illness, she discovered that she retained the lyricism and narrative of ballet itself as she negotiated life with rheumatoid arthritis.
