Corn Likker & Daffodils explores the intersection of history and Eve Hoffman’s life as a white, southern, Jewish woman. Seeing the KKK for the first time at seven years old, dreaming they would come and take her family away Years later the Klan bombs her synagogue –four hours after she becomes president of the Youth Group. She takes the reader to bottomland acres of corn sileage and fields of alfalfa carved into suburban streets. To a hillside clear cut and twenty foot roots of Georgia red dirt torn from the earth. To the Chattahoochee River flooding and Buck Creek a passageway for corn likker to avoid the revenuers. To the carousel at the state fair and a 4-H sewing award. To a climate of deniers and a granddaughter making medicine of grass and stones in a dented galvanized bucket. It will heal everything. Eve Hoffman brings the DNA of a revolutionary war lieutenant, a suffragette leader and recognition by her alma mater Smith College as a Remarkable Woman.
Storyteller and poet Eve Hoffman grew up on a Georgia dairy farm. Still seeks dirt roads and Guernsey cream. Her lineage includes a Revolutionary War soldier, a mill owner “hung near to death” by Yankees, a suffragette leader and a grandfather who helped shape the south as chairman of the regional Federal Reserve Bank. She’s been named a provocateur—her personal and political stories not tidily separated. Honored as a Remarkable Woman by her alma mater Smith College. Full-length Memory & Complicity published by Mercer University Press nominated for Georgia Author of the Year. Red Clay and SHE chapbooks and an art/narrative book A Celebration of Healing –twenty-one lives impacted by breast cancer. evehoffmanpoet.com Contact: evehoffmanassistant@gmail.com
