ldquo;A glimpse into the fragile psyche of a dancer.rdquo; mdash;The Washington PostJenifer Ringer; a principal dancer with the New York City Ballet; was thrust into the headlines after her weight was commented on by a New York Times critic; and her response ignited a public dialogue about dance and weight.Ballet aficionados and aspiring performers of all ages will want to join Ringer behind the scenes as she shares her journey from student to star and candidly discusses both her struggle with an eating disorder and the media storm that erupted after the Times review. An unusually upbeat account of life on the stage; Dancing Through It is also a coming-of-age story and an inspiring memoir of faith and of triumph over the body issues that torment all too many women and men.

With all 116 plates originally in the Trianon Press editionBy Midwest Book ReviewBlake created his series of 116 watercolors at the turn of the century to illustrate 13 poems by Thomas Gray: this reproduces his watercolors in an affordable edition; allowing a much wider audience access to his works. Blakes Watercolours For The Poems Of Thomas Gray republishes all 116 plates originally in the Trianon Press edition.
