I wake to live the world. [85] Sara Jane Boyers is a former music industry attorney/executive and personal manager of performers, who changed directions to become a writer. She is a graduate of the University of California (Berkeley & Los Angeles) with a B.F.A. in Art History and holds a J.D. from the University of Southern California Law School. Boyers is the creator of a popular series of illustrated books on contemporary art and poetry. Her first book, Life Doesn't Frighten Me (Stewart, Tabori & Chang, 1993), is an award-winning pairing of the expressive art of Jean-Michel Basquiat and a Maya Angelou poem. Her second book, O Beautiful for Spacious Skies (Chronicle Books, 1994) combines the whimsical paintings of Wayne Thiebaud with the famous hymn, "America the Beautiful," written by a 19th century educator, poet and suffragette, Katharine Lee Bates. Teen Power Politics: Make Yourself Heard (Millbrook Press, 2000), Boyers' most recent publication, is an issue-oriented book on civics and political activism for youth. A resident of Southern California, Boyers is a contributor to print journals and websites, a lecturer on issues of civic and political involvement, and the creator/owner of an e-newsletter and website which focuses on political issues and current events of interest to young people. |
