The Sounds of Drums – A Memoir
Lloyd Kiva New ( b. Lloyd Henri New, Cherokee Nation, 1916-2002) wrote his memoirs in the last four years of his life.
Everyone who knew Lloyd believed his remarkable life story had to be told. Not only would it inspire other young gifted people of destitute backgrounds, but it also offers an insight into the role of parents and the culture around the making of an artist.
After several months of editing, thanks to a grant by W.K.Kellogg Foundation, the life story of this extraordinary man, a visionary arts educator, is about to be told.
Currently reviewed and under consideration for publication by the Arizona University Press, readers should look forward to a sincere, heart-warming and inspiring memoirs of Lloyd Kiva New.
