DANCING WITH THE YUMAWALLI
You hold in your hand a murky slice of paradise-the Caribbean beyond white sand beaches and palm trees. Dancing With the Yumawalli is a conversation with a slate of diverse characters, colloquial in the tradition of sitting next to a fire, and listening to voices talking about death, superstition and human growth. Do shipbuilders practice human sacrifice to give vessels souls? Look through the eyes of the teenager narrator and see for yourself. In Dancing With the Yumawalli, you will be required to decipher a treasure map laced with trace elements of:
Voodoo
Sex
Prejudice
Thalidomide
Leprosy
Ayahuasca
A journey into the heart of the Amazon
A yachtsman sinking his vessel for insurance money.
Come on in. Surrender to the magical spells cast by this author through language as captivating as the islands.
Comments
The volcano comprises
The volcano comprises approximately 70 percent andesite flows and 30 percent clastic material (mostly concentrated high on the cone) (Wise, 1969). Flows near the summit dip away from a source higher than, and north of, the present summit. Most of the flows are less than 3 meters thick, but notable exceptions occur in Steele Cliff and Illumination Ridge, where lava apparently ponded to depths of over 100 meters. Eruptions were relatively nonexplosive, and significant tephra deposits were limited to the flanks and a small area east of the mountain, where they rarely total more than 1 meter thick.
Most of the cone-building flows are medium-K silicic andesites; a few others are mafic dacite. The cone-building flows include no basaltic andesite or basalt, in contrast to the older Sandy Glacier volcano. The cone-building flows are phyric, chiefly two-pyroxene andesite with lesser olivine andesite; hornblende is a disequilibrium phase in about half of the flows. Neither Wise (1969) nor White (1980) recognized an overall change with time in major-or trace-element compositions.
