Days on Earth

"Days on Earth depicts the creative journey of one of the most important pioneers of modern dance . . ." - Stuart Pimsler , Art Education Review of Books

"[Siegel] provides a rich socio/historical context in which to view the development of modern dance and Humphrey's growth as an artist. . . . A signal contribution to the literature on American dance." - Martha Myers , Kenyon Review

"Siegel's [biography] is the first to combine a narrative of events with a probing and persuasive analysis of the art. The result is a volume that is both a model of dance biography and a critical milestone. With Days on Earth, Humphrey has finally come into her own as an artist of the first rank." - Lynn Garafola , Dance Research Journal

"Very well done--it should be read by all who are interested in modern dance, and is an important document that belongs in every dance library." - Paul Taylor, choreographer
