White Overtone Dog
Give me but Silence
And a green glade
A soft Breeze
To cool the Fire in my Heart
How simple is this
Elemental Grace –
Yet far away and lost
In the frantic Pace
Life is full of This and That
Where to go and what to do
Whom to meet and what to say
Choices lost and Choices made
Mundane Details prove the Sieve
Through which my Genius
Slips away to Silence
And a green Glade.

Bianca Cristel Williams, Ph.D.
Bianca Christel Williams (born 1980) is a Black American cultural anthropologist, feminist, author and academic. In November 2016, the American Anthropological Association and the Oxford University Press honored her with the AAA/Oxford University Press Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching of Anthropology. Williams is an Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Biography
Williams studied cultural anthropology at Duke University, earning a B.A. in 2002, an M.A. in 2005 and a Ph.D. in 2009, as well as a Graduate Certificate in African and African American Studies. Since 2009, she has been an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder where her courses have included coverage of black women, civil rights, the black power movement and "the ethnography of American blackness". She encourages her students to read fiction, poetry and self-help books while pursuing academic scholarship.
Williams describes her pedagogical approach in "Radical Honesty: Truth-telling as Pedagogy for Working through Shame in Academic Spaces", a chapter in "Race, Equity, and the Learning Environment" (May 2016) encouraging her students to challenge racist institutional traditions by overcoming shame and fostering change.

Kin 70: White Overtone Dog
I empower in order to love
Commanding loyalty
I seal the process of heart
With the overtone tone of radiance
I am guided by the power of endlessness.
Everyone projects on to reality according to their own karmic disposition.*
