Download or read book Whittling a New Face in the Dark written by D. J. Dolack and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. WHITTLING A NEW FACE IN THE DARK is a call to arms for language to rise above its inadequacy. DJ Dolack's poems are born from moments we must work hard to forget: the child's first funeral dirge; an empty, fluorescent-lit gas station in winter; at the bar, two drinks too far, ashamed and yet too aware of our surroundings. The speakers in this debut collection live in fear that the intimacy of solitude is indeed pornographic. Meanwhile, Dolack's lines are laced with a macabre, needle-sharp humor offering hymns of affliction, loss, and light: no matter the darkness, the pearl-handled whittling knife moves to do its job. "The poems in Dolack's scrupulously crafted debut are determined to make something distinctive and even beautiful out of their speaker's sense of apartness from this world and its fellow occupants. That they manage to do so despite persistent doubts that words can adequately bridge that apartness as they 'fumble forth / a wet mess like a soft // but definite new fawn' makes WHITTLING A NEW FACE IN THE DARK a complex, hard-won, and ultimately affirming achievement." Timothy Donnelly "Dolack's voice is steadfast, unflappable he never apologizes for the conditions under which our affection must be born. What is the difference between love and admiration? These poems intimate: Be grateful you are alive, even though it is hard. Love your chaotic home. WHITTLING A NEW FACE IN THE DARK 'is / what's come of / people giving it to people straight.'" Paige Ackerson-Kiely "DJ Dolack's mouth is 'pistol-clean...oiled' so he can sing, 'the heart's animal / heaves up terrific things and rests / against the ribcage like a fighter been already cut.' These exquisites will burrow so deep inside your chest they will steal your breath. Dolack writes beyond consequence. Yeah. He's fearless." Peter Jay Shippy"

Download or read book Ugly written by Robert Hoge and published by Hachette Australia. This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beaut story about one very ugly kid. Robert Hoge was born with a tumour in the middle of his face, and legs that weren't much use. There wasn't another baby like him in the whole of Australia, let alone Brisbane. But the rest of his life wasn't so unusual: he had a mum and a dad, brothers and sisters, friends at school and in his street. He had childhood scrapes and days at the beach; fights with his family and trouble with his teachers. He had doctors, too: lots of doctors who, when he was still very young, removed that tumour from his face and operated on his legs, then stitched him back together. He still looked different, though. He still looked ... ugly. UGLY is the true story of how an extraordinary boy grew up to have an ordinary life, and how that became his greatest achievement of all.
