Download or read book The Undressing Poems written by Li-Young Lee and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Immediate, sensual, unrelentingly intense.” —NPR A breathtaking volume about the violence of desire and the peace of love from celebrated poet Li-Young Lee, The Undressing is a tonic for spiritual anemia; it attempts to uncover things hidden since the dawn of the world. Short of achieving that end, these mysterious, unassuming poems investigate the human violence and dispossession increasingly prevalent around the world, and the horrors the poet grew up with as a child of refugees. Lee draws from disparate sources including the Old Testament, the Dao De Jing, and the music of the Wu-Tang Clan. While the ostensive subjects of these layered, impassioned poems are wide-ranging, their driving engine is a burning need to understand our collective human mission.

Book excerpt: "In O’Neill's book - at once a case-history, a novella, and something more than either - we have a remarkable story of what two people can do for each other if they can experiment with trust.†Adam PhillipsWhen therapist-in-training James O’Neill starts his placement at a therapy centre in west London, his first referral is Abraham, a silent and frightened young man in a tightly-zipped, hooded anorak.For the majority of their initial sessions, Abraham hardly speaks. But O’Neill gradually gains his trust and learns of the abuse and violence Abraham was subjected to as a child that caused him to hide away from the world - barely sleeping, too afraid to get undressed even in the shower.Over the many years they meet, Abraham’s unfolding story and bravery inspire O’Neill to confront his own complicated past. Together they achieve something radical, as Abraham creates his own kind of therapy and teaches O’Neill to do the same.

Download or read book Souls Undressing written by Zoltan Pinter and published by Zoltan Pinter. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient times many teachings were written in the style called Sutra. The idea behind Sutra is if there is something you can say in six words – say it in five. The sixth word has to be found. They believed this was the only way in which you could understand life. In Souls Undressing I set out to find the ‘sixth word’ as both a therapist and as an individual. As I embark on this journey I will relive and revive some of the pivotal moments from my therapy cases through the lens of literature and my own life experience. Along the way I found unlearning becoming more important than learning. Undressing. Loosening the hold on old patterns, unbuttoning and perhaps even throwing them away. When souls meet other souls without their usual costumes. In these stories you may easily find yourself facing your own feelings, dilemmas and life situations. You may even come to meet yourself. And me. For writing about unbuttoning our souls, the therapist cannot remain dressed either.

Download or read book Paradoxical Undressing written by Kristin Hersh and published by Atlantic Books Ltd. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristin Hersh was a preternaturally bright teenager, starting university at fifteen and with her band, Throwing Muses, playing rock clubs she was too young to frequent. By the age of seventeen she was living in her car, unable to sleep for the torment of strange songs swimming around her head - the songs for which she is now known. But just as her band was taking off, Hersh was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. Paradoxical Undressing chronicles the unraveling of a young woman's personality, culminating in a suicide attempt; and then her arduous yet inspiring recovery, her unplanned pregnancy at the age of 19, and the birth of her first son. Playful, vivid, and wonderfully warm, this is a visceral and brave memoir by a truly original performer, told in a truly original voice.

Download or read book Dress and Undress written by Iris Brooke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1958, this book deals with the details of dress – formal and informal – from the time of Charles II to the end of the eighteenth century. Most of the illustrations are taken from existing garments preserved in private collections or museums. Many verbatim descriptions are quoted from contemporary sources such as magazines, diaries, letters and newspapers. The popular idea of costume in this period is the formal aspect as shown in portraits, and the undress clothes of the time are little known although obviously commonly worn. These the author has illustrated together with the stays, hops, puffs and panniers, hairdressing and shoes that help to make up the complete appearance. The book will be of interest to those in theatre studies, costume design and social history.

Download or read book Dirt Undress and Difference written by Adeline Masquelier and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A magnificent volume! It offers brand new perspectives on body politics and identity or subjectivity formation in the post-colonial world." -- Dorothy Ko, Barnard College While there is widespread interest in dress and hygiene as vehicles of cultural, moral, and political value, little scholarly attention has been paid to cross-cultural understandings of dirt and undress, despite their equally important role in the fashioning of identity and difference. The essays in this absorbing and thought-provoking collection contribute new insights into the neglected topics of bodily treatments and transgressions. In detailed ethnographic studies from around the world, the contributors recast assumptions about filth and nakedness, exploring how various forms of transgression associated with the body's surface are drawn up into relations of power and inequality. They demonstrate imaginatively how body surfaces are powerfully mobilized in the making and unmaking of moral worlds.

Download or read book Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven written by Susan Jane Gilman and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They were young, brilliant, and bold. They set out to conquer the world. But the world had other plans for them. Bestselling author Susan Jane Gilman's new memoir is a hilarious and harrowing journey, a modern heart of darkness filled with Communist operatives, backpackers, and pancakes. In 1986, fresh out of college, Gilman and her friend Claire yearned to do something daring and original that did not involve getting a job. Inspired by a place mat at the International House of Pancakes, they decided to embark on an ambitious trip around the globe, starting in the People's Republic of China. At that point, China had been open to independent travelers for roughly ten minutes. Armed only with the collected works of Nietzsche, an astrological love guide, and an arsenal of bravado, the two friends plunged into the dusty streets of Shanghai. Unsurprisingly, they quickly found themselves in over their heads. As they ventured off the map deep into Chinese territory, they were stripped of everything familiar and forced to confront their limitations amid culture shock and government surveillance. What began as a journey full of humor, eroticism, and enlightenment grew increasingly sinister-becoming a real-life international thriller that transformed them forever. Undress Me in the Temple of Heaven is a flat-out page-turner, an astonishing true story of hubris and redemption told with Gilman's trademark compassion, lyricism, and wit.

After being rejected by his family and ex-wife, and sick of being used by people hoping to get ahead in Hollywood, Erica isn’t just a breath of fresh air, she’s hurricane-force winds.

Anxious to take their affair to the next level, Derek invites Erica to join him on an exotic Caribbean island where his crew will begin filming his reality show, Bared and Scared. Before they can reach the luxurious resort, a tropical storm separates them from the crew and leaves them lost in a deadly jungle. While they search for a way out, they’re forced to face the past, present and future. And as they battle the elements, the harsh environment will test their feelings for each other beyond anything either of them ever expected. Can their relationship survive the journey?
