Download or read book Sanding Down This Rocking Chair on a Windy Night written by Don McKay and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixth book of poems by Don McKay. In Sanding Down This Rocking Chair on a Windy Night, McKay again demonstrates his ability to transorm the familiar into the breathtaking, and to touch us deeply with words. These poems show just how much McKay can do with language. In the long title poem, readers will find themselves listening to a voice that makes them feel welcome and at home, yet as renewed as if they had slipped into new skins -- while the stand-up comedy of the madly speaking starling in "Sturnus Vulgaris" reminds us that poetry can still make readers laugh out loud. Indeed, that starling with the startling voice can be taken, says McKay, as an emblem for this book as a whole: "He argues for multiplicity and many-voicedness, for having centres everywhere."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the exhausted winter wind throws a snowy tantrum, it finds comfort in the friendship of two young children in this lyrical retelling of a Yiddish folktale illustrated with stunning collage. Winter Wind worked hard all season long blowing away leaves, preparing trees for coats of snow and ice. Now, Wind is tired and needs a place to rest. But no one wants to shelter so cold and blustery a Wind--not the townspeople, not the country innkeeper, not even the gnarled tree who is worried about frozen roots. Finally, Wind does what any of us do when we are overtired: Wind has a tantrum. And it is only with the help of two small children brave enough to weather the storm that Wind finally finds the perfect place to sleep. Based on a Yiddish folktale, the gentle language of this seasonal story is coupled with intricate cut-paper collage dioramas tell this sweet tale about empathy and friendship. The visuals in this book are striking for their vibrancy, palette, and movement. A perfect read for a cold, blustery day, or at bedtime with your own sleepy loved ones.

Download or read book A Windy Night written by Cyril Lucas and published by Austin Macauley. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Windy Night is set in 1799, a turning point in the development of British social conscience which will ultimately lead to the Welfare State. The beautiful Lucy Travertine is the heiress daughter of a wealthy London banker who is determined that his grandson shall bear a noble title. She is delighted when a romance of the heart with handsome young Lord Greatjoy flourishes into a proposal, and she succeeds in persuading her father to accept her choice rather than consign her to a marriage of convenience with an elderly Duke. Little does she expect the complex of obstacles, some perilous and some comic, awaiting her at her vast castle on Dorset's south coast before she finds the perfect happiness she expects. Almost immediately upon their arrival, a detachment of marines arrives to impress 20 men into the Navy and Lucy is nearly embroiled in a riot. A separate military detachment and a Customs Officer arrives to investigate claims of brandy smuggling. A Scottish landscaper appears seeking approval of his plan to create major changes on the estate farm. Entirely inexperienced with such responsibilities, Lucy has the character to master every challenge in turn.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come feel the cool and shadowed breeze, come smell your way among the trees, come touch rough bark and leathered leaves: Welcome to the night. Welcome to the night, where mice stir and furry moths flutter. Where snails spiral into shells as orb spiders circle in silk. Where the roots of oak trees recover and repair from their time in the light. Where the porcupette eats delicacies—raspberry leaves!—and coos and sings. Come out to the cool, night wood, and buzz and hoot and howl—but do beware of the great horned owl—for it’s wild and it’s windy way out in the woods!
