Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nous reformons le groupe. À ces quatre mots, un frisson glacé dévala le long de la colonne vertébrale de Miki St John, surtout quand ils émanaient avec une ferveur presque religieuse de son frère en tout, sauf par le sang, Damien Mitchell. Cependant, ces mots n'étaient rien, comparés à ce qu'il ajouta. Et nous partons en tournée. Quand Crossroads Gin prend la route, Damien espère que cela les rapprochera. Il y a quelque chose de magique dans le fait d'être en tournée, surtout lorsque vous voyagez dans une fourgonnette où il n'y a pas de roadies, de gérants ou d'amants pour servir de tampon. Le groupe est déjà proche, mais Damien sait qu'ils peuvent l'être davantage... des sortes de frères, pas uniquement liés par des liens familiaux, mais aussi par leur intense amour de la musique. Tandis qu'ils voyagent d'un concert à l'autre, le groupe est hanté par des erreurs du passé et des démons personnels, mais ils continuent. Pour Miki, Damie, Forest et Rafe, la scène est l'endroit où ils prennent véritablement vie et la musique qu'ils jouent est aussi importante pour eux que l'air qu'ils respirent. Mais les démons et les problèmes ne les laisseront pas tranquilles, au cours des kilomètres parcourus, le groupe fera face à ses plus grands défis: dépasser ses défauts les plus profonds et ne pas s'entre-tuer les uns les autres.

Download or read book Creativity and the Poetic Mind written by Jean Tobin and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity and the Poetic Mind mingles the voices of well-known writers such as Nikki Giovanni, Donald Hall, John Koethe, Marge Piercy, and Robert Pinsky with newer voices, and includes engaging excerpts from interviews with thirty-eight American poets. Within a sustained argument about creative states of mind, this book innovatively presents and explores the technique of «going to the place» as more reliable in writing poetry than waiting for «inspiration». It explains why poets frequently believe that talking about their own poetry may damage their creativity and why, for centuries, inspiration has seemed to come from somewhere beyond the poet. In addition, it discusses the practicality of poets' thinking that «being creative» and «writing poetry» are two separate skills: inspiration is unreliable, but experienced poets create daily.
