Book excerpt: Rodney Gómez's Arsenal With Praise Song somehow manages to yoke together lament and celebration, reproach and veneration across the borders of eras and nations. Set in the stark desert landscape of the México-U.S. border all too familiar to so many refugees and migrants, these poems scrutinize human bodies and the body of the earth as the sites of great injustices and violences-political, social, and spiritual-and as the vehicles that carry our collective legacy generation to generation.
Download or read book The Looking Glass written by Harold J. Recinos and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Looking Glass: Far and Near is poetry that searches voices in the cities of a divided America faced with an unraveling democracy and across borders where people negotiating the fragility of life offer a vision of transcendence through recovery of our common humanity. The leaps of imagination expressed in each poem reflect on issues such as COVID-19, lethal police violence, criminalized kids, school mass shootings, asylum seekers, race relations, reckless politics, and the contributions of overlooked human beings to the ongoing process of defining national values such as freedom, justice, and equality. The collection is a contribution to the artistic expression of our time with its polarization and social upheaval, and it freshly illuminates the ways rejected human beings use their agency to lurch toward justice and give voice to the possibilities of regard for all human beings.

Download or read book The Gospel of Breaking written by Jillian Christmas and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Gospel of Breaking, Jillian Christmas confirms what followers of her performance and artistic curation have long known: there is magic in her words. Befitting someone who “speaks things into being,” Christmas extracts from family history, queer lineage, and the political landscape of a racialized life to create a rich, softly defiant collection of poems. Christmas draws a circle around the things she calls “holy”: the family line that cannot find its root but survived to fill the skies with radiant flesh; the body, broken and unbroken and broken and new again; the lover lost, the friend lost, and the loss itself; and the hands that hold them all with brilliant, tender care. Expansive and beautiful, these poems allow readers to swim in Jillian Christmas’s mother-tongue and to dream at her shores.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Dead Sea Scrolls written by Timothy H. Lim and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1946 the first of the Dead Sea Scroll discoveries was made near the site of Qumran, at the northern end of the Dead Sea. Despite the much publicized delays in the publication and editing of the Scrolls, practically all of them had been made public by the time of the fiftieth anniversary of the first discovery. That occasion was marked by a spate of major publications that attempted to sum up the state of scholarship at the end of the twentieth century, including The Encyclopedia of the Dead Sea Scrolls (OUP 2000). These publications produced an authoritative synthesis to which the majority of scholars in the field subscribed, granted disagreements in detail. A decade or so later, The Oxford Handbook of the Dead Sea Scrolls has a different objective and character. It seeks to probe the main disputed issues in the study of the Scrolls. Lively debate continues over the archaeology and history of the site, the nature and identity of the sect, and its relation to the broader world of Second Temple Judaism and to later Jewish and Christian tradition. It is the Handbook's intention here to reflect on diverse opinions and viewpoints, highlight the points of disagreement, and point to promising directions for future research.

Download or read book Geographic Tongue written by Rodney Gomez and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Geographic Tongue, an important addition to the Pleiades Press Visual Poetry Series, Rodney Gomez weaves together themes of loss, identity, ethnicity, heritage, and the mechanics of contemporary life to create a collection as lyrically arresting as it is aesthetically stunning. These visual poems, crafted with both restraint and vitality, are visceral in their depiction of cruelty and grief at the United States–Mexico border. And yet, this charged landscape also gives rise to moments of tenderness, stillness, and wry humor. Gomez’s visual design is at once vivid and haunting, drawing together collage, diagrams, and abstract imagery into a bright, geometrically precise collection. His text casts such a powerful spell that in its absence, silence is heard as clearly as any phrase. Gomez writes, “You don't have to speak to speak truth,” and this lucid assertion is borne out in the collection as a whole. In its art, and in its silence, the poems of Geographic Tongue are undeniably and indelibly authentic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who said life is just a dream? The human experience is a real living event. This book will take you on a journey of a little girl--misused and abused--but through Christ overcame her many obstacles. Life taunts, and it urges the will of man to yield to its system. You and I are the strongest as we stand in faith. You are never too old to realize who you are. I was in my forties when I received the Holy Spirit and accepted the Lord in my life as ruler and Lord. As the singer Tremaine Hawkins sang, "He changed my life, and now I am free." In the best of times and the worst of times, whether we like the changing times that take place in our lives or not, we must keep pushing onward toward the goal, the purpose God has set before us. We need God's favor working in our lives to keep up with the fast pace of these changing times. When we find we have missed the mark, repent and ask for forgiveness. God is in the soul-saving business. He will hear your honest cries to him. He loves the humbled soul, the repenting heart; he hates the proud and boastful. As the scenes of life play out, every passing moment counts in our lives. We must avail knowing we live in the valley of decisions. Someone once said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick. You will go far." We have come to earth from an incredibly special place in God's heart; we will return to that special place, where we will meet our creator. What will we have to show him from our visit to earth? As the wheels of life turn, we learn to cope with the dust storms that arise from living. How you choose to receive God's droplets of life is up to you. Give thanks to Almighty God for the strength to go through, and live on the other side of the storms that must come.

Download or read book The Gaithers and Southern Gospel written by Ryan P. Harper and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Gaithers and Southern Gospel, Ryan P. Harper examines songwriters Bill and Gloria Gaither's Homecoming video and concert series--a gospel music franchise that, since its beginning in 1991, has outperformed all Christian and much secular popular music on the American music market. The Homecomings represent "southern gospel." Typically that means a musical style popular among white evangelical Christians in the American South and Midwest, and it sometimes overlaps in style, theme, and audience with country music. The Homecomings' nostalgic orientation--their celebration of "traditional" kinds of American Christian life--harmonize well with southern gospel music, past and present. But amidst the backward gazes, the Homecomings also portend and manifest change. The Gaithers' deliberate racial integration of their stages, their careful articulation of a relatively inclusive evangelical theology, and their experiments with an array of musical forms demonstrate that the Homecoming is neither simplistically nostalgic, nor solely "southern." Harper reveals how the Gaithers negotiate a tension between traditional and changing community norms as they seek simultaneously to maintain and expand their audience as well as to initiate and respond to shifts within their fan base. Pulling from his field work at Homecoming concerts, behind the scenes with the Gaithers, and with numerous Homecoming fans, Harper reveals the Homecoming world to be a dynamic, complicated constellation in the formation of American religious identity.
