Download or read book Semiotics in Jackson Pollock s Autumn Rhythm written by Nicholas Alahverdian and published by Nicholas Alahverdian Press. This book was released on 2019-01-28 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jackson Pollock’s work was that of a genius. His painting style was not merely improvisational – it also incorporated characteristics reminiscent of those artists and authors who engaged in the practice of writing and/or painting in the style of stream-of-consciousness. Drip after drip, smear after smear, mixing the two – these techniques cumulatively defined the greatness of his work. Loyal to his art and chronically dissatisfied with his performance, he lengthened his artistic stride to further his aesthetic interpretation of the world in which we live.
Download or read book Autumn Rhythm written by Richard Meltzer and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2004-09-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sublime and moving collection of essays by an eloquent master writer, Autumn Rhythm is equal parts candor, courage, humor, and desperation. A true-tongued, almost joyous gallows humor permeates the book, a meditation on what it's like to be on the outer edge of "boomerhood," on the cusp of official seniority; what it's like to have been so long associated with a youth movement-rock music-yet to no longer be young.Autumn Rhythm comes from a man whose work has always been music as much as it's been about it, and who now brings his syncopation of word, sound, and sense to the subject of life itself, as lived and lost: a frank, brilliant, and ultimately poetic contemplation of physical decline, the deaths of friends and family, and the confounding, ever-accelerating changes in our culture."A rant in [Meltzer's] finest and funniest manner, an epic vernacular monologue with stylistic roots in nineteenth-century humorists Bill Nye, Artemus Ward, and Mark Twain."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The open road has owned my heart for as long as I can remember. Until I sassy little singer stole it. Hookups don't lead to happily ever afters. A couple nights together. Nothing more. We made no promises. Our worlds couldn't be more opposite. She's all sunshine and sweet lyrics. I'm danger and destruction. She's miles away and but all I see when I close my eyes. The rhythm of the road is what I need to settle my mind. Problem is, it's taking me straight to her.

Book excerpt: In Autumn Rhythm is a twelve-minute work for orchestra inspired by the improvisational processes and artistic outlook of American painter Jackson Pollock (1912 - 1956).

The form is delineated by a metric palindrome extrapolated from the symmetrical rhythmic design of the opening section.

Download or read book Autumn Rhythm written by Leon Stokesbury and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this selection of poems written over thirty years, Leon Stokesbury careens through the Maple Leaf Bar and the Restaurant-on-the-Corner, Oklahoma City and Fairbanks, Alaska, consuming and offering up his sweet-and-sour vision of our lot in life. Whether he comes at us in masks as varied as his father and mother, Nick Bottom or John Keats, Señor Wences or Owen Glendower, it is his own Cheshire grin we spy creeping out around the edges. He readily sees the horror in the death of a New Orleans poet, in his own brother's suffereings, in the inescapable process of mutability itself, but he finds also, often enough, the dark joke at the center of things and the chance for redemptive laughter. Whether in his own deeply personal voice or in the multitude of idioms from which he is able to draw -- southern, midwestern, Shakespearean -- Stokesbury creates whole landscapes in perfected, formal lines from the shards of memories and dreams.

Download or read book A New Literary History of America written by Greil Marcus and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 1129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America is a nation making itself up as it goes alongÑa story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nationÕs many voices. From the first conception of a New World in the sixteenth century to the latest re-envisioning of that world in cartoons, television, science fiction, and hip hop, the book gives us a new, kaleidoscopic view of what ÒMade in AmericaÓ means. Literature, music, film, art, history, science, philosophy, political rhetoricÑcultural creations of every kind appear in relation to each other, and to the time and place that give them shape. The meeting of minds is extraordinary as T. J. Clark writes on Jackson Pollock, Paul Muldoon on Carl Sandburg, Camille Paglia on Tennessee Williams, Sarah Vowell on Grant WoodÕs American Gothic, Walter Mosley on hard-boiled detective fiction, Jonathan Lethem on Thomas Edison, Gerald Early on Tarzan, Bharati Mukherjee on The Scarlet Letter, Gish Jen on Catcher in the Rye, and Ishmael Reed on Huckleberry Finn. From Anne Bradstreet and John Winthrop to Philip Roth and Toni Morrison, from Alexander Graham Bell and Stephen Foster to Alcoholics Anonymous, Life, Chuck Berry, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ronald Reagan, this is America singing, celebrating itself, and becoming something altogether different, plural, singular, new.

Download or read book Here City written by Rick Snyder and published by Parlor Press LLC. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I always thought that Frank O’Hara was really a modern Catullus, transported to cast a naughty eye over NYC, so who is Rick Snyder? I suppose Lucretius is one guess, with his observant materialism, tonal modesty and plain living, but there’s also humour here, the irony of Aristophanes, bouncing through Bakhtin, Deleuze and Plato. Then there’s the hints of a pastoral Theocritus landed in Tennessee. Euripides, Catullus as well . . . he’s a poet with more than one string to his classical bow, but then there’s Wordsworth, and Ashbery, and even Basho and yes, O’Hara playing through these flash card collages and lyrical odes and oddities, atomistic instances and grand speculations. In short measure we traverse a universe of contemporary ephemera and centuries of lyric play. What remains constant here is the magic of wit and the living eye that makes lyric poetry live on every page. —Martin Corless-Smith In sly and witty lyrics, Rick Snyder forges elegies out of the neon debris of neo-liberal America. His cityscapes are simultaneously ironic and sublime, a balancing act only possible through his exacting craft and pitch-perfect ear. The poems in Here City are self-aware, reflexive, and full of wily surprise. —Joanna Fuhrman

This book was released on 2022-05-09T22:59:00Z with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The ability of a body to maintain its health and overcome illness is, in fact, one of nature’s most remarkable feats. But you must work with the electrical, electromagnetic, and more subtle energies that give your body life if you want to prosper. #2 The body’s energies are not only intelligent, but they can be engaged in intelligent dialogue that fosters your health. They are not just the force that causes your heart to beat, your lungs to breathe, and your cells to metabolize nutrients. #3 The heart has its own energy field, and this field carries information about the person. The more you work with the subtle energies in a person’s body, the more evident it becomes that you are dealing with an intelligent force. #4 The three main energies that are relevant to energy medicine are electricity, electromagnetic radiation, and subtle energies. Every breath you take, every muscle you move, and every morsel of food you digest involves electrical activity.
