Download or read book Between the Fence and the Forest written by Jennifer Rahim and published by Peepal Tree Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparing herself to a douen, a mythical being from the Trinidadian forests whose head and feet face in different directions, Jennifer Rahim's poems explore states of uncertainty both as sources of discomfort and of creative possibility. The poems explore a Trinidad finely balanced between the forces of rapid urbanisation and the constantly encroaching green chaos of tropical bush, whose turbulence regularly threatens a fragile social order, and whose people, as the descendants of slaves and indentured labourers, are acutely resistant to any threat to clip their wings and fence them in. In her own life, Rahim explores the contrary urges to a neat security and to an unfettered sense of freedom and her attraction to the forest 'where tallness is not the neighbour's fences/ and bigness is not the swollen houses/ that swallow us all'. It is, though, a place where the bushplanter 'seeing me grow branches/ draws out his cutting steel and slashes my feet/ since girls can never become trees'. Jennifer Rahim is Trinidadian. She also writes short fiction and criticism. She is currently Senior Lecturer at The Liberal Arts Department, The University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best. The Guardians will protect and serve. The Unconsecrated will never relent. And you must always mind the fence that surrounds the village; the fence that protects the village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth. But, slowly, Mary’s truths are failing her. She’s learning things she never wanted to know about the Sisterhood and its secrets, and the Guardians and their power. And, when the fence is breached and her world is thrown into chaos, about the Unconsecrated and their relentlessness. Now, she must choose between her village and her future, between the one she loves and the one who loves her. And she must face the truth about the Forest of Hands and Teeth. Could there be life outside a world surrounded in so much death?

Book excerpt: Beth Baris had learned to survive in the slums where she'd lived all her life, but she is suddenly thrust among the elite service members of the Spacefleet of the Six Worlds. The skills that allowed her to survive in the slums are no longer relevant. Aletha Landish, an admiral in Spacefleet is instrumental in Beth's sudden change of lifestyle. Aletha had become her surrogate mother before she disappeared, and as with her first appearance, Beth is surprised by the demands the woman makes of her. She is fifteen years old, and Aletha wants her to join Spacefleet! Abiding Aletha's wishes, Beth works very hard to complete the hellish second phase of her training, and discovers she has just completed Officers Candidate School. Lieutenant Robert Jacobs, a young man with secrets of his own, makes her life aboard ship bearable. He also makes it interesting when he becomes sick while their captain is drunk, and she is thrust into the Captain's Chair when they suddenly come under attack. With a Laserian Battle Cruiser bearing down on them, Beth is required to make a decision. Should she comply with the standard operating procedure for the ship, or should she follow her instincts when they're based on what she's read rather than what she was taught at the academy?

Download or read book The Forest Lover written by Susan Vreeland and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-11-30 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her acclaimed novels, Susan Vreeland has given us portraits of painting and life that are as dazzling as their artistic subjects. Now, in The Forest Lover, she traces the courageous life and career of Emily Carr, who—more than Georgia O'Keeffe or Frida Kahlo—blazed a path for modern women artists. Overcoming the confines of Victorian culture, Carr became a major force in modern art by capturing an untamed British Columbia and its indigenous peoples just before industrialization changed them forever. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to artists' studios in pre-World War I Paris, Vreeland tells her story with gusto and suspense, giving us a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art, native cultures, and lush historical fiction.
