Download or read book The Deed written by Carole Simmons Oles and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1991-10 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Carole Simmons Oles’s fourth collection of poetry, small events of everyday life throw open a door to meditations on the absence of a husband, on the separation from children, and on the sustenance gained from friendship and the sorrow its loss. Each poem has an ambitious range, sure in its leap from subject to subject. “In Time, with Holsteins,” for example, carries us from close observations on the daily life of cows to facts about Indian rites of penance and purification to worry about a friend’s diagnosis of breast cancer. Even as the poems take their strength from the personal, they are informed by a global concern, the poet’s belief in a network of trust and obligation. “The Radioactive Ball” reflects this concern: I caught it and screamed for water. Someone carried a pail, I plunged my hands in. The water boiled. I wore violet gloves beaded with glass. How can I pick the pail up. Where should I set it. How to turn doorknobs and enter rooms and not lift my child Is it too late to cut them off. Where will I bury them. If I burn them, who will breathe the air of their burning. Throw them into the ozone. Ship them to Mars, these death hands. No pockets will have them. In The Deed, Oles’s strong female voice is dedicated to the exploration of loss tempered by the particulars of pleasure this world offers. In the generous embrace of its vision, this collection will appeal to a wide readership.

Download or read book Notes for My Body Double written by Paul Guest and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would guess that Godzilla, the Invisible Man, Elvis, Donald Duck, Ted Williams, and the Three Stooges might have something to say about the love and loss that shape the way we see the world? And yet these are the pop-culture coordinates that chart the emotional life brilliantly mapped out in Paul Guest?s second book of poems. Winner of the Prairie Schooner Prize in Poetry, this collection plumbs the depths of nature and culture (how, for instance, ?gar? in Old English means ?spear,? and an octopus can lose a limb during mating) to give form to the darkness and the light that make us human. ø In poetry whose tone is largely one of lament tempered by a wry and intelligent humor, Paul Guest does what a poet does best: he gives us the moments of his life refashioned to reflect the larger arc and meaning of our own?of life, that is, writ large.

Book excerpt: The first book in the Gunpowder Press California Poets Series. These luscious poems feel like small museums of infinite wonder. Gallery, butterfly, stars in autumn. The wisdom of nature, the work of angels, what women endure-I love these poems. A timeless grace breathes through this marvelous book, this bounty you'll be grateful that you read. --Lee Herrick, Fresno Poet Laureate (2015-17) author of Scar and Flower, Gardening Secrets of the Dead, and This Many Miles from Desire Susan Kelly-DeWitt's concentrations come to life as if in a studio, with watercolor washes and ink accentuations. As well as mother and father, ghosts and angels, words are animated characters urgently communicating- whistling to animals or dogwood gods, pinches of anger too-a tool to save us. Is she holding a pen-or a moth by its wings? Poems like "Words" and "The Thorne Miniatures" and the title poem gaze multi-eyed at the reader from the palm of her offering hand. - Sandra McPherson, author of The 5150 Poems and Speech Crush

Download or read book Food in Medieval Times written by Melitta Weiss Adamson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-10-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students and other readers will learn about the common foodstuffs available, how and what they cooked, ate, and drank, what the regional cuisines were like, how the different classes entertained and celebrated, and what restrictions they followed for health and faith reasons. Fascinating information is provided, such as on imitation food, kitchen humor, and medical ideas. Many period recipes and quotations flesh out the narrative. The book draws on a variety of period sources, including as literature, account books, cookbooks, religious texts, archaeology, and art. Food was a status symbol then, and sumptuary laws defined what a person of a certain class could eat—the ingredients and preparation of a dish and how it was eaten depended on a person's status, and most information is available on the upper crust rather than the masses. Equalizing factors might have been religious strictures and such diseases as the bubonic plague, all of which are detailed here.
