Download or read book Cauldrons written by K. R. Morrison and published by Paper Press Books. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venture deep into the rich loam of this diligent collection of heart offerings. K.R. Morrison has woven a tight nest of verse with plenty of room to sift, wander, and contemplate. Bring a candle with you... and your sharpest blade. Cauldrons is among the finest in new incantation poetry. Foreword by Kim Shuck, Poet Laureate of San Francisco, Emeritus. KR's cauldron of sensual mothering understands the necessity of bone that allows the goddess to bloom. "Give all that death to me" she says, an image that viscerally repeats daily; in the come around. This tome is for the self-reflective breaking dictums of becoming a victim, unearths buried silence. A harbor reveals a graveyard for justice. Some will hold their breath. KR's imagery is of a mystic enveloping a cauldron whose image is that of a hand we wish to see, stirring behind our backs. You will face it! This word work is for those confronting countless evictions from the magic of self-worth, a systemic predilection the moon itself can't resist. -Tureeda Mikell, Story Medicine Woman Synchronicity, The Oracle of Sun Medicine This striking collection is fueled by a distinct and feminine voice and is alive with lush and shimmering imagery, full of magic, blood, and grace. The poems have a mythical quality as they speak of the bonds of family and history and stare down the sometimes violent reality of a woman's experience in this life with a justified anger, coupled with a strength that brings transcendence. Every piece hits hard and true. -William Taylor, Jr. Pretty Things To Say Cauldrons is a witch dream, sacraments of red juju, poems that permeate the marrow of bone and moonskin. K.R. Morrison is a gifted witch poet who weaves tales of reclamation. Her poems make me dizzy with literary pleasure. - MK Chavez Dear Animal

Download or read book Asia s Cauldron written by Robert D. Kaplan and published by Random House. This book was released on 2014-03-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FINANCIAL TIMES From Robert D. Kaplan, named one of the world’s Top 100 Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine, comes a penetrating look at the volatile region that will dominate the future of geopolitical conflict. Over the last decade, the center of world power has been quietly shifting from Europe to Asia. With oil reserves of several billion barrels, an estimated nine hundred trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and several centuries’ worth of competing territorial claims, the South China Sea in particular is a simmering pot of potential conflict. The underreported military buildup in the area where the Western Pacific meets the Indian Ocean means that it will likely be a hinge point for global war and peace for the foreseeable future. In Asia’s Cauldron, Robert D. Kaplan offers up a vivid snapshot of the nations surrounding the South China Sea, the conflicts brewing in the region at the dawn of the twenty-first century, and their implications for global peace and stability. One of the world’s most perceptive foreign policy experts, Kaplan interprets America’s interests in Asia in the context of an increasingly assertive China. He explains how the region’s unique geography fosters the growth of navies but also impedes aggression. And he draws a striking parallel between China’s quest for hegemony in the South China Sea and the United States’ imperial adventure in the Caribbean more than a century ago. To understand the future of conflict in East Asia, Kaplan argues, one must understand the goals and motivations of its leaders and its people. Part travelogue, part geopolitical primer, Asia’s Cauldron takes us on a journey through the region’s boom cities and ramshackle slums: from Vietnam, where the superfueled capitalism of the erstwhile colonial capital, Saigon, inspires the geostrategic pretensions of the official seat of government in Hanoi, to Malaysia, where a unique mix of authoritarian Islam and Western-style consumerism creates quite possibly the ultimate postmodern society; and from Singapore, whose “benevolent autocracy” helped foster an economic miracle, to the Philippines, where a different brand of authoritarianism under Ferdinand Marcos led not to economic growth but to decades of corruption and crime. At a time when every day’s news seems to contain some new story—large or small—that directly relates to conflicts over the South China Sea, Asia’s Cauldron is an indispensable guide to a corner of the globe that will affect all of our lives for years to come. Praise for Asia’s Cauldron “Asia’s Cauldron is a short book with a powerful thesis, and it stands out for its clarity and good sense. . . . If you are doing business in China, traveling in Southeast Asia or just obsessing about geopolitics, you will want to read it.”—The New York Times Book Review “Kaplan has established himself as one of our most consequential geopolitical thinkers. . . . [Asia’s Cauldron] is part treatise on geopolitics, part travel narrative. Indeed, he writes in the tradition of the great travel writers.”—The Weekly Standard “Kaplan’s fascinating book is a welcome challenge to the pessimists who see only trouble in China’s rise and the hawks who view it as malign.”—The Economist “Muscular, deeply knowledgeable . . . Kaplan is an ultra-realist [who] takes a non-moralistic stance on questions of power and diplomacy.”—Financial Times

As such, it is a welcome addition to our knowledge of World War II in the Pacific Theater.” — On Point: The Journal of Army History While the Pacific War has been widely studied by military historians and venerated in popular culture through movies and other media, the fighting in the South Pacific Theater has, with few exceptions, been remarkably neglected.
