Download or read book Walt Whitman s America written by David S. Reynolds and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1996-03-19 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bancroft Prize and the Ambassador Book Award and Finalist for the National for the Book Critics Circle Award In his poetry Walt Whitman set out to encompass all of America and in so doing heal its deepening divisions. This magisterial biography demonstrates the epic scale of his achievement, as well as the dreams and anxieties that impelled it, for it places the poet securely within the political and cultural context of his age. Combing through the full range of Whitman's writing, David Reynolds shows how Whitman gathered inspiration from every stratum of nineteenth-century American life: the convulsions of slavery and depression; the raffish dandyism of the Bowery "b'hoys"; the exuberant rhetoric of actors, orators, and divines. We see how Whitman reconciled his own sexuality with contemporary social mores and how his energetic courtship of the public presaged the vogues of advertising and celebrity. Brilliantly researched, captivatingly told, Walt Whitman's America is a triumphant work of scholarship that breathes new life into the biographical genre.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book! A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed. Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

The story of creativity is the story of who we are, a story still unfolding. It's time we come to understand it and learn how each of us can contribute our verse.

Download or read book Orbiting the Giant Hairball written by Gordon MacKenzie and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 1998-04-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is crucial to business success. But too often, even the most innovative organization quickly becomes a "giant hairball"--a tangled, impenetrable mass of rules, traditions, and systems, all based on what worked in the past--that exercises an inexorable pull into mediocrity. Gordon McKenzie worked at Hallmark Cards for thirty years, many of which he spent inspiring his colleagues to slip the bonds of Corporate Normalcy and rise to orbit--to a mode of dreaming, daring and doing above and beyond the rubber-stamp confines of the administrative mind-set. In his deeply funny book, exuberantly illustrated in full color, he shares the story of his own professional evolution, together with lessons on awakening and fostering creative genius. Originally self-published and already a business "cult classic", this personally empowering and entertaining look at the intersection between human creativity and the bottom line is now widely available to bookstores. It will be a must-read for any manager looking for new ways to invigorate employees, and any professional who wants to achieve his or her best, most self-expressive, most creative and fulfilling work.

Download or read book Nothing Else Is Love written by Gina Linko and published by TouchPoint Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if your past life wasn’t quite over? In 1998, Alice Grier is a normal twenty-five-year old, but with a secret. She plays the piano, speaks perfect French, and mixes homemade perfume as a hobby. For her graduate work in history, she's researching the historical significance of St. Paul's most famous buildings, including its rehabbed Victorian homes, breweries and speakeasies, and its labyrinthine underground maze of sandstone caves and tunnels, all used by Prohibition gangsters, star-crossed lovers, and, of course, a lingering piano-playing ghost. Rune Folkeson came to America in the 1920s as a child, a Swedish immigrant, facing life with an abusive father, a brother with secrets, and a seer mother. Rune's story is one of seeking the American Dream, with one extra caveat. He must avoid his mother's vision about him, which she's had, over and over, since the day he was born; Rune belly-crawling for his life through a darkened tunnel -- not unlike the ones below St. Paul's Swede Hollow neighborhood. Alice's and Rune's stories can't intertwine; they're separated by space, by time, an ocean, nearly a century. But then again, Alice does have a secret. She loves to make parfum, that specific clink-clank of the pipettes against the beakers, the subtle stinging smell of the perfumer's alcohol, the cool calming fragrance of the lavender buds when she would pluck them from their purple-gray stalks. You see, Alice knows how to mix scents from the before, when she lived in France, nearly a hundred years ago. In her previous life. But when Alice's discoveries at Swede Hollow begin to fade the line between past and present, superimposing her previous life on this one, here and now, Alice realizes there's more at stake than finding out what happened to the heartbroken lovers of her before. As Alice's mystery unfolds, she realizes that somehow, some way, against all common sense, her before isn't over.
