Download or read book Roots in the Air written by Nadežda Rumjanceva and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2015 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anglophone Israeli Literature comprises a loose community of more than 500 authors and it has co-existed with the Hebrew writing tradition in Israel since the 1970s. Consisting mainly of immigrants from Anglophone countries, Anglophone Israeli Literature is characterized by a search for personal and poetic identity in a highly transcultural environment, challenging settled identities and opting instead for flexibility, flux and inclusion. The present volume considers Anglophone Israeli Literature a a phenomenon in its critical, social and historical aspects on the one hand and explores the specific mechanisms of constructing and representing poetic identity on the other hand. The book analyzes three pivotal elements of identity: language, geography and place, and political and emotional self-positioning towards the Other.
Download or read book Bagels with the Bards written by The Bards and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-04-28 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bagel Bard - noun. 1. A poet that is glazed and ring-shaped whose poetry has a tough, chewy texture usually made of leavened words and images dropped briefly into nearly boiling conversations on Saturday mornings- often baked to a golden brown. 2. -verb. To come together in writership over breakfast. To laugh so hard at an irreverent statement that the sesame seeds of the bagel you've just eaten explode from your mouth like grenade shrapnel. Welcome to the third Bagelbard Anthology. As some of you know (or can guess from the above definition) the Bagel Bards meet every Saturday morning at a designated spot. We breakfast in the original sense of eating, but also, because most of us are so busy working on our writing careers that we often find ourselves starved for great conversation. Well, the Bagel Bards breakfast hang is not only a place in which to do the aforementioned, but also to observe characters who themselves could be the subjects of poems and fiction.

All profits from this book go to the ARDC (African Refugee Development Center), an NGO in south Tel Aviv that provides shelter, education, counseling and advice to refugees and asylum seekers in Israel.
Download or read book It s All God Anyway written by Jennifer (Jinks) Hoffmann and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of reverent and irreverent poetry invites you to rethink what is sacred. Beginning with a thought provoking essay, It's All God, Anyway, is a map of a spiritual life, and offers guidance on how to awaken to, and listen for, the divine in our everyday lives. Rooted in ordinary life, the poems are readily accessible. They are simple stories about how the author listens for the hidden dimension of existence revealed through the commonplace; demanding neighbors, dinners with loved ones, blazing sunsets, impatient mothers; even the rabbit who has adopted the neighborhood. By immersing yourself in these reflections, you will discover you are thinking of the divine and your own life differently. You are being invited--by recognizing that It's all God, anyway--to live with a different intention, with meaning, purpose, and deliciousness, even if you may sometimes be rooting around in the muck. By joining the author on her journey, you will deepen your own spiritual practice, and connect with the unique language that the divine has for you. The Holy One has innumerable ways of singing us closer.

Download or read book Scene of the Crime written by Jennifer Lagier and published by Evening Street Press. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These are poems that expose all the crimes of the heart: married too young at 19 to the wrong guy, relationship as prison sentence both must serve, middle-aged in a dead end job wondering what went wrong, parents infirm, dead or dying, teaching classes to the seriously deranged, old boyfriends like “emotional herpes.” It’s all here, the raw and the cooked, words from poems like police incident tape marking the scene of the crime with words. —Alan Catlin, author of Last Man Standing Jennifer Lagier's latest collection Scene of the Crime allows access into the lives of people you may be familiar with, and some who resemble the face in the mirror a bit too closely. These poems take you on a journey of the mind, body, and spirit and offer no apologies in the quest for truth. Ms. Lagier gives a clinic on how to write tight, concise "mini-movies" that capture the heart and soul of everyday life; even if the light isn't always flattering, it is always honest. —Cathy Porter, author of Dust And Angels. Jennifer Lagier’s Scene of the Crime is an expose of gritty, unforgettable characters, past lovers, a grizzled dude, a freak parade, a prison-guard librarian, washed-aside misfits, a barista and old drunken hippies, the chemically imbalanced, coffee-shop geezers, and martyrs and cripples. These are cerebral and visceral poems filled with cinematic images readers will remember long afterwards. —Victor Henry, author of What They Wanted

Download or read book Afloat in Light written by David Adès and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Ades' luminous and honest collection, Afloat in Light, is chiefly a celebration of fatherhood and of paying attention, utilising Simone Weil's notion that 'attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity'. The collection extends to existence and loss, and a discourse on motive and meaning. Maps and moral compass are never far away in such explorations and like all good navigators Ades consults the moon and the stars to guide him through emotional terrain that crosses the globe via Australia, India and the United States. Poems about connection and love - familial, intimate, parental and friendship - hold their weight of history via scar tissue and heritage to allow 'a vast and full space to fill the maps of our lives'. Afloat in Light delicately balances that most crucial aspect of life - of how the ordinary is anything but. Ades is a poet that fully harnesses the verve of small miracles. - Libby Hart
