Download or read book Republic of Apples Democracy of Oranges written by Frank Stewart and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Republic of Apples, Democracy of Oranges presents nearly 100 poets and translators from China and the U.S.—the two countries most responsible for global carbon dioxide emissions and the primary contributors to extreme climate change. These poetic voices express the altered relationship that now exists between the human and non-human worlds, a situation in which we witness everyday the ways environmental destruction is harming our emotions and imaginations. “What can poetry say about our place in the natural world today?” ecologically minded poets ask. “How do we express this new reality in art or sing about it in poetry?” And, as poet Forrest Gander wonders, “how might syntax, line break, or the shape of the poem on the page express an ecological ethics?” Eco-poetry freely searches for possible answers. Sichuan poet Sun Wenbo writes: ... I feel so liberated I start writing about the republic of apples and democracy of oranges. When I see apples have not become tanks, oranges not bombs, I know I've not become a slave of words after all. The Chinese poets are from throughout the PRC and Taiwan, both minority and majority writers, from big cities and rural provinces, such as Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Xinjiang Uyghur, Tibet, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regions. The American poets are both emerging and established, from towns and cities across the U.S. Included are images by celebrated photographer Linda Butler documenting the Three Gorges Dam, on the Yangtze River, and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, on the Mississippi River Basin.

Download or read book Carsi the Refugee Planet written by Hassen Dichari and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carsi: The Refugee Planet is the fi rst of the Carsian Trilogy by Hassen Dichari. The book will be based off of five major concepts; I have accumulated for seven years until completing in 2011 when I was 21 years old. Christianity, Lords the Rings book series, accomplishments of England and Spain, and my own personal battle with my eating disorder I briefl y went through in 2004- 2005, when this book fi rst came into surface in my mind, and Ufos that they are not extraterrestrials but Demons fl ying around in vehicles of deception and lies. There are fi ve races of creatures that live in Galaxy Dichri called the Gatekeepers, Glushers, Fisheon, Humans and Gulpers. The Gatekeepers speak Felish, Fisheon speak Fishi, Gulpers speak Gulpish, Glushers speak Glushi, and the Humans speak Human. According to Earths terms, Felish is similar to Spanish, Fishi to Arabic, Gulpish to Chinese, Glushi to Russian, and Human to Swahili. The books will be based off of many accomplishments, organizations and beliefs that exist on planet Earth today and over the past 2,000 years. Most of the books in the trilogy will be based on religion, with the Gatish race (called Gatekeepers) being the savior of the creatures of Galaxy Dichri. Sakim is the head fallen Gatekeeper and his followers, other fallen Gatekeepers, are called Mikplutons. Originally named Lucius, Sakim was the Emperor of Carsi 2,000 years ago. He was cast out of Carsi by the Creator itself, along with a third of the Gatish population for leaving the one and only faith of the Gatekeepers Moral Order. Since then, he has been preparing to release the ultimate lie to the four races of Galaxy Dichri (Glushers, Humans, Fisheon and Gulpers). The time has fi nally come for Sakim to return in physical form to deceive, devour and destroy Human, Fisheon, Glusher and Gulper lives and souls with the ultimate lie. The Creator so loves the Galaxy that it does not wish for its creation to suffer like this. So, from the beginning of time, a race of divine kind was created to spread the word of Moral Order after Lucius and a third of the Gatish population of Gatekeepers were cast out of Carsi. When the word of Moral Order would be heard in every country in Gateiniya and Sogyoni, there would be more evil than ever before. To bring an end to it, the Creator would give permission to Sakim to return in physical form. At the same time the Creator would allow the crucifi xion of the Gatekeepers to begin so that the other four races would one day live on Carsi, the Refugee Planet, after this historic event, instead of living in eternal damnation with Sakim on his spacecraft of doom.
