Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir of Native American teacher, writer and artist Warren Petoskey spans centuries and lights up shadowy corners of American history with important memories of Indian culture and survival. Warren's family connects with many key episodes in Indian history, including the tragedy of boarding schools that imprisoned thousands of Indian children as well as the traumatic effects of alcohol abuse and bigotry. He writes honestly about the impact of these tragedies, and continually returns to Indian traditions as the deepest healing resources for native peoples. He writes about the wisdom that comes from practices such as fishing, hunting and sharing poetry. This memoir is an essential voice in the chorus of Indian leaders testifying to major chapters of American history largely missing from most narratives of our nation's past.
Download or read book Dancing in My Dreams written by Ralph H. Craig and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you don’t know Tina Turner’s spirituality, you don’t know Tina. When Tina Turner reclaimed her throne as the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll in the 1980s, she attributed her comeback to one thing: the wisdom and power she found in Buddhism. Her spiritual transformation is often overshadowed by the rags-to-riches arc of her life story. But in this groundbreaking biography, Ralph H. Craig III traces Tina’s journey from the Black Baptist church to Buddhism and situates her at the vanguard of large-scale movements in religion and pop culture. Paying special attention to the diverse metaphysical beliefs that shaped her spiritual life, Craig untangles Tina’s Soka Gakkai Buddhist foundation; her incorporation of New Age ideas popularized in ’60s counterculture; and her upbringing in a Black Baptist congregation, alongside the influences of her grandmothers’ disciplinary and mystical sensibilities. Through critical engagement with Tina’s personal life and public brand, Craig sheds light on how popular culture has been used as a vehicle for authentic religious teaching. Scholars and fans alike will find Dancing in My Dreams as enlightening as the iconic singer herself.

Download or read book The Song of My Dance and the Dance of My Dreams written by John A. Theodore and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After reading all his works and critically reading his collection of poetry I can say that his poetry can be compared to that of John Keats and William Blake. Reading the Epilogue of this book, will give you a glimpse of the poetic mind of the poet Theodore. Hope that he continues to write poetry till the end of his life. His contribution shall always be for the mind of those who search for the truth. Going beyond the limits of institutionalised religions, he seeks the truth and it gives a sense of the mystery to all his writings. It attracts me and gives me a sense of satisfaction. He asks the reader? "Does a raindrop find itself when it falls in the river? Are you really present to the life you have? "On the paths mildly lighted by angels, I walk along to see at the end, light pure". That is exactly his life. He lives in a world of dreams and in his own world of ideas. He can love like a child and smile like a child. Simplicity to the core is his way. "I built a golden tent and called all my friends of nature to come and rejoice with me like little lambs". The gift of imagination is his great strength. In his ordinary talks, or prepared lectures or preaching in his churches, he dances with the steps of a fairy. He writes again: "perceive the soul of beauty in you, sustain the imaginative perceptions and wonder like a child". To understand his poetry, one has to sit and think and get the meaning of the symbols he uses. There is always a mystical philosophy in his mind. The naked observation of nature, dealing with myths, visionary ideas, romantic ideals, faith in the divine power, the dignity of natural man and woman, spirit and compassion.., all that, you can read here in this bouquet of poems. Professor Rudolf Rohr. "These are poems of depth with imaginative power and quality. It is a joy for the mind". Jain Jordan. "It is lyrical and inspiring. He draws from the great wisdom traditions, and leads his ideas into a culmination of ecstasy". Michelle Godson "It is an ecstasy of true romance, a romance of the soul with the God of love". Jeremiah Rosenthal "Passion, romance, God and nature, life and its pains, innocence and beauty are the constant themes of this poetry". It is like the songs of a morning bird singing in your soul. Paul Kowalski

Book excerpt: The seventh volume in Knopf’s critically acclaimed Complete Lyrics series, published in Johnny Mercer’s centennial year, contains the texts to more than 1,200 of his lyrics, several hundred of them published here for the first time. Johnny Mercer’s early songs became staples of the big band era and were regularly featured in the musicals of early Hollywood. With his collaborators, who included Richard A. Whiting, Harry Warren, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, and Harold Arlen, he wrote the lyrics to some of the most famous standards, among them, “Too Marvelous for Words,” “Jeepers Creepers,” “Skylark,” “I’m Old-Fashioned,” and “That Old Black Magic.” During a career of more than four decades, Mercer was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song an astonishing eighteen times, and won four: for his lyrics to “On the Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe” (music by Warren), “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” (music by Carmichael), and “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses” (music for both by Henry Mancini). You’ve probably fallen in love with more than a few of Mercer’s songs–his words have never gone out of fashion–and with this superb collection, it’s easy to see that his lyrics elevated popular song into art.
