Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection are not confined to any one period or any one subject. Nearly every one, in the author's words, is "an attempt to understand some short passage from the work of some philosopher, teasing the passage with analogies of sense. If one were to describe the method, as Descartes described his method, the method of doubt, perhaps it might best be described as the method of failure."

Download or read book The Waking Engine written by David Edison and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2014-02-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the City Unspoken, where Gods and Mortals come to die. Contrary to popular wisdom, death is not the end, nor is it a passage to some transcendent afterlife. Those who die merely awake as themselves on one of a million worlds, where they are fated to live until they die again, and wake up somewhere new. All are born only once, but die many times . . . until they come at last to the City Unspoken, where the gateway to True Death can be found. Wayfarers and pilgrims are drawn to the City, which is home to murderous aristocrats, disguised gods and goddesses, a sadistic faerie princess, immortal prostitutes and queens, a captive angel, gangs of feral Death Boys and Charnel Girls . . . and one very confused New Yorker. Late of Manhattan, Cooper finds himself in a City that is not what it once was. The gateway to True Death is failing, so that the City is becoming overrun by the Dying, who clot its byzantine streets and alleys . . . and a spreading madness threatens to engulf the entire metaverse. Richly imaginative, David Edison's The Waking Engine is a stunning debut by a major new talent. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: “JK Rowling meets Georgette Heyer” in this series debut, a scintillating fusion of urban fantasy and court intrigue from the Hugo Award-winning author (The Guardian). Between Mundanus, the world of humans, and Exilium, the world of the Fae, lies the Nether, a mirror-world where the social structure of 19th-century England is preserved by Fae-touched families who remain loyal to their ageless masters. Born into this world is Catherine Rhoeas-Papaver, who escapes it all to live a normal life in Mundanus, free from her parents and the strictures of Fae-touched society. But now she’s being dragged back to face an arranged marriage, along with all the high society trappings it entails. Crossing paths with Cathy is Max, an Arbiter of the Split Worlds treaty with a dislocated soul who polices the boundaries between the worlds, keeping innocents safe from the Fae. After a spree of kidnappings and the murder of his fellow Arbiters, Max is forced to enlist Cathy’s help in unravelling a high-profile disappearance within the Nether. Getting involved in the machinations of the Fae, however, may prove fatal to all involved. “Between Two Thorns shows the darkness beneath the glamour of the social Season. Learning to be a young lady has never seemed so dangerous.”—Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Lady Astronaut series “Emma Newman has built a modern fantasy world with such élan and authority her ideas of why and how the seemingly irrational world of Fairy works should be stolen by every other writer in the field . . . This book of wonders is first rate.”—Bill Willingham, Eisner Award-winning author of Fables

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whispers in the Margins: A Chronicle of Memory and Mischief In the quiet corners of our lives, where the mundane meets the magical, lies a forgotten art—an art of ink and intuition. Write It Down Before You Forget It (Or Blame It on the Squirrels) invites you into this clandestine realm—a place where memory dances with mischief, and words become constellations. Imagine standing before an ancient door, its lintel adorned with cryptic symbols. As you cross that threshold, you encounter an epigraph—a whispered promise. It hints at the emotional landscape ahead, setting the tone for what lies within. Is it sad, whimsical, or mysterious? The epigraph knows. Dear reader, may you too venture forth—quill in hand—and chronicle your odyssey. For in Forget-Me-Not Hollow, every scribble is a star chart, and every memory is a treasure waiting to be found. Dear Friend, In the hustle and bustle of life, amidst the digital noise and endless to-do lists, a quiet sanctuary exists—an empty page waiting for your thoughts, dreams, and reflections. That sanctuary is your journal. Why Journal? Clarity: Pouring your thoughts onto paper untangles the knots in your mind. Suddenly, chaos becomes a roadmap. Memory Keeper: Your journal is a time capsule. Capture fleeting moments—the taste of morning coffee, the scent of rain, the laughter shared with loved ones. Emotional Release: Write about joy, frustration, heartache, or wonder. Let your emotions dance across the page. They’ll thank you for the space. Creativity Booster: Scribble, doodle, sketch. Your journal is a canvas. Your squiggles have stories even if you can’t draw a straight line. Self-Discovery: As you write, you unearth hidden gems—your quirks, fears, and secret desires. You’re both an archaeologist and poet. Tips for Starting: No Rules: Your journal is a judgment-free zone. Spelling mistakes? Scribbles? Perfect. Just write. Consistency, Not Perfection: Don’t wait for the “right” moment. Write when you’re messy, tired, or joyful. The magic lies in showing up. Morning Pages: Try Julia Cameron’s technique—three pages of stream-of-consciousness writing each morning. It’s like yoga for your mind. Gratitude Journal: List three things you’re grateful for each day. It’s a heartwarming habit. Remember: Your journal isn’t just paper; it’s a confidante, a time-travel device, and a friend who never interrupts. So grab a pen, open that blank page, and let your soul spill forth. P.S. If you ever meet a squirrel with a silver tail reading an epigraph, ask it for its favorite riddle. Squirrels are surprisingly well-read! 🌟📚🐿️

Download or read book Expanding Authorship written by Peter Middleton and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding Authorship collects important essays by Peter Middleton that show the many ways in which, in a world of proliferating communications media, poetry-making is increasingly the work of agencies extending beyond that of a single, identifiable author. In four sections—Sound, Communities, Collaboration, and Complexity—Middleton demonstrates that this changing situation of poetry requires new understandings of the variations of authorship. He explores the internal divisions of lyric subjectivity, the vicissitudes of coauthorship and poetry networks, the creative role of editors and anthologists, and the ways in which the long poem can reveal the outer limits of authorship. Readers and scholars of Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, George Oppen, Frank O’Hara, Robert Duncan, Robert Creeley, Jerome Rothenberg, Susan Howe, Lyn Hejinian, Nathaniel Mackey, and Rae Armantrout will find much to learn and enjoy in this groundbreaking volume.
