Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In one volume, the complete short fiction of the author of The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter, including her two most renowned novellas. Carson McCullers—novelist, dramatist, poet—was at the peak of her powers as a writer of short fiction. Here are nineteen stories that explore her signature themes including loneliness in marriage and the tragicomedy of life in the South. Included in this volume are “The Member of the Wedding” and “The Ballad of the Sad Café,” novellas that Tennessee Williams judged to be “assuredly among the masterpieces of our language.” “McCullers patented the Southern gothic genre that embraces grotesque, morbid characters with such pervading themes as unrequited love and wounded adolescence. Largely set in the South and richly autobiographical, her writings have endured because of their great power and originality.” —Library Journal

Download or read book And All the Layered Light written by Charles Semones and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the settings and imagery of his native rural Kentucky, Charles Semones creates in this new collection of his poems a world of longing and desire, of passion and pursuit, of rapture and depression. In his reclusive, gospel-drenched, haunted world of draped mirrors and desperate dog days of summer, the poetlover moves along his lonely route seeking and hoping for at least a brief respite from the Gothic horrors, internal and external, that curse his journey. Semones's own autobiographical travels and travails, which he has translated into a universal poetry of the soul, will resonate deeply with anyone who thinks deeply about the human condition. You may identify his condition with your own dark night of the soul, praying, like him, for light and bliss at the end of the way. Reactions to the poetry in this new collection will be extreme. Regardless of what you may think about Semones's world and his experiences in it, I am certain that you will be affected by his inspired and expertly crafted poetry. This is Southern Gothic writing at its finest. It is good poetry that transcends time and place.

Download or read book American Poets and Poetry 2 volumes written by Jeffrey Gray and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ethnically diverse scope, broad chronological coverage, and mix of biographical, critical, historical, political, and cultural entries make this the most useful and exciting poetry reference of its kind for students today. American poetry springs up out of all walks of life; its poems are "maternal as well as paternal...stuff'd with the stuff that is coarse and stuff'd with the stuff that is fine," as Walt Whitman wrote, adding "Of every hue and caste am I, of every rank and religion." Written for high school and undergraduate students, this two-volume encyclopedia covers U.S. poetry from the Colonial era to the present, offering full treatments of hundreds of key poets of the American canon. What sets this reference apart is that it also discusses events, movements, schools, and poetic approaches, placing poets in their social, historical, political, cultural, and critical contexts and showing how their works mirror the eras in which they were written. Readers will learn about surrealism, ekphrastic poetry, pastoral elegy, the Black Mountain poets, and "language" poetry. There are long and rich entries on modernism and postmodernism as well as entries related to the formal and technical dimensions of American poetry. Particular attention is paid to women poets and poets from various ethnic groups. Poets such as Amiri Baraka, Nathaniel Mackey, Natasha Trethewey, and Tracy Smith are featured. The encyclopedia also contains entries on a wide selection of Latino and Native American poets and substantial coverage of the avant-garde and experimental movements and provides sidebars that illuminate key points.

Download or read book Get on the Journey written by David Smith and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Get On The Journey? Several years ago I felt led to start writing mens devotions. They were primarily written for JourneyMen, men on a journey and walking with Christ. I soon found out that my devotions were not only being read by JourneyMen but also by women on the journey. Daily and manly activities end up being themes for devotion. Gods Word can be applied to my life, and in turn to your life, through these devotions. Devotion life topics include fishing, washing the car, cleaning the pool, watching television, Peyton Manning being released, working, sleeping, winning, losing, granite shopping, etc. Each devotional also contains probing questions that can be used for self-examination or for small group study. Get On The Journey contains fifty-two devotions that recap a year of my life and writing but can be read and explored on your journey at your own pace. David Smith, Journeymen Why should you get on the journey? Through trials and temptations God will strengthen our faith as we journey in the race of life. It is here I find Davids devotionals an inspiration for each one of us who gather together in the name of Christ. David has a special talent for reflecting lifes circumstances as a tool to help us all join in the race together. Sometimes we laugh, and sometimes we cry. As you read Davids devotionals, meditate on your own life circumstances. Consider how God is shaping and molding you to be a JourneyMana man on a journey in life with Jesus as his Savior. Pastor Rod Lindemann, Journeymen
