Download or read book No Fishing written by John Merwin and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOHN MERWIN (1946-2013) embraced fishing, looking across a stream or out a window, thinking, musing and writing. Neighbors and acquaintances, mostly unaware of John's legendary angling prominence, looked forward to his columns in Stratton Magazine, 1989 to 2006. Laced with droll countryman wit, dozens expound on rural Vermont life. More or less. As his editor, Marsha Norman, once teased,"He said all his stories are true stories. Mostly." At deadline with manuscript absent-Marsha occasionally ran a reprint and captioned, "John Merwin is on vacation." Not so. Instead, in those years he was fishing editor at Field & Stream magazine--too much to do and too little time. But even then, as F&S colleague and friend Dave Hurteau remembers in the foreword, "No Fishing" (i.e., musing) was just as important to John as fishing. While not fishing John had made time to write these Stratton columns. Missing him and his stories, readers and anglers asked for this collection, and kept asking.... So here it is: No Fishing.

Download or read book The Stroke Artist written by Bevan Choate and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist in the 2021Eyelands Book Awards At thirty-five, Dr. Bevan Choate, was a successful surgeon and the captain of his own ship. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, he was alone and adrift, the victim of a massive stroke. “Your thinking self begins to panic. You’re revving the engine with the pedal to the floor, but the clutch is still in first gear. You have been told by every impassioned therapist that the brain is an amazing thing, and they all have a story of Methuselah returning to rollerblading at six months after his stroke that was worse than mine. So, you ask of yourself the impossible. You say, ‘Look you son of a bitch. We are going to do this if it kills us both.’ And you make something happen. The first few times you look like an absolute fool. You stumble. You literally drop the ball. You are failing but at least you are doing it in style. Then, after lots of failing, you begin to start succeeding. You accomplish the impossible. Your soul, your being, your ‘amazing brain’ just won a battle that puts you that much closer to winning the war.” Brave and irreverent, The Stroke Artist is an unforgettable, first-hand divulgence of facing an unthinkable tragedy and emerging victorious to tell the tale. ​ “Young Dr. Choate had it made. At thirty-five, he had survived medical school and a long residency, and it was time to start living the Good Life and pay off his student loans. Then, something happened inside his skull and the music stopped. He had suffered a massive stroke. It wasn’t fair. Some writers are good at putting words together but don’t have good stories to tell. Others have good stories but lack the skills to tell them. Bevan Choate has both, and this is a very fine book about experiences that most of us pray will never happen. I read it at one sitting. Well done, Dr. Choate!” —John R. Erickson, author of Hank the Cow Dog Series “Readers of the Western genre are sometimes surprised and very much entertained by writers who bring their life experiences to pen and paper. From Edna Ferber’s Giant to McCarthy’s, Kelton’s, and McMurtry’s sweeping sagas, the storytellers of the West have given the reader an honest approach in writing about life’s ongoing obstacles and struggles. Soon, to be counted amongst them will be this young son of a Texas rancher, who becomes a doctor, a painter and now a novelist . . . Bevan Choate. This short self-penned story, The Stroke Artist, speaks to all who have at one time or another faced and then overcome life’s unplanned obstacles.” —Allan Harris, jazz vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter from Harlem, New York Dr. Choate received his medical doctorate from Texas Tech Health Sciences Center and completed a five-year residency through the University of New Mexico Hospitals. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with his wife and dog, Indi, and pursues painting, fly fishing, and urology.

Book excerpt: Can the brother left behind and a woman without hope work together for the good of two precious children? Nick Stafford stayed in central Washington, working his family’s large ranch after his brothers left to pursue other passions—but his toughest job is being a single dad. As a child he watched his father fail at marriage and parenting, so Nick was determined to show him up. He’d be a better husband, father, and ranch manager than Sam Stafford ever was. Despite that commitment, three years after Nick’s wife left him, he has a daughter in trouble at school and both of his girls are facing issues that force him to rethink his stubborn plans. For Dr. Elsa Andreas, life fell apart when tragedy caused her to abandon her family therapy practice and retreat to the backwoods of Gray’s Glen. Her school principal sister believes Elsa can guide the Stafford girls and that working with kids will draw Elsa out of her protective bubble. Summer on the Double S teems with life and adventure. Amid the bounty of God and land, will Nick and Elsa find the courage to build futures based on faith rather than fear?

Download or read book Dark Places written by Barry Curtis and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2009-02-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Horror films revel in taking viewers into shadowy places where the evil resides, whether it is a house, a graveyard or a dark forest. These mysterious spaces foment the terror at the heart of horror movies, empowering the ghastly creatures that emerge to kill and torment. With Dark Places, Barry Curtis leads us deep inside these haunted spaces to explore them – and the monstrous antagonists who dwell there. In this wide-ranging and compelling study, Curtis demonstrates how the claustrophobic interiors of haunted spaces in films connect to the ‘dark places’ of the human psyche. He examines diverse topics such as the special effects – ranging from crude to state-of-the-art – used in movies to evoke supernatural creatures; the structures, projections and architecture of horror movie sets; and ghosts as symbols of loss, amnesia, injustice and vengeance. Dark Places also examines the reconfiguration of the haunted house in film as a motel, an apartment, a road or a spaceship, and how these re-imagined spaces thematically connect to Gothic fictions. Curtis draws his examples from numerous iconic films – including Nosferatu, Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Shining – as well as lesser-known international works, which allow him to consider different cultural ideas of ‘haunting’. Japanese horror films and their Hollywood remakes – such as Ringu and The Ring, or Juon and The Grudge – come under particular scrutiny, as he explores Japanese cinema’s preoccupation with malevolent forces from the past. Whether you love the splatter of blood or prefer to hide under the couch, Dark Places cuts to the heart of why we are drawn to carnage.

Download or read book Life with Aura written by Patricia M. Pellicciotti and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tibetan Tantra and other ancient cultures reveal that an exact knowledge of the illuminated essence, The Aura, is vital to reawaken our consciousness, self-heal and govern our body, mind and spirit as mystics did and do. This controversial book explains how you may perceive the Aura by citing case histories and styles. The opus discourages the use of color charts and reveals why and how to find your individual thumbprint for Aura sensing to achieve self-discovery while using the techniques from the ancient knowledge of the Mystics. These illustrated alternatives range from thought processes, actual graphic visualizations, to the more musical or megahertz aspect which is the least known and the most accepted by both the scientific world and occultists. Rev. Pellicciotti says, I assure you that all of us possess the innate ability to sense the Aura. During the many years of aura self-healing instructing, it was confirmed that no two people are alike in their diagnostic methodology, but all can achieve what comes naturally to Homo sapiens. To really succeed, people need to have the liberty and guidance to explore and understand their way.
