Download or read book Song of Myself written by Walt Whitman and published by Gildan Media LLC aka G&D Media. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Greatest Poems in American Literature Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was considered by many to be one of the most important American poets of all time. He had a profound influence on all those who came after him. “Song of Myself”, a portion of Whitman’s monumental poetry collection “Leaves of Grass”, is one of his most beloved poems. It was through this moving piece that Whitman first made himself known to the world. One of the most acclaimed of all American poems, it is written in Whitman’s signature free verse style, without a regular form, meter, or rhythm. His lines have a mesmerizing chant-like quality, as he sought to make poetry more appealing. Few poems are as fun to read aloud as this one. Considered to be the core of his poetic vision, this poem is an optimistic and inspirational look at the world in 1855. It is exhilarating, epic, and fresh in its brilliant and fascinating diction and wordplay as it tries to capture the unique meaning of words of the day, while also embracing the rapidly evolving vocabularies of the sciences and the streets. Far ahead of its time, it was considered by many social conservatives to be scandalous and obscene for its depiction of sexuality and desire, while at the same time, critics hailed the poem as a modern masterpiece. This first version of “Song of Myself” is far superior to the later versions and will delight readers with the playfulness of its diction as it glorifies the self, body, and soul. “I am large, I contain multitudes,”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a reflection of what my life was, but perhaps, it is the reflection of what your life is. When you read it, you would observe that my wrong decisions and my false thoughts were not the reality of the dreams that I always had; that's why I found myself immersed in the middle of the waves, dark and strong waves that dragged me deeper and deeper, but thank God, He did not let me drown; He was always by my side, but I did not see Him. When I was about to die, He took me out in the middle of the waves and covered me with his light and with his love; you can also get out of the waves you are in today, look for Him, he is around you. Seek Him so that you can also testify to others, that God took me out, that God brought you out of the midst of the waves.Show moreEste libro es el reflejo de lo que fue mi vida, pero quizás, es el reflejo de lo que es tu vida. Cuando lo leas observara que mis decisiones equivocadas y mis falsos pensamientos no eran la realidad de los sueños que yo siempre tuve; por eso me encontré sumergido en medio de las olas, olas oscuras y fuertes que me arrastraban mas y mas profundo, pero gracias a Dios, El no me dejo ahogar, Él siempre estuvo a mi lado, pero yo no lo veía a Él; cuando estuve a punto de morir, El me saco de en medio de las olas y me cubrió con su luz y con su amor; tú también puedes salir de en medio de las olas en las que te encuentras hoy, búscalo a Él, Él está a tu alrededor. Búscalo a Él para que tú también puedas decir a otros, que Dios me saco, que Dios te saco de en medio de las olas.Show lessDEL AUTOR:Cuando yo escribí este libro, lo hice con el deseo de que pueda servirle al lector, como un mensaje de reflexión y esperanza, no es un cuento, soy yo, y lo escribí cuando me encontraba en uno de esos momento nostálgicos, cuando yo había cumplido los 55 años de edad, y estaba yo frente al espejo mirando mis canas y las arrugas que comienzan en mi rostro, sentía como el tiempo había pasado, y veía mi vida pasada, desilusionado, sentía que no había hecho nada positivo, que no había ninguna marca de triunfo en las vidas de mis amigos, alumnos, ni mucho menos, en mi familia. En ese momento, mi esposa me llama por teléfono y yo le exprese como me estaba sintiendo en el momento, ella me hablo y me inspiro y me motivo para escribir. Desde muchos años atrás, he tenido la idea y el sueño de publicar un libro, pero nunca pensé que el sueño podía convertirse en realidad; calculaba los gastos y las complicaciones. Dios uso el momento perfecto, El todo lo puede y todo lo realiza; esto parece que se me había olvidado; aunque he predicado y he ensenado sobre su grandeza, Dios todo lo puede, aunque a veces se nos olvida.Llegaron muchos recuerdos, en los que Dios me había protegido, muchas veces de situaciones muy feas, momentos desagradables que marcaron mi vida de forma oscura y de los que hoy no me siento orgulloso; más bien, me siento avergonzado, y muchos momentos y acciones por los que debo pedir perdón; y situaciones en las que viví una vida desorganizada y fuera de control, era una pobre alma deambulando sin rumbo ni metas.Es por lo que llamo este libro "EN MEDIO DE LAS OLAS"; un mundo en donde creemos que la diversión es la única salida para olvidar la realidad, y un mundo de soledad, aunque tengas muchos "amigos"; comenzamos a vivir una vida de ilusiones mirando hacia el futuro, un futuro que solo existe en nuestro deseo de vivir diferente; vida de la que tristemente no podemos salir sin la ayuda y misericordia de nuestro señor Jesucristo.En MEDIO DE LAS OLAS, fue mi vida de confusión y tormento, quizás, es tu vida de confusión y tormento, donde no existe la amistad sincera, donde se busca el verdadero amor, donde la realidad se cubre de ilusión, una vida preñada de diversiones, alcohol, drogas y tabaco, una vida en donde abunda el sueño vacío. En medio de las olas, es mi testimonio, en donde Dios glorifico su nombre, sacándome de la tormenta en la que yo vivía; también lo puede hacer con usted. En la Biblia dice: Todo lo que pidáis en mi nombre, lo hare, para que el Padre sea glorificado...Si buscas a Jesús, Él te ayudara a cambiar tu vida y cambiara toda la situación que te mantiene en medio de las olas. El me saco de la tormenta más terrible, me dio un nuevo nombre, y ya no hay más lágrimas de dolor, de soledad ni de tormento, Cristo fue mi solución y puede ser tu solución también.EN MEDIO DE LAS OLAS soy yo y eres tú; yo puedo contarlo y deseo que tu también puedas contar como Dios te saco de en medio de las olas.

As their father's schizophrenia causes their parents' marriage to unravel, the narrator finds solace and safety in the company of their siblings, in their nascent feelings for a girl at school, and in their growing awareness that they are not the person their parents think they are. With a heart as big as the prairie sky, this is a quietly devastating, heart-wrenching coming-of-age book about escaping dogma, surviving abuse, finding love, and risking everything for acceptance. Rae Spoon lives in Montreal, Quebec.

Marauding patrollers and opportunists clash with the cunning, the blood thirst, and the supernatural powers unleashed by women determined to free themselves and the men and children they love.
