Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressing the universal quest for acceptance and love, the poems in this volume reflect the personal life journey of author Stania Slahor. The poetry is filled with vivid and eclectic images Slahor has gathered from her long life and from around the globe sailing, Gestapo atrocities, immigrants' struggles, troubled dreams of a defiant daughter and wife, and the joys highlighted by beauty and erotic love. In this, her second volume of poetry, Slahor provides memorable and original imagery as evidenced in the selection, An Old Lady's Treasure. She writes: / her silver hair / bursting milkweed pods / of pure silk / spindle-spun / gossamer webs / woven on the purring loom / of indian summer / the unrestrained / wavy mane / never violated by perms / or artificial dyes / a rich dowry / handed down / from her mom. Like ocean tides, the poems in Lingering Echoes ravish the soul with crushing waves of tragedy and death, and then soothe it with gentle caresses that wash away sorrow and leave it trembling with new life and hope.

Download or read book Resisting Spirits written by Maggie Greene and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resisting Spirits is a reconsideration of the significance and periodization of literary production in the high socialist era, roughly 1953 through 1966, specifically focused on Mao-era culture workers’ experiments with ghosts and ghost plays. Maggie Greene combines rare manuscript materials—such as theatre troupes’ annotated practice scripts—with archival documents, memoirs, newspapers, and films to track key debates over the direction of socialist aesthetics. Through arguments over the role of ghosts in literature, Greene illuminates the ways in which culture workers were able to make space for aesthetic innovation and contestation both despite and because of the constantly shifting political demands of the Mao era. Ghosts were caught up in the broader discourse of superstition, modernization, and China’s social and cultural future. Yet, as Greene demonstrates, the ramifications of those concerns as manifested in the actual craft of writing and performing plays led to further debates in the realm of literature itself: If we remove the ghost from a ghost play, does it remain a ghost play? Does it lose its artistic value, its didactic value, or both? At the heart of Greene’s intervention is “just reading”: the book regards literature first as literature, rather than searching immediately for its political subtext, and the voices of dramatists themselves finally upstage those of Mao’s inner circle. Ironically, this surface reading reveals layers of history that scholars of the Mao era have often ignored, including the ways in which social relations and artistic commitments continued to inform the world of art. Focusing on these concerns points to continuities and ruptures in the cultural history of modern China beyond the bounds of “campaign time.” Resisting Spirits thus illuminates the origins of more famous literary inquisitions, including that surrounding Hai Rui Dismissed from Office, by exploring ghost plays such as Li Huiniang that at first appear more innocent. To the contrary, Greene shows how the arguments surrounding ghost plays and the fates of their authors place the origins of the Cultural Revolution several years earlier, with a radical new shift in the discourse of theatre.
