Download or read book In the Words of E B White written by E. B. White and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a world war."—E. B. White on fatherhood "I was lucky to be born abnormal. It ran in the family."—on luck "I would really rather feel bad in Maine than feel good anywhere else." —on Maine "The English language is always sticking a foot out to trip a man."—on language The author of Charlotte's Web and One Man's Meat, coauthor of The Elements of Style, and columnist for The New Yorker for almost half a century, E. B. White (1899–1985) is an American literary icon. Over the course of his career, White inspired generations of writers and readers with his essays (both serious and humorous), children's literature, and stylistic guidance. In the Words of E. B. White offers readers a delightful selection of quotations, selected and annotated by his granddaughter and literary executor, Martha White. The quotations cover a wide range of subjects and situations, from Automobiles, Babies, Bees, City Life, and College to Spiders, Taxes, Weather, Work, and Worry. E. B. White comments on writing for children, how to tell a major poet from a minor one, and what to do when one becomes hopelessly mired in a sentence. White was apt to address the subject of security by speaking first about a Ferris wheel at the local county fair, or the subject of democracy from the perspective of roofing his barn and looking out across the bay—he had a gift for bringing the abstract firmly into the realm of the everyday. Included here are gems from White's books and essay collections, as well as bits from both published and unpublished letters and journals. This is a book for readers and writers, for those who know E. B. White from his "Notes and Comment" column in The New Yorker, have turned to The Elements of Style for help in crafting a polished sentence, or have loved a spider's assessment of Wilbur as "Some Pig." This distillation of the wit, style, and humanity of one of America's most distinguished essayists of the twentieth century will be a welcome addition to any reader's bookshelf.

Download or read book Companion Grasses written by Brian Teare and published by Omnidawn. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to dwell in a place? These adventurous poems go on foot in search of answers. Walking the cities, coasts, forests and mountains of Northern California and New England, they immerse themselves in the specifics of bioregion and microclimate, and take special note of the cycle of death and rebirth that plays out dramatically in California's chaparral and grasslands. Inspired by Transcendentalism, Companion Grasses sees the sacred in the workings of the material world, but its indebtedness to the ecological tradition of California poets like Gary Snyder and Brenda Hillman means that it also unearths such evidence in the sensual materiality of words themselves. Both ecologically rich landscapes and highly rhythmic inscapes, these poems set seasonal and human dramas side-by-side, wresting an original, signature music from the meeting of site and sight. In pursuing an aesthetics situated in place, they compose an ethics of what it means to be a human companion to the natural world: "What we love, how we care for it, /is where we live."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Mail Order Bride Janet Hough was hundreds of miles away from home....Warmth had settled in her gut, contentedness washing over her as she fell into step beside Ezekiel. She supposed it made sense; her home had never been a warm or loving place, and she had only made that worse for herself as the years went by. This, however, was something new. A new place, a new beginning, something unknown and exhilarating. This was a chance to make things right for herself. Perhaps, once she settled in and got to know her husband, she would be safe enough to tell him the real reason she had left her family and life behind. That was all a long way ahead for them both. For now she was content just to walk beside him, to feel his strong arm against hers and imagine what her new life had in store. The rest was going to take time, and perhaps that was all right. Janet was a patient woman, and she had already come this far, had she not? But what would Ezekiel's reaction once he found out her true reasons she left home...will it hurt him? Will he still want her as his bride?
