Download or read book Burying the Mountain written by Shangyang Fang and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Shangyang Fang’s debut Burying the Mountain, longing and loss rush through a portal of difficult beauty. Absence is translated into fire ants and snow, a boy’s desire is transfigured into the indifference of mountains and rivers, and loneliness finds its place in the wounded openness of language. From the surface of a Song Dynasty ink-wash painting to a makeshift bedroom in Chengdu, these poems thread intimacy, eros, and grief. Evoking the music of ancient Chinese poetry, Fang alloys political erasure, exile, remembrance, and death into a single brushstroke on the silk scroll, where names are forgotten as paper boats on water.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When is doing the right thing the wrong thing to do? In a perfect world the answer would be never, but the world is seldom perfect—a hard lesson with tragic consequences for five-year-old Molly and her family in a sleepy rural town. It’s 1955, a time of innocence and simplicity, but behind closed doors, terrible cruelties are taking place at a neighboring farmhouse—its victim helpless to protect herself. Seeking comfort and at least some measure of independence, fifteen year old Nell takes on the role of farmhand, in spite of her youth and gender, and impresses everyone with her strength and reliability. At least at first. For Molly, who sees Nell as a playmate big sister and even a surrogate mother of sorts, it’s inconceivable that someone so sweet could bring so much bitterness and desolation into her life. She has no idea what’s coming. As Nell’s troubled home life begins to impact her work, attention is drawn to her vulnerability. Consequentially, the seemingly idyllic surface of Molly’s family life begins to unravel. With mental illness, resentment, and disillusionment, the family is torn apart at its core. The story unfolds from the perspectives of Molly, her father Billy, her mother Dora, and Nell—each struggling with their sense of invisibility over a ten year struggle. Author Maret Johanson has created a story that is poignant and insightful, and populated with complex, realistic characters to whom one cannot help but relate and empathize. This is a story of the power of human spirit, the will to survive against all odds, of forgiveness and redemption. As they grapple to put the shattered pieces of their lives back together, nobody will ever be the same. It is impossible not to be affected by … When I Became Invisible.

Download or read book Machinic Assemblages of Desire written by Paulo de Assis and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of assemblage has emerged in recent decades as a central tool for describing, analysing, and transforming dynamic systems in a variety of disciplines. Coined by Deleuze and Guattari in relation to different fields of knowledge, human practices, and nonhuman arrangements, “assemblage” is variously applied today in the arts, philosophy, and human and social sciences, forming links not only between disciplines but also between critical thought and artistic practice. Machinic Assemblages focuses on the concept’s uses, transpositions, and appropriations in the arts, bringing together the voices of artists and philosophers that have been working on and with this topic for many years with those of emerging scholar-practitioners. The volume embraces exciting new and reconceived artistic practices that discuss and challenge existing assemblages, propose new practices within given assemblages, and seek to invent totally unprecedented assemblages.
