Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Connecticut: An Autobiographical Poem I have undertaken to edit for my ancient friend, Mr. Alcott, this naive work of his, conceived and executed after his eightieth year, but not brought to completion when, at the age of eighty-three, he lost the power of writing by a stroke of apoplexy. Since that time (Oct. 24, 1882) he has reviewed, and to some extent re-arranged the material for an autobiography which he had long been collecting, and which his friends had for many years been urging him to edit.

Download or read book On Earth We re Briefly Gorgeous written by Ocean Vuong and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times Bestseller • Nominated for the 2019 National Book Award for Fiction “A lyrical work of self-discovery that’s shockingly intimate and insistently universal…Not so much briefly gorgeous as permanently stunning.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one’s own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.

Download or read book Spleen Elegy written by Jason Labbe and published by Blazevox Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Let's twin and twine together two primary aspects of how America can see herself--the good atoms of Whitman's leaves of grass, and the engines humming their freedom on the highways that cut across those 19th century fields. Now, Jason Labbe well knows, as Whitman's atoms become pixels, we find ourselves at a crossroads, learning again and again the consequences of 'the indescribable way you shape / a past of little use.' Seeking to find that law or logic to shattering, be it in the memory-echo of personal trauma caught on infinite loop in the mind, or be it the dismal virtualities of the post- modern ether, the poems of SPLEEN ELEGY unfold their rueful nostalgia: 'I have something accurate to say that lacks perspective.' That may well be the very accuracy we most need, riding the routes of America, the byways and frontage roads, seeking anyone who is willing for a poem or two to see."--Dan Beachy-Quick "'A chunk of broken tar'--that's the color of this book. And the sound of this book is 'a train in the static.' Its poems count time in 'decaseconds of dusk.' To read this book is to feel the uneasy passivity and unerring stuckness, the particular absurdity, of certain citizens stuck in this millennium. So many lines made me laugh. And sigh. But not cry. Jason Labbe is great at melancholy. Baudelaire's mosquito is definitely here: 'I am Past / who passing lit and sucked your life and left.' The future is unthinkable and unalterable. Except. Except! Lucretius' swerve is also here. Atoms may veer randomly, which is extra significant in a book that takes place mostly on the road. 'My sutures are beautiful as a tread pattern,' he says, and it is easy (and dangerous) to fall in love with Labbe's strangled version of optimism."--Darcie Dennigan

Book excerpt: The question discussed in this book by international scholars is as to whether the possible modernity of pragmatism of around and after 1900 can still be labeled modern today, in the modernity (or post-modernity) around and after 2000. Has philosophy and philosophy of education found better alternatives? Have the alternatives of the time around 1900 proven to be better? Were the contemporary critics of pragmatism right?
