Download or read book Once You Had Hands written by Tasha Golden and published by Humanist Press. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lives of women and girls in the Bible Belt are often shrouded in secrecy and confined to the shadows. Now Tasha Golden’s collection of poetry, Once You Had Hands, gives voice to the silence surrounding issues of domestic violence and women’s subservience in the name of religion. In stunning language that is delicate and raw, Golden draws on her family’s Tennessee roots, as well as the distinctive experience of growing up in a conservative Christian culture. The poems move the reader, sometimes to sadness and sometimes to anger, with the disappointments of religion and its broken promises. In “When they told me he was knocking,” Golden writes about God not as an omnipotent protector or a benevolent father but as a presence that “hacked and carved himself the space/I hadn’t left him.” The desperation, and ultimate unfulfillment, of believers is sharply revealed in “(For Our Struggle Is Not Against Flesh and Blood),” in which Golden addresses the deity, “we’d cut you open, drain you dry/to drink that blood, bathe in it, see if there’s any/power in it—that ancient wine/But you don’t have a heart.” The stark and minimalist black and white photography of Michael Wilson beautifully underscores the book’s moods and heightens the sense of place created in its pages. Golden’s poems raise evocative questions about the nature of religion and its domineering relationship to those who follow it. The book’s final poem, “Once You Had Hands” keenly articulates the loss and relief felt in leaving religion: “I only know/how long I keep dreaming, asking,/How long, Lord?.../I soak my pillow, shirt, and wake/with one hand firm against my brow./It isn’t yours.” Her poignant style will haunt the reader long after the book has been finished.

Download or read book Rigatoni written by Jeffery F Dow and published by Jeffery F. Dow. This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 1529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sarah Bartlett was an Academy Award-nominated film star, an Emmy-nominated television actress and a Tony-nominated stage performer. She was also awarded her very own Varsity Jacket by the former director of the US Department of Music’s Federal Hip Hop Administration. Appearing in over 20 films (including Hearts of Sorrow, Hearts of Celery; Perkwit’s Secret Bramboráky (the fourth installment of the Blurg movies); and Shadow of the Fish), she also starred on stage in such shows as Howling at the Moon: The Dog Musical; Billiard Balls of Death; and Dreadful About Those Shock Treatments, Eh? The woman was also an accomplished musician who performed guitar and baglama not only with her own group (Zooey’s Lampshade) but also with the Hattiesburg Symphony Orchestra and Industrial Pole Bean Outlet; with the Palm Frond and Banana Spider Symphony Orchestra; and with the ’56 Elvis Quintet at the Memphis in November: From Too Cool to Too Cold Music, Art and Law Practice Festival). There were other sides to Sarah, sides that she preferred people not know much about, sides involving Queen Victoria costumes, drinking way too many sodas at one sitting, and that whole ceramic curry serving bowl (from 2400 BCE) incident, which she knew would greatly upset anthropologists all over the world. Here, for the first time, is the entire story of Sarah Bartlett’s life, including her children, her husband, her boyfriend, her shoes, her Toyota Cadberry, and her dreams (some of them involving picture frames made of cheese; some of them involving the Poky Little Puppy; some of them involving Gloria Swanson wearing a miniskirt, a pair of orange flip-flops and a T-shirt with a picture of Andy Warhol and the phrase “Hey, look, I’m a can of soup” on it; some of them involving cats with lobster claws for legs; and some of them involving copious amounts of Ranch Dressing). The book also includes over 150 illustrations, and some of them actually make sense. If you’re looking for a book that offers the best ratio of cost per laugh, look no further. Further? Farther? Wait, let’s think this through. Uhh, farther has an a in it, and measure has an a in it, so farther relates to distance. So, yeah, further is the right adjective to use. The Seattle Drainpipe Gazette says, “Rigatoni is to books as cat hair is to dogs.” The Farmington Inquirer calls Rigatoni “unobtrusive,” “mildly trapezoidal,” and “looks great under some flowerpots.” And the Tucson Rock Trader says, “If we crowdfund, we can raise enough money to get this author the serious help he so obviously needs. This isn’t a cry for help, this is a sustained scream through a set of Peavey Dark Matter DM 118 Powered PA Subwoofer Speakers.”

Download or read book Choices written by Francine Baldwin and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back Few people take the risk of sharing their truest selves, their most suppressed feelings, and their most hidden secrets with the world. Francine Baldwin is one of those few. She travels deep into her past to share both her brokenness and triumph and generously offers herself to encourage others.Choices is a necessary work for everyone—those who have experienced hardship and those who haven't—as it demonstrates the power of what God's love can do and how it can transform your life beyond what you can imagine. (Christina McSwain)A choice is an act or instance of choosing, making a selection. In life, we don't always have a choice. Especially as children, we don't have a choice of who our family members are, where we live, what we eat, and sometimes what we wear. Oftentimes, we have no choice or control over whether or not we get sick, lose a family member, or even experience a personal tragedy. However, there comes a time when we are able to make choices. Those choices affect not only us but those we love. Our choices have the ability to make our lives spin out of control and take us to a place of seemingly no return.In her book Choices, Francine Baldwin takes us on a journey recounting memorable events in her life. She tells us of incidents that marked significant changes in her life, many of which she had no choice about or control over. These seemingly unrelated events all affected her in some way, shaping and making her. After experiencing many different things in her life, Pastor Baldwin realizes that we all have choices. We have the ability to choose right or wrong, life or death. She shows us that life is found only in God's Word and doing things God's way. There is no compromising, nor is it dependent upon what someone else does. She reminds us that no matter how difficult, distasteful, or embarrassing it is, God's way is always the best way. He is true to his Word, and He will restore you and everything you thought you lost.Francine Baldwin's transparency in telling her story is remarkable. She honestly discusses matters that we all deal with: marriage, death, personal tragedy, and even our walk with the Lord. Her testimony is one of triumph and victory. She reminds us that we are "more that conquerors through him that loved us." I am truly proud to call Francine Baldwin my sister, and friend (Vivian Penceal).

Download or read book In Touch written by Paul Bowles and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This extraordinary collection of correspondence by Paul Bowles spans eight decades and provides an evolving portrait of an artist renowned for his privacy. From his earliest extant letter, written at the age of four, to his precocious effusions to Aaron Copeland and to Gertrude Stein; from his meditations on mescaline as relayed to Ned Rorem, to his intensely moving letters to Jane Bowles during her illness, In Touch fills in the lacunae left by previous biographers and offers a rare look at the many aspects of Bowles's brilliant career—as composer, novelist, short-story master, travel writer, translator, ethnographer, and literary critic. Here is Bowles on the genesis of his first novel, The Sheltering Sky; on his distaste for Western melodies and his dogged attempts to record indigenous Moroccan music; on the Beats, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, and Tennessee Williams; on the nature and craft of writing; on Bernardo Bertolucci, David Byrne, and Sting; on the decline of American and the challenges of living in North Africa. Gossipy, reflective, enlightening, and always entertaining, In Touch stands as an epistolary autobiography of one of the legendary writers of our time, and a unique chronicle of the twentieth-century avant-garde.

Download or read book Lord I Am in Trouble written by Omomaro Okekaro PhD and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-03-24 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are all in need, and God has purposed us for His own name sake. Although He cannot allow us to fail, He respects the gift of the free will that is given to humans. Omomaro Okekaro interweaves scripture with his personal experiences while on an emotional odyssey that leads believers on a thoughtful journey within so that they, too, can walk through life with unwavering faith, knowing that each step is guided by a higher purpose. While sharing insights into the challenges and lessons embraced by diverse biblical characters, Okekaro also offers inspiration by examining the spiritual inheritance in Christ, encouraging believers to fight the good fight of faith, and sharing miracles of the mouth through positive confession. Lord I Am in Trouble is an inspiring presentation that blends uplifting stories with scripture to remind believers that they are not defined by their struggles, but instead, how they rise above them. “ ... A raw and emotional journey through the tumultuous landscapes of life. Within its pages, you will find the unfiltered expressions of human experiences—tales of heartache and triumph, of loss and redemption, of faith tested and strengthened.” —JP Tucker, PhD, professor and clinical therapist
