Download or read book Meadowlands written by Louise Gluck and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature In an astonishing book-length sequence, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louise Gluck interweaves the dissolution of a contemporary marriage with the story of The Odyssey. Here is Penelope stubbornly weaving, elevating the act of waiting into an act of will; here, too, is a worldly Circe, a divided Odysseus, and a shrewd adolescent Telemachus. Through these classical figures, Meadowlands explores such timeless themes as the endless negotiation of family life, the cruelty that intimacy enables, and the frustrating trivia of the everyday. Gluck discovers in contemporary life the same quandary that lies at the heart of The Odyssey: the "unanswerable/affliction of the human heart: how to divide/the world's beauty into acceptable/and unacceptable loves."

Download or read book Poetic Parables Songs and Poems written by Vickie L. Detert and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Poetic Parables, Songs and Poems from an imperfect pen" is the first attempt at publishing for the author/composer, Vickie L. Detert. With the Lord and his gifts as inspiration, there are many more works waiting their turn to be shared. Their message of faith, forgiveness, strength, hope and love have been blessings to Miss Detert and others. Now, her prayer is to share them with as many as God is willing and she trusts He will guide them through each and every word. An added bonus to the music portion of this book is that each song is presented twice. The first presentation is as melody, chords and lyrics. The second is with a piano accompaniment. In most of the later, you will also find the pieces are written in a slightly lower key, thus giving the singers a choice of range. Miss Vickie L. Detert has been a life-long Christian who has, as most Christians, faced many of life's challenges with her God-given faith being the answer, the hope and the strength she has needed. As far back as she can remember, music and faith have walked hand in hand and so despite being convinced at a young age that writing was not one of her gifts, it was not surprising that in 1978 she began writing and composing pieces reflective of her faith. As a music teacher and church musician, Miss Detert has shared much of her writings with friends, family and local congregations. Now, she hopes the Lord will use this book to reach out and bless all of those who are moved to open it's cover and look within. Her wish is that God use her work to bring others closer to Him as it has done for her.

Download or read book Hawk Parable written by Tyler Mills and published by Akron Poetry. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "...Mills proves that Faulkner underestimated a poet's ability to manage enormous shifts of scale...Haunted by the unverified possibility of her fighter-pilot grandfather's 'involvement in the Nagasaki mission, ' Mills scans skies for contrails, scrutinizes negatives, reads survivors' accounts, and sifts through white sands...Mills has written a book for the long nuclear century." - Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Hawk Parable begins with a family mystery and engages with the limits of historical knowledge--particularly of the atomic bombs the U.S. dropped at the end of the Second World War and the repercussions of atomic tests the U.S. conducted throughout the 20th century. These poems explore a space between environmental crisis and a crisis of conscience. As a lyric collection, Hawk Parable begins as a meditation on the author's grandfather's possible involvement in the Nagasaki mission and moves through poems that engage with the legacy of nuclear testing on our global environment. At times, Hawk Parable borrows language from declassified nuclear test films, survivor accounts of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, scientific studies of bird migrations through the Nevada Test Site, and the author's grandfather's letters. This book enacts what it means to encounter fragments--of historical records, family stories, and survivor accounts--through exploring a variety of forms. Hawk Parable seeks what it means to be human in the spaces between tragedy and beauty, loss and life, in the relationships between the lyric speaker, history, and personal memory.

This book was released on 2010-10-14 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is wellness an elusive construct in this socially and materially polluted world? True wellness implies more than just being disease-free; it implies dimensions of the social, occupational, spiritual, physical, intellectual, and emotional realms. Every parable, in its own way, reflects some measure of wellness towards experiencing abundant life on earth and in the hereafter. Author Trevor Moorley presents this collection of poems to whet the wellness appetite, along with insightful prose readings that will provide endurance on your wellness journey. Authorities on wellness consider it an active process through which we can become aware of and engage in choices that will accentuate a more successful existence. Wellness in the Parables through Meditative Poems and Prose provides the motivation for this development. From cover to cover, it offers a veritable dialog that will ignite a renewed appreciation for the reason for living. The stimulating, thought-provoking, and sometimes revolutionary approaches unearthed in the parables only serve to inspire us to embrace life with a passion not to glorify self, but to serve others wholeheartedly for the glory of God. The teachings of Christ in the parables are as relevant to twenty-first century folk as they were to the people who heard them in person. Explore the deep revelations contained within them.
Download or read book Language and imagination in the Gawain poems written by J. J. Anderson and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major new literary study offers a fresh view of the significance of the famous group of fourteenth-century poems, 'Pearl', 'Cleanness', 'Patience' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. It is a comprehensive study which puts the poems themselves firmly at its centre, though it is always alert to relevant aspects of their literary and cultural context. John Anderson builds his discussions of the poems' ideas on an examination of the anonymous poet’s superb Shakespeare-like language. He finds that the great fourteenth-century struggle, between religious and secular forces for control of men's minds, underlies all the poems. This title is the first in the new Manchester Medieval Literature series, which makes readability a priority. Accordingly, despite its wide range of reference and the radicalism of some of its leading ideas, this book is written in a jargon-free style designed to appeal to specialist, non-specialist and student readers alike.

Book excerpt: In this splendid introduction to the elusive rhetorical device central to the New Testament picture of Jesus, Charles Hedrick explores the nature of the parable and its history of use. He asks basic questions such as, what is a parable? is Jesus really the author of the parables? and what does a parable mean? and then reviews a range of sources--from Aesop's fables to modern New Testament scholarship--to answer them. He also surveys the various ways the parables have been approached in literary criticism throughout history, giving specific examples of each method and delineating their strengths and weaknesses.
