Book excerpt: How would your career, social life, family ties, carbon footprint and mental health be affected if you could not leave the city where you live? Artist Ellie Harrison sparked a fast-and-furious debate about class, capitalism, art, education and much more, when news of her year-long project The Glasgow Effect went viral at the start of 2016. Named after the term used to describe Glasgow's mysteriously poor public health and funded to the tune of £15,000 by Creative Scotland, this controversial 'durational performance' centred on a simple proposition – that the artist would refuse to travel beyond Glasgow's city limits, or use any vehicles except her bike, for a whole calendar year.

Book excerpt: “Paul Tran’s debut collection of poems is indelible, this remarkable voice transforming itself as you read, eventually transforming you.” —Alexander Chee, author of How to Write an Autobiographical Novel “This powerful debut marshals narrative lyrics and stark beauty to address personal and political violence.” —New York Times Book Review A profound meditation on physical, emotional, and psychological transformation in the aftermath of imperial violence and interpersonal abuse, from a poet both “tender and unflinching” (Khadijah Queen) Visceral and astonishing, Paul Tran's debut poetry collection All the Flowers Kneeling investigates intergenerational trauma, sexual violence, and U.S. imperialism in order to radically alter our understanding of freedom, power, and control. In poems of desire, gender, bodies, legacies, and imagined futures, Tran’s poems elucidate the complex and harrowing processes of reckoning and recovery, enhanced by innovative poetic forms that mirror the nonlinear emotional and psychological experiences of trauma survivors. At once grand and intimate, commanding and deeply vulnerable, All the Flowers Kneeling revels in rediscovering and reconfiguring the self, and ultimately becomes an essential testament to the human capacity for resilience, endurance, and love.

Download or read book Journeys written by Sylvia A. Martinez and published by . This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Come with me on a journey through space and time; to various places on earth and out of it; to places as easily accessed as your own back yard, and places that can only be reached deep in the memory or the soul. Take my hand, let's begin... This collection of poems, written over the span of some years, comprises an autobiography of sorts: each one has special meaning to me or addresses some aspect of my life. I wrote them as a legacy for my children and grandchildren, but I believe they speak to a much larger audience about the universal themes of relationships, family, the wonders of nature, and the questions we humans have concerning the meaning of it all. From this you might think that this is a very serious tome, but such is not the case. Quite a few of the poems are lighthearted in nature; and I attempted to endow all of them with a lyrical quality that makes for easy reading. I hope you will now accompany me on my journeys in verse.

No poet in English writes with more authority."-Yvor Winters "Pinkerton's work is . . . remarkable for its intelligence. Her poems are not only enjoyable to read, but rewarding to think about.

Download or read book MPH and Other Road Poems written by Ed Roberson and published by . This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Edited by Andrew Peart. In 2015, while, in his words, "dismantling my house in New Jersey and preparing it for sale," Ed Roberson discovered in some envelopes in his attic a manuscript he thought lost, drawn from the experiences of the summer of 1970, when the poet, along with two friends, rode cross-country from Pittsburgh to San Francisco and back on two BMW motorcycles. The recovery of this manuscript,--over forty years later--alerted Roberson to the fact that he had been relating to its material ever since, yielding for him work that "calls across the span of a lifetime." MPH is Roberson's epic, serial road poem, decades in the making, stamped with and guided by the talisman of its title. "one thing visible every day / any time 24/7 / for 3 months 8000 miles / was mph // on the speedometer. / a small petty thing. / a pin. / down of a larger / limiting. // a sighting an ideograph / even more than a picture beyond word."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This rich collection of poems explores family history, personal narrative, and man's relationship to the natural world with an exacting eye and curious, searching spirit. Ralph Sneeden's voice is accessible and honest, with a sense of wry wisdom that derives from his deep respect of the landscapes of New England and the shores of Long Island, New York-the terrain of his childhood, and the basis for his artistic vision. Evidence of the Journey is the poet's attempt to understand, through song and speech, elegy and examination, the personal and historic wars of a uniquely examined life.
