Download or read book Prose from many shores written by Bud Simmons and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prose from many shores knocks on the door of the reality of our daily lives in stanzas that give the reader a broader spectrum of the spiritual world in psalms and songs. The author authentically decrees that most of the contents within these pages came in the form of an otherworldly muse most definitely from the light. From broken hearts that never heal, to war that leaves scars unseen, to history long forgotten, to a World War II marine who encountered a talking dog that saved his life--all these are compiled within these pages, speaking to our world today. Far from being a self-help book, it speaks to the child within us all, to the adolescent we used to be, and the adult and seniors we will all become. Here, in this unique collection, you will be much devoted to the Divine and psalms that came about during early morning prayers or, as the title, Prose from many shores. In this lyrical expression of love, loss, war, and early morning visits by the muse (Prose from many shores), it is this writer's fervent hope and prayer that reading these words will inspire and encourage the readers to be aware that it is never too late to pursue your dreams in whatever category you have chosen. I love being a writer of Christian psalms and praise poetry that inspire and all-around history much from the greatest generation (World War II). As much as having written concerning Christian genres and motivational words of inspiration that have, in some ways, lifted the spirits of our cohort, every writer wants to make a difference with her/his contribution. Today I have become a firm believer in the presence of God and Jesus Christ working in my life. It's my experience that prayer and meditation daily can not only change our lives and lead us to a more fulfilling existence but also change our world for the better. It has been said and documented in millions of testimonies that belief in God is one of the most formidable tools of reliability one may have. Within these pages, the reader will find story poems and short stories that will hopefully inspire them to move in the direction of unfulfilled dreams and ambitions. Hopefully, that may include the arts, creativity, performing arts, and writing. God stands as the master creator of all that is or ever will be (you and me not excluded). What then is more devoted to his likeness and image than to recreate on our own level? It is my fervent hope that reading Prose from many shores may inspire you to build and expand your own relationship with God through prayer and praise. In the ever-holy name of Jesus Christ, I leave my blessing on this work and all who read it. God be with you, and perhaps we will be destined to meet in person along life's path. "For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them" (Saint Augustine of Hippo).
Download or read book Fractal Shores written by Diane Louie and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlo Rovelli, Italian physicist, says that "the world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events." Poet Diane Louie thinks of prose poems as little events. They are happening and happenings. They draw on experience, image, metaphor, and all the properties of language to create little worlds-in-motion: spinning while orbiting, actively shifting our point of view. More genus than hybrid species, prose poems can straddle the obvious limits and less-obvious liberties of perception. This active characteristic of spanning and connecting is especially relevant in a time of cultural polarization. Marrying, even uneasily, the inquiries of science and spiritual longing can illuminate what they—and we—have in common: a desire to understand our presence in a universe that does not yield ultimate answers.

Download or read book And the View from the Shore written by Stephen H. Sumida and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study of a little-explored branch of American literature both chronicles and reinterprets the variety of patterns found within Hawaii’s pastoral and heroic literary traditions, and is unprecedented in its scope and theme. As a literary history, it covers two centuries of Hawaii’s culture since the arrival of Captain James Cookin 1778. Its approach is multicultural, representing the spectrum of native Hawaiian, colonial, tourist, and polyethnic local literatures. Explicit historical, social, political, and linguistic context of Hawaii, as well as literary theory, inform Stephen Sumida’s analyses and explications of texts, which in turn reinterpret the nonfictional contexts themselves. These “texts” include poems, song lyrics, novels and short fiction, drama and oral traditions that epitomize cultural milieus and sensibilities. Hawaii’s rich literary tradition begins with ancient Polynesian chant and encompasses the compelling novels of O.A. Bushnell, Shelley Ota, Kazuo Miyamoto, Milton Marayama, and John Dominis Holt; the stories of Patsy Saiki and Darrell Lum; the dramas of Aldyth Morris; the poetry of Cathy Song, Erick Chock, Jody Manabe, Wing Tek Lum, and others of the contemporary “Bamboo Ridge” group; Hawaiian songs and poetry, or mele; and works written by visitors from outside the islands, such as the journals of Captain Cook and the prose fiction of Herman Melville, James Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain, and James Michener. Sumida discusses the renewed enthusiasm for native Hawaiian culture and the controversies over Hawaii’s vernacular pidgins and creoles. His achievement in developing a functional and accessible critical and intellectual framework for analyzing this diverse material is remarkable, and his engaging and perceptive analysis of these works invites the reader to explore further in the literature itself and to reconsider the present and future direction of Hawaii’s writers.

Book excerpt: The daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father in 1759 Montreal, Catherine Duval finds it is easier to remain neutral in a world that is tearing itself apart. Content to trade with both the French and the British, Catherine is pulled into the fray against her wishes when her British ex- fiance, Samuel Crane, is taken prisoner by her father. Samuel asks her to help him escape, claiming he has information that could help end the war. Peace appeals to Catherine, but helping the man who broke her heart does not. She delays . . . until attempts on Samuel's life convince her he's in mortal danger. Against her better judgment she helps him flee by river, using knowledge of the landscape to creep ever closer to freedom. Their time together rekindles feelings she thought long buried, and danger seems to hound their every mile. She's risked becoming a traitor by choosing a side, but will the decision cost her even more than she anticipated?

Book excerpt: "A master storyteller." — New York Times Book Review On Night's Shore brings us deep into the troubled psyche of Edgar Allan Poe and the power struggle between the sleazy underbelly and the business elite of nineteenth-century New York City. Standing on the grimy banks of the Hudson River, street urchin Augie Dubbins spots a young woman toss her baby into the water, then jump in herself. As the only witness to the tragedy, Augie sees an opportunity to make a few pennies recounting the events, and in doing so encounters a struggling young journalist named Edgar Allan Poe, a poet and newspaper hack whose penchant for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time has earned him more than a few enemies. When the unlikely duo discover the body of yet another young woman shortly after, they become entrapped in a mire of murder, greed, and power that stretches from the Five Points slums to the gleaming heights of Fifth Avenue. Additional Praise for On Night's Shore: "A riveting tale of murder and betrayal... On Night's Shore drips with descriptive power." — New York Post
