Download or read book Studies written by Margaret Schuyler Sternbergh and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Schuyler Sternbergh wrote these poems over the course of her life. Written at a time when women were meant to be docile and submissive, they reveal a vital and passionate spirit. They touch on the death of a child, on the joy of love, and the pain of unrequited love, on the wonder of man, and despair at his destructiveness. They reveal a life-long struggle for justice and goodness. Not discovered until after her death, the poems are remarkable for their lyrical beauty and intensity of feeling. They are presented here as a remembrance of her indomitable spirit. Book Review: Some of the most treasured poetry works in American culture were dug up posthumously. "Studies: Joint Memories' is a collection of poetry from Margaret Schuyler Sternbergh, published decades after her death in her honor. A work of nearly a century of life, her poems ring out true and drip with experience. "Studies" is a fine collection with much to be enjoyed for poetry lovers. "Out of this Moment" : Out of the moment you might take/Rubies, sapphire, pearls beyond price,/Just for the miracle of faith,/Pure and undefiled as the hour/When rain slips down the heavens/Like the mercy of God that it is,/Out of this moment, you might take/A joy and beauty that only you can make. Micah Andrew Reviewer

Download or read book Palimpsestic Memory written by Max Silverman and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interconnections between histories and memories of the Holocaust, colonialism and extreme violence in post-war French and Francophone fiction and film provide the central focus of this book. It proposes a new model of ‘palimpsestic memory’, which the author defines as the condensation of different spatio-temporal traces, to describe these interconnections and defines the poetics and the politics of this composite form. In doing so it is argued that a poetics dependent on tropes and techniques, such as metaphor, allegory and montage, establishes connections across space and time which oblige us to perceive cultural memory not in terms of its singular attachment to a particular event or bound to specific ethno-cultural or national communities but as a dynamic process of transfer between different moments of racialized violence and between different cultural communities. The structure of the book allows for both the theoretical elaboration of this paradigm for cultural memory and individual case-studies of novels and films.

Download or read book They Watch Me as They Watch This written by Jane Palatini Bowers and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Gertrude Stein wrote almost one hundred plays, many of which were published and performed during her lifetime. In "They Watch Me as They Watch This," the first full-length study of Stein's plays, Jane Palatini Bowers focuses on the author's contributions to the genre and offers individual and clarifying readings of these often difficult texts. In writing about Stein's plays, Bowers employs both semiotic and structuralist concepts but avoids the excessively abstract language and "scientific" approach often associated with this kind of criticism. When compared with conventional drama, Stein's plays may appear so strange as to hardly seem like plays at all. Their extreme unconventionality arises from the role language takes in them. Conventional plays allow us to look through the language at the dramatic world created by it; Stein's plays force us to concentrate on the drama inherent in language and language-making. They record and reenact the poet's experiments with language and with theatrical conventions; they also preserve the improvisational writing process in the printed and enacted product. Futhermore, Stein's plays embody her critique of and her ideas about the conventional forms of drama. Thus, the plays are metadramatic: dramas about drama. Stein's belief in the theatricality and performability of language, her metatextual explorations of the interplay between poiesis, textuality, and performance, and her violations of the boundaries between literary criticism and practice have influenced postmodernist playwrights and poets such as David Antin, Richard Foreman, Dick Higgins, Jackson MacLow, and Jerome Rothenberg. They Watch Me as They Watch This provides critical analyses of key plays which illuminate the process of Stein's experimentation during her lifetime of playwriting. Stein's recent critics have eschewed a generic approach to her writing; they overlook her intense interest in genre, and therefore they do not consider the ways in which her texts oppose, subvert, and disrupt generic conventions. Bowers's approach to Stein's work yields rich insights into her writing and into the genre she used. It will be an important contribution to Stein scholarship and to drama criticism as well.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird, winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction, Deacon King Kong, Five-Carat Soul, and Kill 'Em and Leave, a James Brown biography. In the days before the Civil War, a runaway slave named Liz Spocott breaks free from her captors and escapes into the labyrinthine swamps of Maryland’s eastern shore, setting loose a drama of violence and hope among slave catchers, plantation owners, watermen, runaway slaves, and free blacks. Liz is near death, wracked by disturbing visions of the future, and armed with “the Code,” a fiercely guarded cryptic means of communication for slaves on the run. Liz’s flight and her dreams of tomorrow will thrust all those near her toward a mysterious, redemptive fate. Filled with rich, true details—much of the story is drawn from historical events—and told in McBride’s signature lyrical style, Song Yet Sung is a story of tragic triumph, violent decisions, and unexpected kindness.

Download or read book Bella and Mirabel written by Mary Ellen Jackson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s about freedom. This uplifting little book with inspirational messages from an earth spirit to her human sister focuses on freedom from our hardwired conditioning of “musts” and “shoulds.” It will appeal to anyone questioning the meaning of their lives. The messages are delivered in a funny, quirky manner. The little deva, Bella, will use any object to get her point across, such as a bristle hair brush or hats. Using the analogy of the hard versus a soft bristle brush she tells us the hair cells groan when brushed by the hard bristle brush. Whereas with the soft brush, the cells settle down into a quiet snooze. Similarly in our quest for spiritual growth we tend to push ourselves too hard whereas she artfully urges us on with compassion and humor and tweaks us when we get too serious. In exploring the many roles humans play throughout the day, Bella uses hats as an example. She enjoys watching the creativity, pep and vigor. However, she points out we never stop to think whether we are suited for some of the roles we take on, or about the effects on the body. She tells us the energy reserves are stretched and the nervous system is strained when we blindly jump unprepared into 'unknown territory'.
