Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HOUSE OF DECEMBER Including Selections from Words, And There Are Five Seasons and Interlude Seven magnificent new poems and selections from two previously published collections available only in hard-to-obtain privately printed editions comprise Richard David Kennedy's HOUSE OF DECEMBER. Its author obviously sees "things clearly ...and whole," to quote E. M. Forster in Howard's End, and he has also realized Forster's admitted intention as voiced in the frontispiece of that novel: "To connect..." The poems on physical nature, fleshly and spiritual love, the creative act, and time, all echo Kennedy's concern with the sanctity of the individual and the presence of the godhead in each and every one. The poet's technical virtuosity adds further complexity and density to his profound ideas. He makes us see things not only clearly and whole, but differently than before, the mark of an artist of the first rank. HARDCOVER EDITION

Download or read book The Encuentro Book Two written by Richard David Kennedy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encuentro isn't just another novel. A fairy tale in novel form- told as a farce, presented like a play, and executed like a movie, it is indeed "novel" in every way. It is very much as advertised: "A Risque Fairy Tale For Contemporary Adults"- very mature adults. It is also Kennedy as his innovated best- "pulling out all the stops," and turning the medium on its head to make a gut-busting spoof that turns out not to be such a "spoof" after all. So, while the subject matter is bawdy, the humor outrageous and the wit nonpareil, it is, to be sure, a deeply profound exposition of the nature and meaning of life at the end of the day. It is, as he has stated, "probably (my) best symphony yet," and destined to be an instant classic. Where else will you find a novel's author portraying himself in his own book as a "movie director?""

Download or read book Ekphrastic encounters written by David Kennedy and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive reassessment of ekphrasis: the verbal representation of visual art. Ekphrasis has been traditionally regarded as a form of paragone (competition) between word and image. This interdisciplinary collection of essays seeks to complicate this critical paradigm and proposes a more reciprocal model of ekphrasis that involves an encounter or exchange between visual and textual cultures. This critical and theoretical shift demands a new form of ekphrastic poetics, which is less concerned with representational and institutional struggles, and more concerned with ideas of ethics, affect and intersubjectivity. Ekphrastic encounters brings together leading scholars working in the field of word-and-image studies and offers a fresh exploration of ekphrastic texts from the Renaissance to the present day. Taken together, the chapters establish a new set of theoretical frameworks for exploring the ekphrastic encounter.

Download or read book Gerasa and the Decapolis written by David Kennedy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Long Classical Millennium (fourth century BC to eighth century AD), Northwest Jordan was part of two worlds, looking west to the Mediterranean as well as east towards the Arabian desert. It was not only a collection of distinctive micro-regions but a 'virtual island', isolated by geography on all sides. Here one finds historical and archaeological data of an intensity and quality probably superior to that of any region in the Near East other than Israel. This book exploits some of that evidence to explain the character of an unusual region with a dense network of cities and an unexpected surge of settlement which reached a peak and extent not encountered again until the mid-twentieth century. It explores and develops some of the principal themes one may investigate for the region of Northwest Jordan, but which often apply to the Near East as a whole.
