Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadowy Thresholds These revolts are not surprising, and are often of value. What is surprising is that so many fail to see that the measure of our artistic sincerity and intelligence is not determined by revolt alone, but by the things to which we revolt and by what we are willing to destroy. Art may depend on ex asperation rather than inspiration to break its bonds, but exasperation is not inspiration. Only those extremists who take it to be so will ask us to believe that any prose dullness or absurdity artic ulated into lines and strung unlyrically before us makes something wholly important in poetry something no permanent standards can judge.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Shadow on the Threshold I polish the glass case (very carefully, for fear of the cracked panes giving way), and display to the greatest advantage the few little prints and showy articles which we possess. I make the brightest books conspicuous, and put the faded ones into the background. Then I change the places of the prints and periodicals in the win dow, that the stationer opposite (whose books and pictures are constantly renewed) may imag ine that we sometimes replenish our stock. And while I am busy the old sad thought lies only half hidden under those passing fancies I try so hard to hold.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Threshold: A Novel He turned from this unsightliness into the broad square which had been named for his family. In the center of it the Courthouse stood with a majestic display of Gothic columns which had cost the tax payers of Cresston dear. The long, grassy slope of the lawn, shaded by ancient trees that were never trimmed, was a favorite lobby for the men who talked over the affairs of the nation in the open, and for loungers who fed on stray bits of gossip, and for small boys who did errands for a penny. But at this hour the lawn was empty and the shade of the great trees had turned it into dim aisles of coolness and beauty. Stray bits of paper moving in the breeze that came from the hot west were lifted lazily, like white butterflies hovering in the deep shadow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dweller on the Threshold The sadness noted by Malling was at first evasive and fleeting, not indelibly fixed in the puckers of a forehead, or in the down-drawn corners of a mouth. It was as a thin, almost impalpable mist, that can scarcely be seen, yet that alters all the features in a landscape ever so faintly. Like a shadow it travelled across the eyes, obscured the forehead, lay about the lips. And as a shadow lifts it lifted. But it soon returned, like a thing uneasy that is becoming determined to discover an abiding place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are spirits conceived and born in revoAs she turned the key in the door Of the cottage, where the first chapter Of her life had been lived, she turned it just as surely on that past. She visualized swiftly the years that had gone before, the experiences and emotions, shut up, now, in that empty house to be left behind. She walked quickly down the sordid street Of the industrial town, with a sense of release. She went into a store to leave the key for the agent of the house.

Download or read book Ghostly Figures written by Ann Keniston and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2015-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Sylvia Plath’s depictions of the Holocaust as a group of noncohering “bits” to AIDS elegies’ assertions that the dead posthumously persist in ghostly form and Susan Howe’s insistence that the past can be conveyed only through juxtaposed “scraps,” the condition of being too late is one that haunts post-World War II American poetry. This is a poetry saturated with temporal delay, partial recollection of the past, and the revelation that memory itself is accessible only in obstructed and manipulated ways. These postwar poems do not merely describe the condition of lateness: they enact it literally and figuratively by distorting chronology, boundary, and syntax, by referring to events indirectly, and by binding the condition of lateness to the impossibility of verifying the past. The speakers of these poems often indicate that they are too late by repetitively chronicling distorted events, refusing closure or resolution, and forging ghosts out of what once was tangible. Ghostly Figures contends that this poetics of belatedness, along with the way it is bound to questions of poetic making, is a central, if critically neglected, force in postwar American poetry. Discussing works by Sylvia Plath, Adrienne Rich, Jorie Graham, Susan Howe, and a group of poets responding to the AIDS epidemic, Ann Keniston draws on and critically assesses trauma theory and psychoanalysis, as well as earlier discussions of witness, elegy, lyric trope and figure, postmodernism, allusion, and performance, to define the ghosts that clearly dramatize poetics of belatedness throughout the diverse poetry of post–World War II America.

This point pleased the patron so heartily that he hit the donkey across the hind leg to test his temper. The Rat showed his teeth in a grin of satisfaction, and without even a word to the boy was gone. Follow me now and be spry, said the rug-maker, and led the way into a low shed where bales Of rugs in burlap were piled high, and in a great bin were count less balls of yarn, blue and grey, red and brown, yel low, black and white. Next to the bin was another enormous pile of yarn, undyed, and this in big bundles the rug man and one of his coolies began loading upon the donkey's back, tying it on with ropes, and balancing the load with great skill. When they had finished, the gentle face Of patient little Brother looked out from under a mountain of yam - enough to tax the broad back of a dray horse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadow In the south room, however, it was peaceful and quiet. The wind spent its strength in the north, and here one could listen to the creak of the chair as the Old nurse rocked slowly back and forth. Near her, on the bed, upon her back, was a young girl. Her curling brown hair lay a braid on either side of her delicate face. Her eyes were closed, but not in sleep, for every now and then she would move her right arm as though to draw something toward her. At length, Opening her eyes, and looking to the far corner of the room, she said: Mammy, I want it. The Old colored woman left her seat and walked to where a cradle stood. Not right now, lil' lamb.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shadowed by Three It was the first day of September, but it might have been the earliest in August, or the latest in July, so fiercely did the sun shine down upon the city pavements, so sultry was the atmosphere, and so eager was the dust to defy sprinklers, and bestow itself, unsolicited, upon ladies' Summer bonnets, and gents' unmentionables. It was only ten o'clock in the morning, and yet the pedestrian, walking down the sunny side of Madison street, Chicago, on this first day of September, in the year of our Lord 187 would have, undoubtedly, ex claimed, - had he been a true Chicagoan, - that it was hot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER “Engrossing...studded with wisdom about long-held bonds.” —People, Book of the Week “Enthralling, masterfully written...rich with social and psychological insights.” —The New York Times Book Review “A magnificent storytelling feat.” —The Boston Globe The “utterly engrossing, sweeping” (Time) story of a lifelong friendship between two very different “superbly depicted” (The Wall Street Journal) women with shared histories, divisive loyalties, hidden sorrows, and eighty years of summers on a pristine point of land on the coast of Maine, set across the arc of the 20th century. Celebrated children’s book author Agnes Lee is determined to secure her legacy—to complete what she knows will be the final volume of her pseudonymously written Franklin Square novels; and even more consuming, to permanently protect the peninsula of majestic coast in Maine known as Fellowship Point. To donate the land to a trust, Agnes must convince shareholders to dissolve a generations-old partnership. And one of those shareholders is her best friend, Polly. Polly Wister has led a different kind of life than Agnes: that of a well-off married woman with children, defined by her devotion to her husband, a philosophy professor with an inflated sense of stature. She strives to create beauty and harmony in her home, in her friendships, and in her family. Polly soon finds her loyalties torn between the wishes of her best friend and the wishes of her three sons—but what is it that Polly wants herself? Agnes’s designs are further muddied when an enterprising young book editor named Maud Silver sets out to convince Agnes to write her memoirs. Agnes’s resistance cannot prevent long-buried memories and secrets from coming to light with far-reaching repercussions for all. “An ambitious and satisfying tale” (The Washington Post), Fellowship Point reads like a 19th-century epic, but it is entirely contemporary in its “reflections on aging, writing, stewardship, legacies, independence, and responsibility. At its heart, Fellowship Point is about caring for the places and people we love...This magnificent novel affirms that change and growth are possible at any age” (The Christian Science Monitor).
