Book excerpt: Sky Loom offers a dazzling introduction to Native American myths, stories, and songs drawn from previous collections by acclaimed translator and poet Brian Swann. With a general introduction by Swann, Sky Loom is a stunning collection that provides a glimpse into the intricacies and beauties of story and myth, placing them in their cultural, historical, and linguistic contexts. Each of the twenty-six selections is translated and introduced by a well-known expert on Native oral literatures and offers entry into the cultures and traditions of several different tribes and bands, including the Yupiit and the Tlingits of the polar North; the Coast Salish and the Kwakwaka’wakw of the Pacific Northwest; the Navajos, the Pimas, and the Yaquis of the Southwest; the Lakota Sioux and the Plains Crees of the Great Plains; the Ojibwes of the Great Lakes; the Naskapis and the Eastern Crees of the Hudson Bay area in Canada; and the Munsees of the Northeast. Sky Loom takes the reader on a wide-ranging journey through literary traditions older than the “discovery” of the New World.

Download or read book On Earth Beneath Sky written by Chath pierSath and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of poems and short prose by a survivor of the Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in which the author, Chath pierSath, describes in vivid detail his refugee journey, resettlement in America, return to Cambodia, and continuing effort to find meaning and fulfillment in his adopted country of the United States. In rich and revealing detail, the author documents the damage to the Cambodian people by political fanatics and the after-effects in that nation struggling to regain its footing. Through the author's eyes, soul, and mind, we experience the challenge and eventual joys in assimilation as he embraces American freedom, and in the spirit of Walt Whitman he celebrates his life as a gay man, exploring "the body electric" and the ensuing ecstasies and at times despair. This is the voice of the new American who sounds much like the classic newcomer to the U.S., the immigrant "who gets the job done" as sung in "Hamilton." With this book, Chath pierSath adds to the narrative of America as the sum of its diverse people who carry their stories from around the world and through their lives define what it means to be American.

Download or read book Mardi and a Voyage Thither written by Herman Melville and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented as narratives of his own South Sea experiences, Melville's first two books had roused incredulity in many readers. Their disbelief, he declared, had been "the main inducement" in altering his plan for his third book, Mardi: and a Voyage Thither (1849). Melville wanted to exploit the "rich poetical material" of Polynesia and also to escape feeling "irked, cramped, & fettered" by a narrative of facts. "I began to feel . . . a longing to plume my pinions for a flight," he told his English publisher. Mardi began as a sequel to Typee (1846) and Omoo (1847), but changed radically while he was writing it and emerged as an altogether independent and original work. In its combination of adventure, allegorical romance, realistic portraits of characters and scenes from nature, philosophical speculation, and travelogue-satire, Mardi was Melville's first attempt to create a great work of fiction. This edition of is an Approved Text of the Center for Editions of American Authors (Modern Language Association of America).
