Download or read book Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns written by Andrea Gibson and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2010-08-13 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four-time Denver Grand Champion, Pushcart Prize nominee, and winner of the 2008 Women of the World Poetry Slam, Andrea Gibson’s dynamic and energetic first book, Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns, challenges us to not only read, but to react. Hauntingly vivid, the poems march through a soldier's lingering psychological wounds, tackle the curious questions of school children on the meaning of "hate", and tangle with a lover's witty and vibrant description of longing. Gibson's poems deconstruct the current political climate through stunning imagery and careful crafting. With the same velocity, the poignant and vacillating love poems sweep the air out of the room. It’s word-induced hypoxia. Pole Dancing to Gospel Hymns whispers with a bold and unforgettable internal voice rich with the kind of questioning that inspires action.

Download or read book Whorephobia written by Lizzie Borden and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illuminating accounts of how stripping and sex work informs writers’ experiences of friendship, motherhood, teaching, working, creating art, and activism. No one knows more than strippers about being looked at: as objects of desire, objects of curiosity, as angels or Jezebels or hookers with hearts of gold. In this anthology, twenty-three dancers whose careers span decades, geographies, and identities demand to be seen. Through stories from first nights on the job to the day they hung up their sky-high heels—or decided they never will—these writers offer glimpses into lives of camaraderie and celebration, joy, pride, despair, frustration, self-doubt, and fear. Their unfiltered perspectives on their lives, onstage and off, are a powerful counternarrative to the whorephobia that shrouds the conventional portrayals of strippers in crime movies, TV shows, music videos, newspaper articles, and legislative debates. Each of these illuminating essays and interviews peels away tired myths and salacious speculation and presents the naked truth: that sex work is real work and strippers are real people.

Download or read book Femininity Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing written by Kerry Griffiths and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-19 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the phenomenon of pole dancing as an increasingly popular fitness and leisure activity for women. It moves beyond previous debates surrounding the empowering or degrading nature of pole dancing classes, and instead explores the complexities of these concepts and highlights that women participating in this practice cannot be seen as one dimensional. Femininity, Feminism and Recreational Pole Dancing explores the construction, negotiation and presentation of a gendered and classed identity and self through participation in pole dancing, the meaning of pole dancing as a fitness practice for women, and the concepts of community and friendship as developed through classes. Using empirical research, the book uncovers the stories and experiences of the women who participate in these classes, and examines what the mainstreaming of this type of sexualised dance means for the women who practice it. Pole dancing is shown to be a practice in which female identities are negotiated, performed and enacted and this book positions pole dancing as an activity which both reinforces but also presents some challenge to ideas of feminism and femininity for the women that participate. Women's participation in pole dancing is described in a discourse of choice and control, yet this book argues that the decision to participate is somewhat constructed by the advertising of these classes as enabling women to create a particular desirable self, which is perpetuated throughout our culture as the ‘ideal’. Exploring the ways in which women attempt to manage impressions and present themselves as ‘respectable’, the book examines how women wish to dis-identify with both women who work as strippers and women who are feminist, seeing both identities as contradictory to the feminine image that they pursue. The book explores the capacity of these classes to offer women some feelings of agency but challenges the idea that participating in pole dancing can offer collective empowerment. The book ultimately argues that women’s participation can be viewed both in terms of their active engagement and enjoyment of these classes and in terms of the structures and pressures which continue to shape their lives. This timely publication explores the complexity of the pole dancing phenomenon and highlights a range of questions surrounding this activity as a leisure form. It will be a valuable contribution to those interested in women’s and gender studies, cultural studies, feminism, sociology and leisure studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who Decides Who You Are? The personal is political. — Carol Hanisch What if you know something, but you're not sure what it is you know, and moreover, you're not sure anyone would believe you if you told them? P3 — Percy Abbott III — is afraid to find out. Jennifer's willingness to copyedit the reams of writing by inexperienced reporters makes the newsroom favorite. Nobody messes with the copyeditor! It's a rule. (And this gang of non-conformists have few rules they're willing to abide by.) But going out for coffee isn't going to hurt anything. Right? Portland is famous for its literary community of writers, readers, bookstores, coffeehouses, and literary magazines like the Portland Review — a part of Newsroom PDX. Covid had been devastating, but the literary community is coming back. But the scars from the pandemic haven't gone away. This is the seventh omnibus in Newsroom PDX, a pollical suspense series about a college newsroom in downtown Portland during some of the most tumultuous times the city has ever faced. Foul language. Some sex. Lots of politics. Rather like the city itself. This omnibus includes Who Do I Tell?, My Body, and A Literary Life.

Book excerpt: When a New Orleans fundraiser turns into a deadly hostage crisis, female bodyguard Charlie Fox makes “a Die Hard–inspired stand in the Big Easy” (Kirkus Reviews). Professionally, she’s at the top of her game, but her personal life is in ruins. Her lover, bodyguard Sean Meyer, has awoken from a gunshot-induced coma with his memory in tatters. It seems that piecing back together the relationship they shared is proving harder for him than relearning the intricacies of the bodyguard business. Working with Sean again was never going to be easy for Charlie, but a celebrity fundraising event in aid of still-ravaged areas of New Orleans should have been the ideal opportunity for them both to take things nice and slow. Until, that is, they find themselves thrust into the middle of a war zone. When an ambitious robbery explodes into a deadly hostage situation, the motive may be far more complex than simple greed. Somebody has a major score to settle, and Sean is part of the reason. Only trouble is, he doesn’t remember why. And when Charlie finds herself facing a nightmare from her own past, she realizes she can’t rely on Sean to watch her back. This time, she’s got to fight it out on her own.
