Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named one of the best 25 space opera books by BookRiot! The first book in a scifi retelling of the Mahabrahata. When Esmae wins a contest of skill, she sets off events that trigger an inevitable and unwinnable war that pits her against the family she would give anything to return to. In a universe of capricious gods, dark moons, and kingdoms built on the backs of spaceships, a cursed queen sends her infant daughter away, a jealous uncle steals the throne of Kali from his nephew, and an exiled prince vows to take his crown back. Raised alone and far away from her home on Kali, Esmae longs to return to her family. When the King of Wychstar offers to gift the unbeatable, sentient warship Titania to a warrior that can win his competition, she sees her way home: she’ll enter the competition, reveal her true identity to the world, and help her famous brother win back the crown of Kali. It’s a great plan. Until it falls apart. Inspired by the Mahabharata and other ancient Indian stories, A Spark of White Fire is a lush, sweeping space opera about family, curses, and the endless battle between jealousy and love.

Download or read book Strike Sparks written by Sharon Olds and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most gifted and widely read poets—the winner of the Pulitzter Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize—comes a powerful collection of 117 of her finest poems drawn from her seven published volumes. Michael Ondaatje has called Sharon Olds’s poetry “pure fire in the hands” and cheered the “roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss.” This rich selection exhibits those qualities in poem after poem, reflecting, moreover, an exciting experimentation with rhythm and language and a movement toward an embrace beyond the personal. Subjects are revisited–the pain of childhood, adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfillment of marriage, the wonder of children–but each recasting penetrates ever more deeply, enriched by new perceptions and conceits. Strike Sparks is a testament to this remarkable poet’s continuing and amazing growth.
Download or read book The Spark and Fire of It written by Gary Soto and published by Stephen F. Austin University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love is a good thing--so true in The Spark and Fire of It, this classic one-act romance: two young people smitten to the point of delirium and a gruff father who will have none of it. The father sees his daughter's suitor only as a penniless lad with nothing to offer. But the young woman's mother sees her own husband in the young man, remembering a time when he, too, was an empty-handed suitor. Add internal complications: the young women questions her own judgment, and the young man is tempted by a hooligan called Rascal. Then there is Old Gentleman, who, like a befuddled Socrates, understands this thing called love. The romance contains poems that begin with a line of Shakespeare that Soto artfully extends into his own original poetry. The dialogue is written in the vernacular of Elizabethan times--though occasionally it falls into contemporary street slang. The code switching reminds readers that love is a human experience that makes the young go crazy no matter the century!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sparks From the Camp Fire: And Other Poems Spark I. Prelusive. Time's with'ring hand upon the vet'ran's brow, In furrowed lines its signal seal hath set; And forms of vigor once possessed, are now By palsied age and feebleness beset: And faithful hearts inured to sad regret, Attuned to catch the faintest trill of sound, From vanished years which they can ne'er forget; Still guard with reverent care each sacred mound' Where sleep the brave and true, in Freedom's hallowed ground. On fertile plain, in many a valley fair, Where balmy breezes woo the ripening grain; War's thunders there once pealed 'mid lurid glare And Freedom wept above her noble slain. In mute appeal, a myriad graves remain, O'er which recurring years have swiftly rolled: And Spring with flow'ry tread oft came again, And Summer's heat, and Winter's piercing cold; While Autumn flung o'er all its rustling robe of gold. Although with ceaseless flow the cycling years, On Time's fleet wing have to oblivion fled; Remembrance lives to wake our griefs and fears, Whene'er we seek communion with our dead, Tho' pleasures brief before our gaze are spread, The passing hour may future woes foretell, When smiles will fade, and bitter tears be shed; The heart oft loveth with the past to dwell, And muse o'er vanished scenes 'neath Memorys, mystic spell.

Download or read book Sparks from the Heart Fire from the Soul written by Clara V. Charity and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a change from the first because there is more love in my life and in my heart and the past has helped me to grow into a better person. This project has been in the worlds for a few years and I have finally gotten to the point that the work was ready for others to read. I am now stronger, more able to deal with my emotions and able to adapt to new challenged that come my way. My poems are a way for me to deal with anger, grief, joy, pain and most of all heartache. I am hoping that everyone who takes the time to read my work will take something good from it and enjoy the time and energy that I have put into the poems and the book. These poems come from my heart and soul and the one thing that I can be sure of if nothing else, is that at the end of the day when the book is done and I am finished with my work, I can say that if one person reads it and likes it then I have done something worthwhile.
Download or read book Teaching with Fire written by Sam M. Intrator and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-10-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reclaim Your Fire "Teaching with Fire is a glorious collection of the poetry that has restored the faith of teachers in the highest, most transcendent values of their work with children....Those who want us to believe that teaching is a technocratic and robotic skill devoid of art or joy or beauty need to read this powerful collection. So, for that matter, do we all." ?Jonathan Kozol, author of Amazing Grace and Savage Inequalities "When reasoned argument fails, poetry helps us make sense of life. A few well-chosen images, the spinning together of words creates a way of seeing where we came from and lights up possibilities for where we might be going....Dip in, read, and ponder; share with others. It's inspiration in the very best sense." ?Deborah Meier, co-principal of The Mission Hill School, Boston and founder of a network of schools in East Harlem, New York "In the Confucian tradition it is said that the mark of a golden era is that children are the most important members of the society and teaching is the most revered profession. Our jour ney to that ideal may be a long one, but it is books like this that will sustain us - for who are we all at our best save teachers, and who matters more to us than the children?" ?Peter M. Senge, founding chair, SoL (Society for Organizational Learning) and author of The Fifth Discipline Those of us who care about the young and their education must find ways to remember what teaching and learning are really about. We must find ways to keep our hearts alive as we serve our students. Poetry has the power to keep us vital and focused on what really matters in life and in schooling. Teaching with Fire is a wonderful collection of eighty-eight poems from such well-loved poets as Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Billy Collins, Emily Dickinson, and Pablo Neruda. Each of these evocative poems is accompanied by a brief story from a teacher explaining the significance of the poem in his or her life's work. This beautiful book also includes an essay that describes how poetry can be used to grow both personally and professionally. Teaching With Fire was written in partnership with the Center for Teacher Formation and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Royalties from this book will be used to fund scholarship opportunities for teachers to grow and learn.
Download or read book City of Bones written by Kwame Dawes and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As if convinced that all divination of the future is somehow a re-visioning of the past, Kwame Dawes reminds us of the clairvoyance of haunting. The lyric poems in City of Bones: A Testament constitute a restless jeremiad for our times, and Dawes’s inimitable voice peoples this collection with multitudes of souls urgently and forcefully singing, shouting, groaning, and dreaming about the African diasporic present and future. As the twentieth collection in the poet’s hallmarked career, City of Bones reaches a pinnacle, adding another chapter to the grand narrative of invention and discovery cradled in the art of empathy that has defined his prodigious body of work. Dawes’s formal mastery is matched only by the precision of his insights into what is at stake in our lives today. These poems are shot through with music from the drum to reggae to the blues to jazz to gospel, proving that Dawes is the ambassador of words and worlds.
