Book excerpt: Stones in a River is a book of poetry. Some poems are influenced by news events too often gloom-laden. The Alaskan environment inspires other poems. Southeast Alaska is where mountains meet the all-important Pacific Ocean. Lives here, above and below the seas surface, are co-dependent and call for expression in poetry. Then, as is often true with poetry, much written here is personal. Experiences, observations and views are a good part of most artistic pursuits.

Download or read book Stones River Bloody Winter Tennessee written by James Lee McDonough and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On December 31, 1862, some 10,000 Confederate soldiers streamed out of the dim light of early morning to stun the Federals who were still breakfasting in their camp. Nine months earlier the Confederates had charged the Yankees in a similarly devastating attack at dawn, starting the Battle of Shiloh. By the time this new battle ended, it would resemble Shiloh in other ways - it would rival that struggle's shocking casualty toll of 24,000 and it would become a major defeat for the South. By any Civil War standard, Stones River was a monumental, bloody, and dramatic story. Yet, until now, it has had no modern, documented history. Arguing that the battle was one of the significant engagements in the war, noted Civil War historian James Lee McDonough here devotes to Stones River the attention it ahs long deserved. Stones River, at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was the first big battle in the union campaign to seize the Nashville-Chattanooga-Atlanta corridor. Driving eastward and southward to sea, the campaign eventually climaxed in Sherman's capture of Savannah in December 1864. At Stones River the two armies were struggling desperately for control of Middle Tennessee's railroads and rich farms. Although they fought to a tactical draw, the Confederates retreated. The battle's outcome held significant implications. For the Union, the victory helped offset the disasters suffered at Fredericksburg and Chickasaw Bayou. Furthermore, it may have discouraged Britain and France from intervening on behalf of the Confederacy. For the South, the battle had other crucial effects. Since in convinced many that General Braxton Bragg could not successfully command an army, Stones River left the Southern Army torn by dissension in the high command and demoralized in the ranks. One of the most perplexing Civil War battles, Stones River has remained shrouded in unresolved questions. After driving the Union right wing for almost three miles, why could the Rebels not complete the triumph? Could the Union's Major General William S. Rosecrans have launched a counterattack on the first day of the battle? Was personal tension between Bragg and Breckenridge a significant factor in the events of the engagement's last day? McDonough uses a variety of sources to illuminate these and other questions. Quotations from diaries, letters, and memoirs of the soldiers involved furnish the reader with a rare, soldier's-eye view of this tremendously violent campaign. Tactics, strategies, and commanding officers are examined to reveal how personal strengths and weaknesses of the opposing generals, Bragg and Rosecrans, shaped the course of the battle. Vividly recreating the events of the calamitous battle, Stones River - Bloody Winter in Tennessee firmly establishes the importance of this previously neglected landmark in Civil War history. James Lee McDonough is professor of history at Auburn University, and author of Shiloh - In Hell before Night, Chattanooga - A Death Grip on the Confederacy, and co-author of Five Tragic Hours: The Battle of Franklin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stones in the Stream, the life-work of Tricia Heriz-Smith, is a beautiful collection of poems from a lifetime of practicing deep living and the writing life. Tricia gifts us with a book filled with astute observations, explorations and invitations to look deeply into this world of ours. (from the Foreword by Diana Button). There is an art to standing on one leg just as there is to balancing one rock on another. Outer balance can only happen with inner balance, and that search has been mine for as long as I can remember. These are poems of discovery, just as when you walk on a pebbly beach you find one stone calling to you to be picked up and taken home. So, these poems have been picked from moments in the stream of my life that have caught my full attention and demanded to be written. seeking that centre where all is in balance withstand waves My poems are the distillation of my own time and space, rather like messages in a bottle tossed into the stream of life. (from the Preface).

Download or read book Tongue of Water Teeth of Stones written by Jonathan Hufstader and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a 1984 lecture on poetry and political violence, Seamus Heaney remarked that "the idea of poetry was itself that higher ideal to which the poets had unconsciously turned in order to survive the demeaning conditions." Jonathan Hufstader examines the work of Heaney and his contemporaries to discover how poems, combining conscious technique with unconscious impulse, work as aesthetic forms and as strategies for emotional survival. In his powerful study, Hufstader shows how a number of contemporary Northern Irish poets, including Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Michael Longley, Paul Muldoon, Tom Paulin, Ciarán Carson and Medbh McGuckian, explore the resources of language and poetic form in their various responses to cultural conflict and political violence. Focusing on both style and social contexts, Hufstader explores the tension between solidarity and art, between the poet's need to belong and to rebel. He believes that an understanding of the power of lyric points towards an understanding of the source of social violence, and of its cessation.
