Download or read book Threads of Life written by Clare Hunter and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This globe-spanning history of sewing and embroidery, culture and protest, is “an astonishing feat . . . richly textured and moving” (The Sunday Times, UK). In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their “disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, memory, power, and politics told through the stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the universal beauty and power of sewing.

Download or read book Living Loom written by Keni Arts and published by Keni Arts Int'l. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in two worlds; physical and spiritual. We experience the physical world through sight, sound, touch, taste and feel. The world of the spirit is one of love vs hate, good vs evil, faith vs fear, along with a host of other polarizing terms that describe its existence. We find ourselves living on one or the other side of the 'tracks' in the physical world through any one or combination of factors; economic, social, political, religious, racial; and again the list goes on. We choose on which side of the 'tracks' we'll live in the spiritual world by our words. Living Loom Threads of Life Woven into a Spiritual Tapestry is a book of prose and poetry. The diversity of themes in Living Loom are as though spools of colorful threads were set in a loom and woven into a tapestry of spiritual life that seeks to connect us to God and to one another. The words are about life, even in the threat of death. Living Loom is a collection of words written on the tablet of Keni's experiences and beliefs. With these words, you will be challanged to consider your life in a transformative fashion. Here are some challenges that inspired him to pen Living Loom. Keni was inspired to write Haitian Train after seeing news coverage of a mother determined to find her daughter in the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The story is told from the daughter's point of view; a view that was born under the debris of a collapsed building The impetus to write Pedophile Priests came after Keni heard Miguel talk about the horrors of child sexual abuse committed in the clergy. Miguel (not his real name) was their victim. You don't have to look beyond the title to get the gist of this no-nonsense poem that shines a light on this dark, scandalous behavior. The inspiration came from him seeing Miguel transformed from a lost soul to a free spirit at a bus stop in South-Central Los Angeles. On the lighter side, you'll see what Keni is capable of producing when inspiration is off-duty and he's left to his own imagination. Busy Brains was penned in the middle of the night after lying in bed for hours, unable to turn off his thoughts long enough to go to sleep. The consolation was to turn a sleepless night into a fun & off-beat poem with an ending from Keni's distant, not-to-be-repeated past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My Poetic Threads Create a Tapestry" accurately expresses how Author Carolyn June-Jackson envisions her poetry: a hand-woven embroidered tapestry stitched together with strands of imagery, realism, humorous, and inspirational parables in rhyme.She remembers the oppressed systemic racism during the 1950s and the volatile civil rights movement during the 1960s. These early memories influenced her to share her thoughts and feelings of racism and segregation through a black prism in her poetry. She doesn't see herself physically participating in marches but instead wields her pen as a form of protest against injustice. Her book is divided into six sections that feature the celebration, memorialization, and recognition of our ancestors, history, relationships, emotional issues, racism, and social and political issues that impact everyday lives.Carolyn June-Jackson grew up in an all-Black, closely-knit, well-established enclave sustained by black business owners and productive and caring residents from all walks of life in the Halls Hill community in North Arlington, Virginia, which was only eight miles from the District of Columbia. Carolyn began writing poetry in the early 1980s, and now she gets to share her gift with the world.

You can follow twelve very different people and their stories as they go through each life phase and wonder what will happen next. You can consider how you would respond to the choices they face.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this spiritual guide to equip yourself with the tools needed to tear down anxiety and build inner peace. Spiritual people often find that their own expectations of living a life dedicated to a higher power makes them more susceptible to high-functioning anxiety.
