Download or read book Beyond Words written by Steven Connor and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Beyond Words, Steven Connor seeks to understand spoken human language outside words, a realm that encompasses the sounds we make that bring depth, meaning, and confusion to communication. Plunging into the connotations and uses associated with particular groups of vocal utterances—the guttural, the dental, the fricative, and the sibilant—he reveals the beliefs, the myths, and the responses that surround the growls, stutters, ums, ers, and ahs of everyday language. Beyond Words goes outside of linguistics and phonetics to focus on the popular conceptions of what language is, rather than what it actually is or how it works. From the moans and sobs of human grief to playful linguistic nonsense, Connor probes the fringes and limits of human language—and our definition of “voice” and meaning—to challenge our basic assumptions about what it is to communicate and where we find meaning in language. By engaging with vocal sounds and tics usually trivialized or ignored, Beyond Words presents a startling and fascinating new way to engage with language itself.

Book excerpt: HOW’S YOUR HEART? This question bounced through my head one year before turning the same age Mum was when she suddenly succumbed to cancer. How was her heart? Did she become the person she wanted to be? Did she live out her dreams? Did she leave this earth satisfied for living with a heart-wide-open? She was 47. I am 46 and my heart feels wrecked. Emotionally, spiritually, physically–I am empty. Too many unkind moments have been twisted into my story; a violent marriage, estrangement from my children, depression, binge drinking, successive brain injuries– these all carry deep scars that are cracking my foundation for building a better life. What if I am like Mum and this is the LAST year I get to live? How will I be remembered? How will people describe me? Am I living in a manner that values healthy relationships–encourages wild dreams–honors precious time–loves beyond limitations? No. I am not. What if I could soften those deep scars by examining the old ‘stuff ’ that creates barriers for reaching optimal healing? Will I be able to focus the next year on a transformation that leads to my best version of living? Yes. I think I can. Because Mum’s leave too soon–because aching hearts long to be healed–because distressed people search for encouragement–because weary folks yearn for rest– because lost dreamers still pursue hope: I believe I must. Starting today.

Download or read book Tarantula written by Bob Dylan and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Music legend Bob Dylan's only work of fiction—a combination of stream of consciousness prose, lyrics, and poetry that gives fans insight into one of the most influential singer-songwriters of our time. Written in 1966, Tarantula is a collection of poems and prose that evokes the turbulence of the times in which it was written, and offers unique insight into Dylan's creative evolution, capturing the stream-of-consciousness preoccupations of the legendary folk poet and his eclectic, erudite cool at a crucial juncture in his artistic development. It has since been welcomed into the Dylan canon, as Dylan himself has cemented his place in the cultural imagination, inspiring Todd Haynes’s acclaimed 2007 musical drama I’m Not There, selling more than 100 million records, and winning numerous prizes, including the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2017. In his acceptance speech for the Nobel, Dylan acknowledged the early influence on his work of Buddy Holly and Lead Belly as well as of wide-ranging classics like Don Quixote, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Moby Dick. Tarantula is a rare chance to see Dylan at a moment in which he was still deeply connected to his country roots and a folk vernacular while opening himself up to the influence of French 19th-century Surrealist writers like Arthur Rimbaud and the Comte de Lautreamont. A decade before the confessional singer-songwriter who would create the 1975 epic, Blood on the Tracks—which was just optioned by filmmaker Luca Guadagnino—here is Dylan at his most verbally playful and radically inventive. Angry, funny, and strange, the poems and prose in this collection reflect the concerns found in Dylan's most seminal music—a spirit of protest, a poetic spontaneity, and a chronicling of the eccentric and the everyday—which continue to make him a beloved artist and cultural icon.

Download or read book At Night They Whisper written by Alex J. Thomas and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by masters like Stephen King and William Friedkin, this bone-chilling collection confronts the grimmest edges of human experience across eight captivating stories. From sinister obsessions to brutal rituals, At Night They Whisper ventures into the recesses of skewed morality to uncover aberrant possibilities few dare depict. While the classic intrigue of ‘She’s Still with Us’ pays homage to old-school detective fiction, these largely original plots seize upon unexplored darkness. In ‘The Forty-Stone Finding,’ freedom and hope itself perish, while ‘Choking Monopoly’ investigates the warped dynamics lurking in family ties. Through stylistic flair and profound realism, author Alex J. Thomas immerses readers in creeping dread whilst also not forgetting to deliver a healthy dose of pulsating startles. If the deepest darkness seems unreal, At Night They Whisper dares all who encounter it: ‘what if...?’
