Download or read book Diane di Prima written by David Stephen Calonne and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diane di Prima: Visionary Poetics and the Hidden Religions reveals how central di Prima was in the discovery, articulation and dissemination of the major themes of the Beat and hippie countercultures from the fifties to the present. Di Prima (1934--) was at the center of literary, artistic, and musical culture in New York City. She also was at the energetic fulcrum of the Beat movement and, with Leroi Jones (Amiri Baraka), edited The Floating Bear (1961-69), a central publication of the period to which William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Olson, and Frank O'Hara contributed. Di Prima was also a pioneer in her challenges to conventional assumptions regarding love, sexuality, marriage, and the role of women. David Stephen Calonne charts the life work of di Prima through close readings of her poetry, prose, and autobiographical writings, exploring her thorough immersion in world spiritual traditions and how these studies informed both the form and content of her oeuvre. Di Prima's engagement in what she would call the hidden religions can be divided into several phases: her years at Swarthmore College and in New York; her move to San Francisco and immersion in Zen; her researches into the I Ching, Paracelsus, John Dee, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa, alchemy, Tarot, and Kabbalah of the mid-sixties; and her later interest in Tibetan Buddhism. Diane di Prima: Visionary Poetics and the Hidden Religions is the first monograph devoted to a writer of genius whose prolific work is notable for its stylistic variety, wit and humor, struggle for social justice, and philosophical depth.
Download or read book The Language Police written by Diane Ravitch and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2004-05-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’re an actress or a coed just trying to do a man-size job, a yes-man who turns a deaf ear to some sob sister, an heiress aboard her yacht, or a bookworm enjoying a boy’s night out, Diane Ravitch’s internationally acclaimed The Language Police has bad news for you: Erase those words from your vocabulary! Textbook publishers and state education agencies have sought to root out racist, sexist, and elitist language in classroom and library materials. But according to Diane Ravitch, a leading historian of education, what began with the best of intentions has veered toward bizarre extremes. At a time when we celebrate and encourage diversity, young readers are fed bowdlerized texts, devoid of the references that give these works their meaning and vitality. With forceful arguments and sensible solutions for rescuing American education from the pressure groups that have made classrooms bland and uninspiring, The Language Police offers a powerful corrective to a cultural scandal.

Book excerpt: This is the author´s true story. In 1991, as a foreign student in California, the author studies for a computer science degree, excels academically, and gets along very well with his American friends. But later, five invisible voices call on him, whispering instructions for a prophetic message. The author then strives to find a rational explanation for this phenomenon, attempting to authenticate it with coded illustrations. But, he is eventually confined in an American psychiatric hospital, diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. And after discovering the scientific community´s viewpoint--that all Biblical prophets are mentally ill--the author rethinks all his beliefs, including his faith in God. He inevitably returns to the Philippines, where he meets a beautiful girl, who becomes his best friend. Surprisingly, in 1999, he discovers an authenticating key for his message, within an ancient writing system of an indigenous tribe, located in the girl´s native province. Unknown to the author previously, their writing is remarkably similar to the codes he drew six years earlier... REVIEW: "I thought it was very informative and it will be very helpful to students to be exposed to it." Dr. James E. Mitchell, M.D. President and Scientific Director Neuropsychiatric Research Institute

Download or read book Anne Francis written by Laura Wagner and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-ever biography of American actress Anne Francis will enlighten her casual fans and earn a nod of agreement from her diehard admirers. The star of such 1950s cinematic classics as Bad Day at Black Rock, Blackboard Jungle and Forbidden Planet, Anne made the risky decision to transplant her talents to television--and as a result, her acting has often been taken for granted. But TV supplied her with the groundbreaking title role in Honey West (1965-66), where she became the first leading actress to portray a private detective on a regular weekly series. All of Anne Francis' film and television appearances are chronicled, including a full episode guide for Honey West and a complete listing of her guest roles on such series as The Twilight Zone, The Untouchables and Murder, She Wrote.
Download or read book On the Way to My Funeral written by Sarah Delano and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unknown hand seems to have directed the astonishing, other-worldly experiences revealed by author, Sarah Delano, in On The Way to My Funeral. Like ocean waves that are guided by an unseen force to crash and break upon the jagged rocks of the Maine coast, altered time events came crashing through the veils of normal consciousness; breaking apart ordinary concepts of time and space…life and death, leaving the author forever altered. Nothing during the idyllic childhood she enjoyed during the 40’s and 50’s in the safety and simplicity of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, hinted at the events that would follow in the world beyond the limits of her hometown. In a skillful, unadorned style of writing Ms. Delano speaks of the unspeakable: rape on the high seas, war in the Middle East, living future segments of her life before they happened, past life experiences, and a near-death event…all of which turned the beliefs of her simple childhood upside down. In the recounting of these events and more, Ms. Delano invites readers to examine their own lives and beliefs: to hold themselves somehow accountable in a universe for which there is no accounting.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of American Short Films 1926 1959 written by Graham Webb and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2020-07-10 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.
