Download or read book The Art of Being Irish in Hell s Kitchen written by James F. Olwell and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid the turmoil of the 1960s and 1970s—an era that included the Black Civil Rights movement, the war in Vietnam, and the Troubles in Northern Ireland—young Irish Americans in New York began to question what it meant to be Irish in America. Led by Irish revolutionary socialist Brian Heron, these young people discarded outdated stereotypes and created an inclusive space to explore, celebrate, and share their culture. Thus was born An Claidheamh Soluis, the Irish Arts Center, an organization that is still going strong fifty years later. As an early organizer and director of the Irish Arts Center, James F. Olwell recounts how this premier cultural institution came to be. Beginning with his own experiences growing up Irish American in the Bronx, Olwell describes how Irish Americans grew to reclaim their cultural identity and share their art, traditions, and language through the Irish Arts Center. Olwell combines his personal experiences with extensive interviews and broader historical context to bring the story of the 1970s Irish Arts Center to life. Well researched and replete with funny, moving, and thoughtful anecdotes, The Art of Being Irish in Hell’s Kitchen is an essential cultural history of the Irish American community in New York. Pull up a chair and enjoy the tale. All are welcome here.
Download or read book Living with Limericks written by Garrison Keillor and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio personality and author Garrison Keillor delights and astounds in this hybrid memoir/poetry collection that combines anecdotes from his childhood and his "A Prairie Home Companion" years with literary limericks, darkly humorous limericks, extended limericks (aka limericks with porches), and so much more. Limericks are the poems that can be written in the empty spaces between life, Keillor posits, and this compact book illustrates the full range of the form's utility: thank-you notes to doctors, odes to "Prairie Home" performers, postcard greetings from exotic places, succinct biographies of favorite writers, and scribbles in the margins of Sunday church programs. Readers who have always pined for the perfect limerick hinging on the place name "Schenectady" will at long last be placated. Meanwhile, longtime Keillor fans will gain insight into a whole new side of the bestselling author, whose obsession with limericks goes all the way back to when the bespectacled, lanky youth wearing hand-me-down jeans (from his sister) recited to his Anoka High School class: There was a young man of Anoka Who tried to write a great limerick. He tried and he tried And some were not bad, But something seemed to be missing.

Download or read book A Confederacy of Dumptys written by John Lithgow and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next book in John Lithgow's New York Times bestselling series Following the success of New York Times bestsellers Dumpty and Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. A Confederacy of Dumptys takes us through a history of twenty-five "American Scoundrels" in this all-new collection of Lithgow's satirical poems and illustrations. While the Trump Era was rife with corruption and abuse of power, it was nothing new. Through Lithgow's cutting humor, you will read about a rogues' gallery of villains that came before Donald J. Trump, powerful men and women who were corrupt, venal, criminal, adulterous, racist, or just plain disgusting. With dark and lyrical stories from across American history, you will learn about long-forgotten figures and bad actors of today, including the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the perpetrator of 19th century women's pyramid schemes, and participants in both the Watergate scandal and the Capitol insurrection. Trump and Nixon show up, of course, but also Leona Helmsley, Boss Tweed, Typhoid Mary, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, and many more. Skipping through time, and delivered with classic Lithgow wit and style, A Confederacy of Dumptys is an exuberant reminder of how not to repeat history. Digital audio edition read by the author. The perfect book for: • Political satire fans—viewers of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. • American history buffs and trivia enthusiasts—readers of Jon's Stewart's America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction and Josh Clark's Stuff You Should Know: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things. • Poetry, art, and illustration aficionados.
Download or read book The Limerick Restored written by Poxy Brothers and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-03-14 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By purchasing this volume, you are participating in the restoration of a culture from the brink of total collapse. Please, allow me to explain. The limerick is a type of folk poem with its origins in the early 18th-century Anglo world. Often hilariously erotic, limericks constitute an essential literary category in the canon of English poetry. But with the 21st-century rise of political correctness, this great tradition has been reduced to a pathetic, shriveled version of its former self. No truly brilliant collection of originals has been seen in decades, and the anthologies are gathering dust. With nowhere else to turn, the literati of today are relegated to digging up old copies of out-of-print classics to satisfy their lust for the vile hilarity, delightful vocabulary, and singsong rhythm of this vital poetic form. This decline is a great loss for the art and literature world, and a tragedy for our language at large. Once a pillar of literary humor, the decline of the X-rated limerick represents the decline of civilization itself; a symbol of our cultural descent into a world of bland, dystopic sterility and aimless outrage. It's time that this wrong was righted. To that end, please enjoy this book of over 1,000 original limericks for a fresh generation; a collection of delightfully disgusting poems replete with modern references for the new century's readers. Old students of the limerick desperate for new material will be delighted to find it here, and those still uninitiated into this important English tradition can now discover it in earnest. Your participation in this cultural revitalization is nothing short of historic. Onward! Yours Truly, Gulliver Einhorn, Esq., Personal Representative of the Poxy Brothers
