Book The Banquet of Donny   Ari

Download or read book The Banquet of Donny Ari written by Naomi Guttman and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. If Dionysus and Ariadne lived in Montreal in the late twentieth century, would he serve veal stuffed with apples and pate de fois gras? Coach nubile young singers in a performance of L'Orfeo? Would Ariadne's thread be fashioned into tapestries of furious elegy in the face of environmental catastrophe? Would their marriage survive? Amid a fictional marriage in a state of malaise and a real world on the edge of environmental disaster, Guttman lays open moments of vexation and tenderness, of grief, guilt, betrayal and love. Sounding through these moments are the harpsichord and the loom, drawing Donny and Ari, their sons Stephan and Onno, their corgie and their parrot, into the long weave of myth, art and human history. "Richly detailed, passionate, witty, despairing, and brave, the lyric force of these poems conveys most of all a deep knowledge and love of a complex but recognizable world." Peter Meinke"

Book Wet Apples  White Blood

    Book Details:
  • Author : Naomi Guttman
  • Publisher : McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
  • Release : 2007
  • ISBN : 0773577165
  • Pages : 90 pages

Download or read book Wet Apples White Blood written by Naomi Guttman and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2007 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naomi Guttman's new poetry collection was inspired by the role of nursing in human evolution and culture. The first cycle of poems, "Wet Apples, White Blood," offers lyric glimpses into archetypes of breastfeeding women in history and myth. The dramatic action in the second cycle, "Galactopoesis," centers around the experience of a mother whose young child is hospitalized. Galactopoesis is the medical term for the continued secretion and production of milk. It derives from the Greek radicals for 'milk' (galacto) and 'making' (poesis), which is also 'poetry.' In Wet Apples, White Blood, nursing, as a constant creative act dependent on the baby's demand, is a trope for the creative process and for questions of biology, psychology, and spirituality.

Book excerpt: Dazzling collection of masques from Manitoba Book of the Year and Walrus Poetry Prize?winning author. Monologue Dogs is a series of contemporary dramatic monologues. Every voice has its own imagined rhythm and nuances of poetic speech that are as vibrant, wayward, mournful, errant, or unruly as the characters who speak. Setting the lyric against street argot, archaic language against deflating or ironic feints, metaphors against declarative sentences, the elegiac against the ribald, classical or literary allusions against anachronistic references, these monologues reflect our own disordered subjectivities. In the words of Molly Peacock: Read her for a fresh, contemporary and knowing sensibility - not to mention an unforgettable sense of humour. Suddenly the car drops down on all fours and will go no further. Arrival is neither here nor there, mother says, searching for her key. But her key is in the last lost pocket of the world's overcoat and tonight - tonight the forest is ajar. - from The Hunger Artists Praise for Monologue Dogs: Again Méira Cook proves herself to be one of Canada's most compelling poets. - Molly Peacock. These are poems to read and reread with growing pleasure and admiration. - Steven Heighton

Josephson explores the political, environmental, and public health issues surrounding one of America's most dangerous pastimes. Each chapter tells the story of an ecosystem within the United States and the devices that wreak havoc on it - personal watercraft (PWCs) on inland lakes and rivers; all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in deserts and forests; lawn mowers and leaf blowers in suburbia. In addition to environmental impacts, Josephson discusses the development and promotion of these technologies, the legal and regulatory efforts made to improve their safety and environmental soundness, and the role of owners' clubs in encouraging responsible operation. research, nongovernmental organizations, and manufacturers, Josephson's compelling history leads to one irrefutable conclusion: these machines cannot be operated without loss of life and loss of habitat.

Book Cities in Asia by and for the People

Download or read book Cities in Asia by and for the People written by and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the active role of urban citizens in constructing alternative urban spaces as tangible resistance towards capitalist production of urban spaces that continue to encroach various neighborhoods. The collection of narratives presented here brings together research from ten different Asian cities and re-theorises the city from the perspective of ordinary people facing moments of crisis, contestations, and cooperative quests to create alternative spaces to those being produced under prevailing urban processes. The chapters accent the exercise of human agency through daily practices in the production of urban space and the intention is not one of creating a romantic or utopian vision of what a city "by and for the people" ought to be. Rather, it is to place people in the centre as mediators of city-making with discontents about current conditions and desires for a better life.
