Download or read book The Echo of Ice Letting Go written by Julie LeMay and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rooted in the harsh, yet beautiful landscape of Alaska, this collection of poems is at once comforting and disquieting, permeated with wisdom, darkness, and resilience. Taken together, the poems form a powerful narrative, as Julie Hungiville LeMay relates a personal story of the recurrence of cancer and interweaves it with an account of her son’s struggle with addiction. In a world of so much pain, her poems ask, how can we find meaning? The answer, often, is nature: among “spruce branches that whisper” and “the yellow joy / of warblers.” Half-found poems that contain lines from John Muir's essays are arranged throughout the book like touchstones, while other poems invoke the spirit of Wordsworth. LeMay’s voice is precise and clear, her lines musical and sonically rich, making this ambitious, wide-ranging book one that readers won’t soon forget.

Download or read book The Lockerbie Bombing written by Jim Swire and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father details his loss, grief, and fight for the truth following his daughter’s death in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103. The destruction of Pan Am Flight 103 over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in December 1988 was the largest attack on Britain since World War II. 259 passengers and 11 townsfolk of Lockerbie were murdered. Libyan Abdelbaset al-Megrahi was convicted of the crime. He maintained his innocence until his death in 2012. Among the passengers was Flora, beloved daughter of Dr Jim Swire. Jim accepted American claims that Libya was responsible, but during the Lockerbie Trial he began to distrust key witnesses and supposed firm evidence. Since then, it has been revealed that the United States paid millions of dollars to two central identification witnesses, and the only forensic evidence central to the prosecution has been discredited. The book takes us along Dr. Swire’s journey as his initial grief and loss becomes a campaign to uncover the truth behind not only a personal tragedy but one of the modern world’s most shocking events. Praise for The Lockerbie Bombing “It is hard to read this book without concluding that Dr Swire is right, and that for reasons that are both understandable and shameful, successive British governments repeated obstructed the investigation and they did so at the instigation of our American allies. . . . This book recounts Swire’s long and painful search for the truth about Lockerbie and his version is persuasive. It is disturbing too because, if he has it right, the Scottish judges who have now three times rejected appeals against the original verdict, have made it hard to have confidence in the integrity of our law.” —The Scotsman “Fascinating, compelling—a book about international intrigue, personal feelings, and ethics. Right at its heart is the search for truth.” —Kate Adie “Lockerbie's heartrending epitaph. . . . A shattering tale of grief and love.” —Daily Mail
Download or read book And the Icicles Froze the Roses In Her Hair written by Miles Walters and published by Miles Walters. This book was released on 2024-02-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in a semi-modern London, And the Icicles Froze the Roses in Her Hair follows Asher Michaels, a recently graduated theatre student and amateur actor who, after having no roles fall his way, suddenly gets invited to work on a new experimental theatre piece that fuses mythology and avant-garde storytelling, overseen by a renowned director who is on the verge of making a comeback. Giving the actors total freedom and converting an old building to solely house the piece, it begins to become a living and breathing creation. And although Asher has surprisingly been cast as the leading man, it appears that the leading lady still remains unknown – a blank space after the character’s name on the cast list. Behind the scenes, Asher begins a relationship with co-star Sally Kale, who rehearse the script together every day. Sally also secretly rehearses the leading lady’s role in case a recast could be made possible. Then, out of the blue comes the actress Ginevra Bianchi, an Italian performer known for her work with a travelling act of artists, painters, musicians and dancers. With the freedom presented within the script, she begins to modify her character, slowly becoming enveloped by her, gradually removing elements of her own identity and submerging herself into the role. Asher begins to express concern for her as she now wears her makeup even when she isn’t acting, shuts herself away from her co-stars and even adorns her body with real roses that cut at her skin. And with a seemingly never-ending fog and rainy season that has surrounded London, Asher begins to wonder if the show can possibly go on as reality seems to become stranger than the play itself.
