Download or read book City Lights Pocket Poets Anthology written by Lawrence Ferlinghetti and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Printer's ink is the greatest explosive."?Lawrence Ferlinghetti Lawrence Ferlinghetti founded the City Lights publishing house sixty years ago in 1955, launching the press with his now legendary Pocket Poets Series. First in the series was Pictures of the Gone World?the only book of his own poems that Ferlinghetti would ever publish at City Lights. Within a year, he had brought out two more volumes, translations by Kenneth Rexroth and then poems by Kenneth Patchen. But it was the success and scandal of number four, Howl & Other Poems by Allen Ginsberg (1956), that put City Lights on the map, positioning the Pocket Poets Series at the forefront of the literary counterculture. A landmark sixtieth anniversary retrospective, this edition is a must-have collection, an invaluable distillation of the energetic, iconoclastic, and still fresh body of work represented in the ongoing series. Ferlinghetti has selected three poems from each of the sixty volumes, including the work of Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Gregory Corso, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Andrei Voznesensky, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Julio Cortázar, Frank O'Hara, Marie Ponsot, Denise Levertov, Diane di Prima, Robert Duncan, Phillip Lamantia, Malcolm Lowry, and many more of the Pocket Poets Series innovative, influential, and often groundbreaking American and international poets. Ferlinghetti provides a fresh introduction that looks back at the inspiration for the series, why certain poets were included, and who were the ones that got away. His behind-the-scenes, personal anecdotes provide priceless insights that shed new light on his vision and his editorial practices at a time when the Pocket Poets Series was shaping the contours of poetry's avant-garde.

Download or read book Theft Is Property written by Robert Nichols and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Indigenous peoples' struggles against settler colonialism, Theft Is Property! reconstructs the concept of dispossession as a means of explaining how shifting configurations of law, property, race, and rights have functioned as modes of governance, both historically and in the present. Through close analysis of arguments by Indigenous scholars and activists from the nineteenth century to the present, Robert Nichols argues that dispossession has come to name a unique recursive process whereby systematic theft is the mechanism by which property relations are generated. In so doing, Nichols also brings long-standing debates in anarchist, Black radical, feminist, Marxist, and postcolonial thought into direct conversation with the frequently overlooked intellectual contributions of Indigenous peoples.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As interest in environmental issues grows, many writers of fiction have embraced themes that explore the connections between humans and the natural world. Ecologically themed fiction ranges from profound philosophical meditations to action-packed entertainments. Where the Wild Books Are offers an overview of nearly 2,000 works of nature-oriented fiction. The author includes a discussion of the precursors and history of the genre, and of its expansion since the 1970s. He also considers its forms and themes, as well as the subgenres into which it has evolved, such as speculative fiction, ecodefense, animal stories, mysteries, ecofeminist novels, cautionary tales, and others. A brief summary and critical commentary of each title is included. Dwyer’s scope is broad and covers fiction by Native American writers as well as ecofiction from writers around the world. Far more than a mere listing of books, Where the Wild Books Are is a lively introduction to a vast universe of engaging, provocative writing. It can be used to develop book collections or curricula. It also serves as an introduction to one of the most fertile areas of contemporary fiction, presenting books that will offer enjoyable reading and new insights into the vexing environmental questions of our time.

Download or read book In the Air written by Robert Nichols and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Someone has vandalized the Total Planet Food Co-op. The floor is littered with chick peas and black turtle beans, homegrown potatoes and Brown Cow yoghurt, knobbly carrots, trail mix, and boxes upon boxes of Celestial Seasonings herbal tea. Surely this is the work of the Beast, a half-bear, half-ram capable (some say) of taking on human form. But is the Beast secretly Chuck, a disgruntled co-op member? Or Mr. Belfast, the churchgoing manager of the competing A& P? Or is it, as one character theorizes, simply a "metaphor for Capitalism"? Readers of Robert Nichols' short stories will find his United States of America to be a place that is at once familiar and yet strangely different. In rural Vermont, Mr. Goss discovers his monthly utility bill includes a $31 surcharge to pay for the murder of four Nicaraguan villagers ("That seemed low," he muses). A Midwest bus station becomes home to countless Indians and Haitians, brought by buses that arrive but never depart. And a remote stretch of Maine seacoast known for its "extraordinary tides" is suddenly littered with corpses--from the Bhopal chemical disaster. Throughout these stories, Robert Nichols' moral outrage is the more eloquent for being muted. His characters continually confront the intrusion of the grotesque and absurd into everyday life with an understated puzzlement reminiscent of Kafka's Joseph K. Depicting a world in which the comfortable and well-off are denied the luxury of isolation from those who suffer, these stories are--like Mr. Goss's unusually sensitve electric meter--a place "where the invisible and hidden is measured."

Download or read book Freedom and Democracy in an Imperial Context written by Robert Nichols and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom and Democracy in an Imperial Context: Dialogues with James Tully gathers leading thinkers from across the humanities and social sciences in a celebration of, and critical engagement with, the recent work of Canadian political philosopher James Tully. Over the past thirty years, James Tully has made key contributions to some of the most pressing questions of our time, including: interventions in the history of moral and political thought, contemporary political philosophy, democracy, citizenship, imperialism, recognition and cultural diversity. In 2008, he published Public Philosophy in a New Key, a two-volume work that promises to be one of the most influential and important statements of legal and political thought in recent history. This work, along with numerous other books and articles, is foundational to a distinctive school of political thought, influencing thinkers in fields as diverse as Anthropology, History, Indigenous Studies, Law, Philosophy and Political Science. Critically engaging with James Tully’s thought, the essays in this volume take up what is his central, and ever more pressing, question: how to enact democratic practices of freedom within and against historically sedimented and actually existing relationships of imperialism?

Download or read book Daily Lives in Nghsi Altai written by Robert Nichols and published by Verbivoraciouspress. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this remarkable tetralogy of short novels, Nichols envisions the nature of our communal, yet highly individualized society in which decentralized democracy, ecological sensibility, bioregional principles, and liberatory technologies are integrated into a traditional culture. It is a vision of utopia emerging out of the rich particularity of history and lived experience. First published in five separate volumes in the late 1970s, Daily Lives in Nghsi-Altai has never gained the recognition it deserves. It is an extraordinary contribution to both literary and theoretical utopianism and should be recognized both for its radical ideology and for the fecundity of the imagination that informs it at all moments. It is a beguiling and inventive mixture of hallucinogenic prose and poetry that has demonstrates a fiercely independent mind and talent at its pinnacle. This reissue includes the full series, Red Shift (with illustrations from Peter Schumann), Arrival, Gahr City, The Harditts in Sawna, and Exile. "As those lucky enough to have read Daily Lives in Nghsi-Altai know, Robert Nichols is one of our most profoundly original writers, his political passion, and acuteness transfigured by a visionary gleam." --Ursula K. Le Guin

Download or read book The Kristin Book Update 2013 written by Robert Nichols and published by Mountain Muse Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells, with the heartfelt power of a father's poetic prose, the story of the first sixteen years of the life of his daughter Kristin, an amazing human being who at birth was described as being a vegetable. It took Robert Nichols over ten years to write this little book telling the distress and delight of his years as the father of a child with Down syndrome. But, this is not a book about a chromosomal abnormality, or even about disability. It is the story, wrenched from the very souls of Robert, his wife Carol, and their daughter Kristin, of a family confronting difficulty with love, humor, and compassion.This book tells a difficult, sometimes sad story of the unfairness, the danger, and the cruelty of the world Kristin has known and her parents have battled. But, mainly, it is the story of a beautiful human being who, throughout her life, has been a source of joy, inspiration, and a lot of good laughs to any who have been fortunate enough to know her. The Kristin Book: Update 2013, with unflinching honesty and passionate truth, will give the reader artful cause to weep, to laugh, and to celebrate the wonderful potential that is implicit to the human spirit. In this update of The Kristin Book, the original 1987 text is included along with an update of the ensuing twenty-five years since publication with sections written by Robert, Carol, and Kristin Nichols.Thank you for caring.

Download or read book The Harditts in Sawna written by Robert Nichols and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1979 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of Robert Nichols’s utopian tetralogy, Daily Lives in Nghsi-Altai. In the previous books (Arrival and Garh City), we were treated to tantalizing glimpses of the imaginary central Asian country of Nghsi-Altai seen through the eyes of three travelers from the West, followed by an investigation of the city in a technologically advanced society which yet maintains an elaborate, "primitive" kinship system. We now turn to six narratives of village life, focusing on members of the Harditt family. Maddi, a twelve-year-old schoolgirl; Dhillon, a farm apprentice; his married older brother, Srikant -- these are the Harditt children of earlier volumes. "Women in Middle Age" tells of Sathan, their mother, and Nanda, their aunt, and the workings of the matriarchy in Sawna. An account is then given of the death of the grandfather, Old Harditt, and his translation into the family’s Ancestor Society. And finally, we see Venu, Sathan’s husband, as an elected official of the Wind Brotherhood of solar engineers. These are not, however, tales of individuals in the usual sense but probes in the web of relationships that constitutes a communal society, the widening circle of clan, tribe, and phratry. Each story, moreover, reveals an aspect of a delicate political-industrial balance -- for the world of Nghsi-Altai is modern, indeed a paradigm of an alternate society.

Download or read book Bob s Essential RV Resort Directory written by Robert Nichols and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-04 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're looking to plan the grand trip of a lifetime, this book is for you! I have been traveling in my RV across North America full time since 2012. I was laid off from my corporate job as an accountant, and I needed a solution for living cheaply. I decided that it was more economical - and fun - to live fulltime on the road. Ever since, I have been keeping notes and records about the sort of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds, where I have personally camped. I also asked around in my circle of other RV enthusiasts to compile the listings in this book. I decided to compound these notes into this comprehensive directory. Think of this book as a personally recommended and curated listing of RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds. I am mainly focused on how your experience would be at these locations while traveling in an RV specifically. I have not included many notes on primitive or tent camping, as all of these locations offer amenities such as electric and water hookups. Many locations in this directory do not offer tent camping sites. I have not sold any spots in this book to any of these businesses. None of them have paid to be a part of this listing. I chose the businesses to be included in this book as those places where either I personally stayed and had a great time or one of my friends in the RV community personally recommended it to me. You will notice that nearly every listing allows pets at their facility, as I know that our furry companions are very special to us, I wanted to make those listing a highlight for your vacation planning. There are also no national or state parks listed here. This is as complete a listing of private RV parks, resorts, and campgrounds as can be handpicked directly from those who are in the RV community. This is a straightforward directory listing of places to stay with your RV in the lower 48 continental United States. I have compiled the listings into their own tables, outlining the necessary qualities of each campground, including their physical address and phone numbers. The information is as current and accurate as I could possibly ensure it to be. Each table listing outlines: Street address Phone number Website (It will be clickable if you're reading the eBook version.) Operating days Price Discounts Offered Maximum width and length of the sites The total number of spaces offered Road conditions (paved, gravel, dirt) Any restrictions (for example, if they have any conditions concerning pets) A list of a few of the amenities the resort offers I have listed the campgrounds by state, and most of the states I have split into regions so you can better decide where you might stay by where you want to be in that state. AS A BONUS If you purchase the paperback version of this book, you can download the eBook version for FREE. The best thing about the eBook version is that the links to the websites of the resorts and campgrounds (if they have one listed) is hyperlinked and clickable. This could save you time when you're trying to research your vacation.
