Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: fertility rites is a collection of poetry and prose that captures all the blood, hesitation, hips and surrender passed from woman to woman, from woman to man and back again. It presents a new mythology, highlighting an experience that is both primal and restrained, sensual, cautious, but entirely trusting of the earth, the universe and all its mysteries. The poems reach back matrilineally throughout history, exorcising the kind of emotions that should not be passed on, but too often are and sharing all the joys and experiences that aren't shared enough. Transcendent and personal, this work is a rite of passage all its own.

Download or read book The Rites of Cricket and Caribbean Literature written by Claire Westall and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses cricket’s place in Anglophone Caribbean literature. It examines works by canonical authors – Brathwaite, Lamming, Lovelace, Naipaul, Phillips and Selvon – and by understudied writers – including Agard, Fergus, John, Keens-Douglas, Khan and Markham. It tackles short stories, novels, poetry, drama and film from the Caribbean and its diaspora. Its literary readings are couched in the history of Caribbean cricket and studies by Hilary Beckles and Gordon Rohlehr. C.L.R James’ foundational Beyond a Boundary provides its theoretical grounding. Literary depictions of iconic West Indies players – including Constantine, Headley, Worrell, Walcott, Sobers, Richards, and Lara – feature throughout. The discussion focuses on masculinity, heroism, father-son dynamics, physical performativity and aesthetic style. Attention is also paid to mother-daughter relations and female engagement with cricket, with examples from Anim-Addo, Breeze, Wynter and others. Cricket holds a prominent place in the history, culture, politics and popular imaginary of the Caribbean. This book demonstrates that it also holds a significant and complicated place in Anglophone Caribbean literature.

That we have had to come to the edge of our own annihilation as a species to collectively shift how we live, that only in the dark glare of this crisis, can a new world from the ashes of the old one now be formed.Dom Bury is a writer and activist who runs workshops on the emotional and human impacts of climate change and environmental degradation. He received an Eric Gregory Award in 2016 and won the 2017 National Poetry Competition with his poem 'The Opened Field'. Rite of Passage is his first collection.

Book excerpt: "In 1968, a young Black man, Henry Dumas, went through a turnstile at a New York City subway station. A transit cop shot him in the chest and killed him. Circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. Before that happened, however, he had written some of the most beautiful, moving, and profound poetry and fiction that I have ever in my life read. He was thirty-three years old when he was killed, but in those thirty-three years, he had completed work, the quality and quantity of which are almost never achieved in several lifetimes. He was brilliant. He was magnetic, and he was an incredible artist." Toni Morrison

Download or read book Strike Sparks written by Sharon Olds and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2004-09-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most gifted and widely read poets—the winner of the Pulitzter Prize and the T.S. Eliot Prize—comes a powerful collection of 117 of her finest poems drawn from her seven published volumes. Michael Ondaatje has called Sharon Olds’s poetry “pure fire in the hands” and cheered the “roughness and humor and brag and tenderness and completion in her work as she carries the reader through rooms of passion and loss.” This rich selection exhibits those qualities in poem after poem, reflecting, moreover, an exciting experimentation with rhythm and language and a movement toward an embrace beyond the personal. Subjects are revisited–the pain of childhood, adolescent sexual stirrings, the fulfillment of marriage, the wonder of children–but each recasting penetrates ever more deeply, enriched by new perceptions and conceits. Strike Sparks is a testament to this remarkable poet’s continuing and amazing growth.
