Download or read book A Poet a Life written by Martha Baskin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-04-24 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems was written over a lifetime. Rather than presenting them in chronological order, they are collected and presented in sections reflecting the preoccupations which prompted them. We are all born into some sort of family, to some sort of culture, into a specific language, and to some extent, that is what defines us. Love, whom we love, and how that works out is a topic we all encounter. Joy and contentment mingle in our mind along with disappointment, despair, and existential questions. We all have Others in our life, those with whom we share our brief time on earth – our relationship to family, loved one, strangers, friends, animals, and the environment, are subjects we all ponder. Poets are those of us who can’t resist struggling to record those feelings and jotting them down in some sort of personal style.

Download or read book French By Heart written by Rebecca S. Ramsey and published by Crown. This book was released on 2007-04-24 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can a family of five from deep in the heart of Dixie find happiness smack dab in the middle of France? French By Heart is the story of an all-American family pulling up stakes and finding a new home in Clermont-Ferrand, a city four hours south of Paris known more for its smoke-spitting factories and car dealerships than for its location in the Auvergne, the lush heartland of France dotted with crumbling castles and sunflower fields. The Ramseys are not jet-setters; they’re a regular family with big-hearted and rambunctious kids. Quickly their lives go from covered-dish suppers to smoky dinner parties with heated polemics, from being surrounded by Southern hospitality to receiving funny looks if the children play in the yard without shoes. A charming tale with world-class characters, French By Heart reads like letters from your funniest friend. More than just a slice of life in France, it’s a heartwarming account of a family coming of age and learning what “home sweet home” really means.

Download or read book Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth Century France written by Cheryl Krueger and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite long-standing assertions that languages, including French and English, cannot sufficiently communicate the experience of smell, much of France’s nineteenth-century literature has gained praise for its memorable evocation of odours. As French perfume was industrialized, democratized, cosmeticized, and feminized in the nineteenth century, stories of fragrant scent trails aligned perfume with toxic behaviour and viewed a woman’s scent as something alluring, but also something to be controlled. Drawing on a wealth of resources, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France explores how fiction and related writing on olfaction meet, permeate, and illuminate one another. The book examines medical tracts, letters, manuscripts, posters, print advertisements, magazine articles, perfume manuals, etiquette books, interviews, and encounters with fragrant materials themselves. Cheryl Krueger explores how the olfactory language of a novel or poem conveys the distinctiveness of a text, its unique relationship to language, its style, and its ways of engaging the reader: its signature scent. Shedding light on the French perfume culture that we know today, Perfume on the Page in Nineteenth-Century France follows the scent trails that ultimately challenge us to read perfume and literature in new ways.
