Download or read book Gleaner Tales written by Robert Sellar and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glance at the map shows the southwestern extremity of the province of Quebec to be a wedge-shaped bit of territory; the St. Lawrence on one side, the United States on the other. All that is related is associated with this corner of Canada. The book's name comes from the newspaper in which most of the tales first appeared. The book attempts to convey, in a readable form, an idea of an era in the life of Canada which has passed—that of its first settlement by emigrants from the British Isles—and to give an account of two striking episodes in its history, the invasion under Hampton and the year of the ship fever. These are historically correct; the briefer tales are based on actual incidents in the lives of early settlers in the old county of Huntingdon.

Download or read book The Pain Tree written by Olive Senior and published by Cormorant Books. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pain Tree tells stories that speak to all aspects of Jamaican life. Among the characters we hear from are: poor folk making the best of past hardships (“Coal”); rich folk plotting future selfishness (“The Goodness of My Heart”); an old man, familiar with darkness, who discovers in foreign capitalism a force even he cannot control (“Boxed-In”); a young girl, uprooted to a new country, forced to shoulder her mother’s unspoken burdens in addition to her own (“Lollipop”). Bookending these are two powerful stories about the inextricability of home and history: in “The Pain Tree,” the protagonist comes to realize the love she has abandoned, and the pain she has left behind; in “Flying,” the lead character, searching for that which has been missing most of his life, comes home for good. Senior navigates the hills and valleys of narrative with natural ease, interweaving thick strands of emotion and insight yet never losing sight of a story’s ebb and flow. Her Pain Tree is an engaging, thought-provoking read that transports readers fully to another place, where the unfamiliar and exciting clash and commingle with the universal.
Download or read book Selected Poems written by Una Marson and published by Caribbean Modern Classics. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting some of the most noteworthy pieces from a remarkably influential West Indian poet, this anthology sheds light on the lesser-known literary accomplishments of Una Marson. Revealing the work of a woman whose writing pioneered the articulation of gender and racial oppression, brought Jamaican vernacular voices alongside a Wordsworth-inspired passion for nature, and ventured to give subjectivity to marginalized subjects, this collection includes, in addition to her well-known poems, previously unpublished work from the 1930s through the 1950s. Striving to answer the question of how one writes as a modern black woman reaching out to the poor and powerless, this extensive selection embodies an exceptionally significant poetic achievement.
