Download or read book Blues written by John Hartley Williams and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Subversive and satirical, inventive, wry and unconventional, John Hartley Williams has long been celebrated for his maverick sensibility, for his outsider's take on the way we live our lives. In Blues, his eighth collection, he focuses with new directness on the turmoil of Germany and Eastern Europe, and writes eloquently about being English, and staying English, in a continental climate, through all the upheavals of the last fifteen years. Alert to the intricacies and ironies of the language, to the musculature of politics and passion, these poems are chronicles of change, wired to the energies of jazz and science fiction, yet the under-song is a threnody for the loss of a kind of Englishness - voiced powerfully in a moving elegy for the poet Ken Smith. While there is no diminishing of his comic brio, no dulling of his incisive, questioning intelligence, Blues finds John Hartley Williams taking on subjects of new depth and complexity - while maintaining his characteristic lightness of touch, imagination and profound originality.
Download or read book Thunderjack written by Jack Keaton and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack Keaton is a man the likes of which the world has never seen. Traveling around the world, and sometimes beyond, he sees and feels things that would make your heart jump, your skin crawl and your spine shiver, all of them both from excitement and fear. When he started writing down his thoughts, he decided they werenA[a¬a[t interesting enough and started writing down his daily routine. That appeared too interesting, and so he started diluting it into stories of heroes and heroines! The one thing the world seems to lack, more than anything, is heroes. The kind we see in works of fiction. The kind of hero that appears when the need is highest and all hope seems lost. But we often only see the spectacle. Jack Keaton thinks about these heroes and thinks about their inner workings. What and how do they feel when their world threatens to be shattered? What if it takes a bigger decision than he or she could ever have imagined to protect everything our savior has ever known? In this first book, one of the most fascinating kinds of hero, the superhero, is brought forth. Not knowing where his powers come from, he takes to the streets and tries to keep them as safe as he can. Virtually indestructible, itA[a¬a[s more a matter of willpower to keep going. When he finally seems to meet his match, things seems to be coming to an end for him.

Download or read book East Wind Melts the Ice written by Liza Dalby and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To read East Wind Melts the Ice is to slip into a time stream that is both as long and sinuous as history and as ephemeral as the present moment. Drawing inspiration from the thousand year old history of Japanese poetic diaries, and form from the ancient Chinese almanac that she uses to contain her musings, Liza Dalby has accomplished the seemingly impossible task of translating the sensibility of the Heian Court of 11th century Japan into the context of contemporary America. The result is a stunning chronicle of the beauty of time passing and an evocation of the transient and whimsical nature of all things."—Ruth Ozeki, author of My Year of Meats and All Over Creation "I imagine Liza Dalby writing this book in an ancient library, a lion sleeping at her side, as in the paintings of Saint Jerome. As she collects and layers arcane and fascinating pieces of knowledge, she builds her own very personal almanac packed with the wonder of loving two cultures, the intense inner life of each season, and boundless curiosity of the scholar/child. This is a book to dip in and out of throughout the year."—Frances Mayes, author of Under the Tuscan Sun "Liza Dalby's memoir of the seasons is as fresh and captivating as springtime. A very special book."—Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma "This beautiful book awakens the senses. A journal, an almanac of the seasons, and a series of reflections on ancient Eastern Chinese and Japanese cultures, here you will find subtle observations of rain and heat, tangerines, mulberries and paulownia trees, crickets and doves forming a rich tapestry as they are woven with evocative fragments of history—stories of geishas, of salesmen who sold bulk fireflies, of the wood that was used for kimono chests, of emptiness in the tea ceremony. Like a lush garden, this book is meant to savor."—Susan Griffin, author of The Book of the Courtesans

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a family friend bought one of his drawings for 20p, six-year-old Jack came up with the idea to 'draw anything' in return for donations to the hospital that treats his two-year-old brother. His parents set up a website and thought they might make £100. After two weeks, Jack had over 500 picture requests and had raised over £10,000 for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation. Parents Ed and Rose with Jack, Toby and Noah appeared on the Fern Britton Show and Jack's project was featured on Russell Howard's Good News four times. Coverage by STV news, BBC news, and CBBC Newsround have all helped spread the word about this creative and generous little boy. Jack is slowly but steadily drawing the requested pictures which range from a 'dinosaur diving into a pool of jelly' (#1) to 'my (extremely bald) friend Brian dancing like a crazy man' (#80). He doesn't draw every day, only when he wants to, and his parents estimate that he'll finish at the end of August.

The psychologists must successfully cure 33 of the town's most demanding patients before New Year’s 2007, in which a keepsake from every cured patient must be offered as tithe in a process known as the Neon Funeral, which will mark an end to the game. If the psychologists fail, the entire town will be flung into an endless psychosis known as the Neon Void. It is 2006, and Dr. Faust, the last surviving psychologist of his era, is now tasked with fending off the massive unraveling of the townspeople’s psyche while coming to terms with his failure to help his last two clients, as well as his own failing health. With a monstrous version of an irredeemable client from his past on the loose, a weary local detective may be his last serendipitous link to redemption.

Download or read book Dervish Dust written by Robyn L. Coburn and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dervish Dust is the authorized biography of "cool cat" actor James Coburn, covering his career, romances, friendships, and spirituality. Thoroughly researched with unparalleled access to Coburn's friends and family, the book's foundation is his own words in the form of letters, poetry, journals, interviews, and his previously unpublished memoirs, recorded in the months before his passing. Dervish Dust details the life of a Hollywood legend that spanned huge changes in the entertainment and filmmaking industry. Coburn grew up in Compton after his family moved from Nebraska to California during the Great Depression. His acting career began with guest character roles in popular TV series such as The Twilight Zone, Bonanza, and Rawhide. In the 1960s Coburn was cast in supporting roles in such great pictures as The Magnificent Seven, Charade, and The Great Escape, and he became a leading man with the hit Our Man Flint. In 1999 Coburn won an Academy Award for his performance in Affliction. Younger viewers will recognize him as the voice of Henry Waternoose, the cranky boss in Monsters, Inc., and as Thunder Jack in Snow Dogs. An individualist and deeply thoughtful actor, Coburn speaks candidly about acting, show business, people he liked, and people he didn't, with many behind-the-scenes stories from his work, including beloved classics, intellectually challenging pieces, and less well-known projects. His films helped dismantle the notorious Production Code and usher in today's ratings system. Known for drum circles, playing the gong, and participating in LSD research, Coburn was New Age before it had a name. He brought his motto, Go Bravely On, with him each time he arrived on the set in the final years of his life, when he did some of his best work, garnering the admiration of a whole new generation of fans.
