Book excerpt: Poetry. "There is always distance in language. Readers and writers move in this distance, between the innumerable points that define their positions. The poems of NOMADIC TRAJECTORY are but notations of absence and displacement. A nomad reads the landscape s/he travels, considering all the changes that may have taken place since the last passage. Language unveils its possibilities seductively, all that is needed is the first step toward it. Travelers in the world thus become travelers between worlds" -Pasquale Verdicchio.

Download or read book Nomadic Devotion written by Paul William Jacob and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The philosophy of Nomadic Devotion coveys that when we patiently distill, and then follow our deepest calling, we will find ourselves in the places where our real work organically occurs. This ethos is not merely about travel or physical movement, but encapsulates a holistic way of being that is engaging and revelatory, a process that requires profound listening, authentic action, and subtle discipline in order to refine and express our true self. The prose poems within this book, which are divided into six locational groupings, reveal that deep inquiry into the poetics of place can have a profound effect on our art, psyches, souls, interpersonal relationships, communities, and ultimately our cosmologies. When read together, these writings take the reader on a journey that blurs the division between inner and outer locations, awakening us to the shamanic powers of place and our entire environment's transformational effects upon us. In addition, the author includes two contemplative essays on the poetics of place. One utilizes religious, philosophical, and sociological nuances and quotes to holistically explore the topic. The second self-reflects on the various locational groupings and their evolutionary lessons. This book takes the deep study of locality, and through its contemplative poetic lens, renders it approachable to anyone with an interest in the poetics of place.

Book Seeking a Home for Poetry in a Nomadic World

Download or read book Seeking a Home for Poetry in a Nomadic World written by Silvia Panicieri and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly researched overview on one of the most absorbing literary phenomena of recent decades—the trespassing of cultural and linguistic borders—departs from the canonical point of view offered by the English works of the Nobel laureate, Russian-American poet and essayist Joseph Brodsky, to approach the work of the emerging Hungarian-English poet Ágnes Lehóczky. Through the epistemological filter offered by some guiding texts (such as Bauman, Hall, Braidotti, and many others), this study allows the reader to discover the recounting of a search for an identity, where the adoption of English as an artistic vehicle is only the first thread that unites the two “nomadic” authors. Striving to “locate” language and identity, Brodsky and Lehóczky face the limits of doing so, due to the fluid and nomadic nature of language itself. This suggests, if not answers, then new ways of expression, which draw the language of our future.

Book Unknown Actor

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jason Christie
  • Publisher : Insomniac Press
  • Release : 2013
  • ISBN : 1554831016
  • Pages : 125 pages

Download or read book Unknown Actor written by Jason Christie and published by Insomniac Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When poetry meets theatre in the mind of Jason Christie, a smashing performance results! Then as the curtains close, Christie sneaks off the stage, through the scenery, and out into the wilds of the Internet -- and straight into the footlights and teleprompters of human experience. Like a method actor in character long after the credits have rolled, off set, off his rocker, Christie runs wild from Goethe's Faust to Burton's, through 1984 and B movies from the '80s and back again. Beneath his offerings to the actor -- questionable acting lessons, dubious plot treatments -- lurks a deep unease at our accepted practices of looking at each other, kid. Get out the popcorn and turn on your mobile device. This is going to get dramatic.

Book Writing the Nomadic Experience in Contemporary Francophone Literature

Download or read book Writing the Nomadic Experience in Contemporary Francophone Literature written by Katharine N. Harrington and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Author Katharine N. Harrington examines contemporary writers from the French-speaking world who can be classified as literary “nomads.” The concept of nomadism, based on the experience of traditionally mobile peoples lacking any fixed home, reflects a postmodern way of thinking that encourages individuals to reconsider rigid definitions of borders, classifications, and identities. Nomadic identities reflect shifting landscapes that defy taking on fully the limits of any one fixed national or cultural identity. In conceiving of identities beyond the boundaries of national or cultural origin, this book opens up the space for nomadic subjects whose identity is based just as much on their geographical displacement and deterritorialization as on a relationship to any one fixed place, community, or culture. This study explores the experience of an existence between borders and its translation into writing that. While nomadism is frequently associated with post-colonial authors, this study considers an eclectic group of contemporary Francophone writers who are not easily defined by the boundaries of one nation, one culture, or one language. Each of the four writers, J.M.G. LeClézio, Nancy Huston, Nina Bouraoui, and Régine Robin maintains a connection to France, but it is one that is complicated by life experiences, backgrounds, and choices that inevitably expand their identities beyond the Hexagon. Harrington examines how these authors’ life experiences are reflected in their writing and how they may inform us on the state of our increasingly global world where borders and identities are blurred.

Book The Nomadic Poet

    Book Details:
  • Author : Piérre Thomas
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2022
  • ISBN : 9780999833643
  • Pages : 286 pages

Download or read book The Nomadic Poet written by Piérre Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetic tales, musings, poetry, prose, The Nomadic Poet is a compilation of compositions touching on loneliness, depression, gay romantic love, metapoetry, and self-love. A voice characterized as "raw yet eloquent", Thomas' pieces are deeply emotive, unabashedly vulnerable, grand, fantastical, and, at times, whimsical. Wrought with sentimentalism, romanticism, and emotionalism, The Nomadic Poet is a humble attempt to offer a different poetic perspective to our cold-hearted, savage, lonely generation. Thomas show us that vulnerability is not a godawful thing in pieces such as "Why Not Cherish Your Lover?", "If I Seem Serious", "Come Before I Tear", and "He Escapes Me". Self-love is made an objective in pieces like "Mythical Creature" and "The Pageant". The Musings section shares the thoughts that came to Thomas during his moments of meditation and reflection. Romantic love, a thing which isn't always poeticized in LGBT literature, is dreamt of in compositions like "A Profession", "On Account of You", "Our Lovemaking", "Perfection Personified", and "In It". The Nomadic Poet is a collection of written works that aims to be spiritual, ethereal, transcendent, and imaginative.

Book National Healing

Download or read book National Healing written by Claude Hurlbert and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In National Healing, author Claude Hurlbert persuasively relates nationalism to institutional racism and contends that these are both symptoms of a national ill health afflicting American higher education and found even in the field of writing studies. Teachers and scholars, even in progressive fields like composition, are unwittingly at odds with their own most liberatory purposes, he says, and he advocates consciously broadening our understanding of rhetoric and writing instruction to include rhetorical traditions of non-Western cultures. Threading a personal narrative of his own experiences as a student, professor, and citizen through a wide ranging discussion of theory, pedagogy, and philosophy in the writing classroom, Hurlbert weaves a vision that moves beyond simple polemic and simplistic multiculturalism. National Healing offers a compelling new aesthetic, epistemological, and rhetorical configuration.

Book Justifying the Margins

Download or read book Justifying the Margins written by Pierre Joris and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, poet, translator, anthologist and critic Pierre Joris extends his "nomad poetics" to a remarkable zigzagging on the margins of twentieth and twenty-first century poetry and poetics. For Justifying the Margins refuses, precisely, to fill out spaces neatly to yield (to) straightened out, pre-set margins, be they cultural, literary, linguistic or political; Joris rather wanders through those spaces, and thereby "justifies" the margins properly speaking. His travel/travails set off with absorbing explorations of writing as such - traversing languages and crossing genres -, and seem to turn this collection into a marvelous group improvisation of texts, which range from journal entries, over lectures, essayistic writing, (auto)biographical notes, translation, obits and interview, to Joris's outstanding and characteristically intense readings. The author, moreover, brilliantly moves across - and vindicates - multiple fringes. Joris's observation with respect to French literature, for instance, namely that "the most interesting and explorative literary writing in French of the last fifty years has not come from Paris, but from the periphery of the old colonial empire," not only leads him to continually resurfacing meditations on North African and Arabic literature, or the rerouted Surrealism of Unica Zürn's anagrams, it also allows him to investigate the margins of English and American poetry, in Douglas Oliver and Ronald Johnson, or even to deftly (re)consider core figures such as Antonin Artaud, Charles Olson and Paul Celan - with, in turn, new offshoots in Jacques Derrida's pipe or Irving Petlin's paintings.A fascinating "travelogue," and a truly valuable read, Justifying the Margins is highly recommended to both the specialist and general reader interested in experimental art, thought, poetry and poetics!
