Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If readers would like to sample the genius and diversity of American poetry in the last century, there’s no better place to start.” —World Literature Today When Harriet Monroe founded Poetry magazine in Chicago in 1912, she began with an image: the Open Door. For a century, the most important and enduring poets have walked through that door—William Carlos Williams and Wallace Stevens in its first years, Rae Armantrout and Kay Ryan in 2011. And at the same time, Poetry continues to discover the new voices who will be read a century from now. To celebrate the magazine’s centennial, the editors combed through Poetry’s incomparable archives to create a new kind of anthology. With the self-imposed limitation to one hundred, they have assembled a collection of poems that, in their juxtaposition, echo across a century of poetry. Here, Adrienne Rich appears alongside Charles Bukowski; famous poems of the two world wars flank a devastating yet lesser-known poem of the Vietnam War; Short extracts from Poetry’s letters and criticism punctuate the verse selections, hinting at themes and threads and serving as guides, interlocutors, or dissenting voices. The resulting volume is a celebration of idiosyncrasy and invention, a vital monument to an institution that refuses to be static, and, most of all, a book that lovers of poetry will devour, debate, and keep close at hand.

Download or read book Lydia s Open Door written by Patty Kelly and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking ethnographic study, Patty Kelly examines the lives of the women who work in the Zona Galactica, a state-run brothel in Chiapas's capital city. By delving into lives that would otherwise go unremarked, Kelly documents the modernization of the sex industry during the neoliberal era in the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez and illustrates how state-regulated sex became part of a broader effort by government officials to bring modernity to Chiapas, one of Mexico's poorest and most conflicted states. Kelly's innovative approach locates prostitution in a political-economic context by treating it as work. Most valuably, she conveys her analysis through vivid portraits of the lives of the sex workers themselves and shows how the women involved are neither victims nor heroines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ...seed to produce it's kind which gives individuality; and since the Creator is imaged in visible creation, it must be that back of all manifestations, there is a personality that originates these. That we call Esse--the Divine Love--that gives forth all life, movement and being, in forms that can receive and reflect some quality of this First and only Substance and Form. This includes everything, and carries conviction to all who have not closed in themselves internal perception by sophistical reasoning. There was thus gathered about me a considerable company of which I could have become the leader. This I avoided but remained for some time among them, entering into the social life of the city where I encountered associations that brought up all former states of my life, when I met rebuffs and humiliations of spirit that brought me face to face with my natural inclinations and desires that had been kept in check: the outward expressions restrained, at least, so that I thought myself a fairly decent man that need not shrink from leadership and honor as long as I could clearly perceive the truths that commended themselves to reason as safe to commend to others. But alas! alas! I had not applied them so as to examine my interior motives and order my life according to their manifest intent. I shrank from the gaze of men and alone in bitterness of spirit bewailed my misdoing and implored the Divine Mercy, not shrinking from any outward humiliation. When I came to this point I felt unworthy to mingle with others who had better improved their opportunities, and I offered myself for any service, even to the lowest and vilest of the human race, if I could thereby make some amends for not having lived up to my light as I might and ought to have...
Download or read book Open Mic written by Mitali Perkins and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using humor as the common denominator, a multicultural cast of YA authors steps up to the mic to share stories touching on race. Listen in as ten YA authors — some familiar, some new — use their own brand of humor to share their stories about growing up between cultures. Henry Choi Lee discovers that pretending to be a tai chi master or a sought-after wiz at math wins him friends for a while — until it comically backfires. A biracial girl is amused when her dad clears seats for his family on a crowded subway in under a minute flat, simply by sitting quietly in between two uptight white women. Edited by acclaimed author and speaker Mitali Perkins, this collection of fiction and nonfiction uses a mix of styles as diverse as their authors, from laugh-out-loud funny to wry, ironic, or poingnant, in prose, poetry, and comic form.
Download or read book Memory Voice and Identity written by Feroza Jussawalla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslim women have been stereotyped by Western academia as oppressed and voiceless. This volume problematizes this Western academic representation. Muslim Women Writers from the Middle East from Out al-Kouloub al-Dimerdashiyyah (1899–1968) and Latifa al-Zayat (1923–1996) from Egypt, to current diasporic writers such as Tamara Chalabi from Iraq, Mohja Kahf from Syria, and even trendy writers such as Alexandra Chreiteh, challenge the received notion of Middle Eastern women as subjugated and secluded. The younger largely Muslim women scholars collected in this book present cutting edge theoretical perspectives on these Muslim women writers. This book includes essays from the conflict-ridden countries such as Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and the resultant diaspora. The strengths of Muslim women writers are captured by the scholars included herein. The approach is feminist, post-colonial, and disruptive of Western stereotypical academic tropes.
