Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many canonical literary works look to the wild as the site for establishing a man's selfhood.

Download or read book The Cowboy written by Blake Allmendinger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy usesliterary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding, castration,or rustling) that cowboys perform in their "work culture." He then looks at early oral poems that cowboys recited around campfires, on trail drives, at roundups, and at home in their bunkhouses, and at later poems, histories and autobiographies written by cowboys--most of which have never beforebeen studied by scholars. He discovers that these texts not only deal with work but with larger concerns, including art, morality, spirituality, and male sexuality. In addition to spotlighting little-known texts, art, and archival sources, The Cowboy examines the works of Twain, Steinbeck, Cather,Norris, Dana, McMurtry, and others, and features more than 60 historic photographs, many of which have not been published until now.

Download or read book A Blessed Big Day written by Ralph E Brown and published by Doorlight Publications. This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Blessed Big Day brings together more than fifty years of Ralph Brown's Christmas poems. These poems arise from a variety of places, cultures and circumstances. But while the subject matter of these verses spans the globe from villages of southern Pakistan to the woods of Royalston, Massachusetts, and ranges across an emotional scale from exhilaration to deep pain, they all reflect the transcendent joy, faith and reverence of an author who knows Jesus as God Incarnate, and who can write with confidence: If Christmas means what one can do Or is shaped by good health or clime Then the essence of Christmas remains With man and the fortunes of time. These poems also testify to an American poetic tradition, a tradition fading but still alive, which treats poetry not just as the property of literary professionals, but also as an expression of the every day lives, thought and experience of ordinary people. This is the tradition reflected in Best Loved Poems of the American People, and like that anthology, Ralph Brown's poems, often written hastily in the midst of the demands of work and circumstances, encourage us to keep alive the work of the everyday "rhymester."

Book excerpt: Every year during the Christmas season, holiday themed poems are read aloud or enjoyed silently to help usher in that special time of year. It may be a family tradition passed down from one generation to another or a new one just starting. In this beautifully bound book assembled by The Old Mill Press, readers of all ages will find a delightful collections of Christmas poems to enjoy throughout the season. Some of the poems are familiar classics like A Visit from St. Nicholas, better known as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore and The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost to lesser known but poignant poems like Wartime Christmas by Joyce Kilmer and the lovely A Nativity By Rudyard Kipling. Poetry is an art-form that has many facets. It is the beauty of words that express feelings, emotions and thoughts through carefully selected words. One poet called a poem "a thought, caught in the act of dawning." Another said a poem is a means of bringing the wind in the grasses into the house. Still another stated, even more simply: "Poetry is a pheasant disappearing in the brush." If you ask many different people what poetry is you'll get many different answers. That's because poetry affects each of us differently with its focus on words, how they sound, the textures, verse patterns, word choice and interpretations. All of that creates a verbal music--a rhythm, a cadence, a beat--that creates an emotional response in each of us, deep within our soul. A Treasury of Christmas Poems is sure to delight and evoke the warm emotions associated with the holiday season.
