Download or read book Beckett s Late Stage written by Rhys Tranter and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beckett’s Late Stage reexamines the Nobel laureate’s post-war prose and drama in the light of contemporary trauma theory. Through a series of sustained close-readings, the study demonstrates how the comings and goings of Beckett’s prose unsettles the Western philosophical tradition; it reveals how Beckett’s live theatrical productions are haunted by the rehearsal of traumatic repetition, and asks what his ghostly radio recordings might signal for twentieth-century modernity. Drawing from psychoanalytic and poststructuralist traditions, Beckett’s Late Stage explores how the traumatic symptom allows us to rethink the relationship between language, meaning, and identity after 1945.

Download or read book Appalachian Trail Thru Hike written by Gary Drury and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is the gateway to new found freedoms and self-discovery. It programs you mind contemplating things a touch differently than you may have before. Much like walking in another man's shoes for a day. Books are not merely for education and entertainment. They are a opening into the authors mind and soul. Weaving into their stories real-life experiences, beliefs, pollical views and other philosophies. When you discover an author, poet or novelist you truly enjoy. It's because you the reader relate to that writer. Poetry is a micro-story conveying its message in the simplest of form. Sometimes poems rhyme sometimes not, prose and 575 haikus often don't. Myriad people claim to loathe poetry. However, poetry is very important in their life. Every song you listen to is a poem that has been placed to music. I'm not trying to push books that is the sellers job. But, the only way to know for sure what you like and don't like is to give writers a try. You may just discover much more in common with them. Next time you read a poem try putting some music to it and see how it reads. Not everyone is going to hike the Appalachian Trail. Not everyone wants to, not everyone is able to. But for those who would like to experience the journey vicariously, walking the Trail in Drury's footsteps as they read his words, the book will be a travel guide. Drury's book FINDING NORTH can take you to the Trail, where you'll share the struggles and the triumphs of seven months that Drury, battered in body and exultant in spirit, will always remember. Published by Gary Drury Publishing(TM)

Download or read book The Source written by Steve Deming and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an anthology of Cowboy Poetry written by Steve Deming. It is his perspective on life and life's moments of challenge. The cowboy way is direct and to the point. Each poem is a word picture that provides an opportunity to focus on the emotions that life generates. "The Source" takes a moment of words before each poem to tell the reader what they can expect in the reading. It gives the reader some insight into the origin of each poem, the inspiration, and the unique qualities, rhyme meters and techniques that Steve has used. The sequence of the poems is in chronological order. The recent poems first, leading the reader on a trail back into the poets history. As the writer's life has progressed, so have the stylistic features of the poems, and the rollercoaster of emotions related. Steve Deming is a trail rider, rodeo participant, winner of various buckles and awards. He is also a spiritual maverick, steeped in Christianity, and love of God, but one who meditates and believes in the reincarnation of the soul. Concentrate, if you will, on one poem at a time. Read each a few times until it flows for you. If you read but two or three poems at a sitting, you will know the meaning and take the subtlety, color, and flow of the word picture away with you. In concert, Steve plays music between each poem to give the audience the opportunity to cleanse their listening palate, and prepare for the next. Stick a copy of this book into your saddle bags and find a spot under a shade tree on the side of a hill to commune. Enjoy.

Download or read book THE MELANIN TRAIL A Poetry Collection written by MAGDALENE MAY FAULKNER and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Melanin Trail' the poetry of Magdalene May Faulkner reflects on the life of the British-born child from the Caribbean diaspora of the 1950s and 60s. Through her work the poet details the struggle for a truth around identity, belonging and purpose for this generation, as it still yearns to become assimilated. For many the desire remains to simply be 'one of the many' British inhabitants of society, with open opportunities. Faulkner, who was born in London in the early sixties, alternates between cynically comedic and philosophical voices of separation, disappointment and aspiration, in a collection of work that is at times disturbing, at times touching and often vulnerable.
