Download or read book Mola Person written by Lynn Veach Sadler and published by Evening Street Press. This book was released on 2013-04 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lesson in history, almost. A lesson in anthropology, tradition, and roots, almost. A lesson in the power of poetry to rend and blend reality and imagination until they become indistinguishable from each other, certainly. Who is the clone of whom? Who is the real child and grown-up artist? Dr. Lynn Veach Sadler’s exquisite handling of language tools and penetrating research into the subject matter of this chapbook and her unique way of mixing what we know and what we think we know provide us with a landscape that necessitates only the closing of eyes in order to transport us to this world of blurred colors and blurred consciousness. Along the way, we get an ‘answer’ for what happened to one of the Panama Canal engineers.”—Yossi Faybish, Editor, Aquillrelle Press, Grimbergen, Belgium “In her latest chapbook, Mola ... Person, Lynn Veach Sadler channels the voice of an albino male with the Kuna tribe, this particular division on the San Blas islands off Colombia and Panama. The focused poems together form a pleasant anthropological analysis in poetry and a well-researched diversion from the more common poetry themes being explored by contemporary poets. As Publisher of several of her history-researched poems the past few years, I find Mola ... Person to be a compelling expansion of Dr. Sadler’s previous analyses of histories and cultures and a chapbook that will be of interest to those who want a ‘You Are There’ approach to learning about an interesting and lesser-known native culture.”—David Messineo, Publisher/Poetry Editor, Sensations Magazine standard definition of mola: "A colorful fabric panel of Central American origin, sewn with a reverse-appliqué technique and used for decorative purposes, as on clothing or furniture or as a wall hanging."
Download or read book Cartoon Molecules written by Robin Ouzman Hislop and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y'know, somewhere along the line, Ezra Pound and John Cooper Clarke rolled dice for this man's soul, and I can't say who won. Marie Marshall, author of "I am not a Fish," nominated for the 2013 T S Eliot Prize Perhaps the most striking feature of this volume is the poet's portrayal of humanity, which deprives us of any escape from the darker, more insidious depths of our human condition. Richard Vallance, editor of "Phoenix Rises from the Ashes, an international anthology of sonnets" Counterpointing the abstruse and the inescapably basic, these poems draw upon a power that surprises... Hislop's retro-modernist recovery of vision argues for a refreshed perception of poetic possibility. R.W. Haynes, author of "Horton Foote" Poetry that delivered me to a speculation I wouldn't have reached otherwise. And I find that's a critical function of Hislop's poetry. It gathers, then points away. Norman Ball, author of "Serpentrope"
Download or read book Heidegger Looks at the Moon written by R. W. Haynes and published by Finishing Line Press. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replete with floor traps and velvet curtains, Haynes' theater-poems include Texas, Mexico, a conference in Tennessee, a backyard barbecue, and meeting rooms at work among their many interchangeable sets. You'll watch the duels of characters named, alluded to, and unnamed. You'll hear the ghosts of Dickinson, Stevens, Shakespeare, and Berryman floating somewhere near the tracked lighting above the stage. Characters named include Heidegger, of course, Jack Ruby, Cicero, Medea, Hurricane Dolly, sometimes central, sometimes walk-ons, sometimes the costume and mask for the unnamed characters or the poet. And you'll recognize the unnamed characters, those people at work vying for power and career advancement, those writers at conferences needing acclaim. Always startling and unexpected, part of the intrigue is wondering who will appear next and where, at a Texas thrift shop, perhaps? Tragedy and comedy mix. Acts of eloquent end-stopped lines, meter, rhyme and hard-won contemplations give us a glimpse beyond the human mess, like a hawk, "Gliding with dignity, unthought intent, / Like part of the wind itself, its weightless ascent." -Suzette Marie Bishop, author of She Took Off Her Wings and Shoes (May Swenson Award), Horse- Minded, and Hive-Mind, teaches Poetry and Creative Writing at Texas A&M International University Whether Heidegger ruminates on hopelessness and desperation in downtown Waco, or Cicero rants at Cleopatra and Caesar, Haynes's well-wrought phrasing and spontaneous wit enliven his speakers throughout Heidegger Looks at the Moon. These meditative poems span the emotional spectrum, showing us a writer of uncommon observational power. The dissolution of Aristotelian form is found in a desert landscape blurred by rain, Gadamer contemplates imagery from Wallace Stevens, the line between the canine and the human is questioned. In this book of musical and philosophical poetry, Haynes not only displays a radiant intellect, but he also ushers us into the hauntings of human interiority, revealing to us both "marvels everywhere" as well as the wounds the "nurse of philosophy" leaves. -C.H. Gorrie, Editor at Consequence These are wonderful poems. In the best poetic tradition, they come alive and prod memories through elegant allusions to classical mythology, literature, and popular culture. Thinkers like Heidegger, of course, pop singers like Sam the Sham, writers like Harry Crews, common folk like Big Jake, as well as literary, classical, biblical and historical characters, populate the world found here. R.W. Haynes' masterful command of language and poetic forms inspires the reader to come on board and enjoy the ride, and we are the richer for traveling along with the poet to Waco or Ft. Stockton, crossing the Rio Grande with Charon, and visiting imagined pasts or literary spaces with Oswald Alving or Chaucer. -Norma Elia Cantú, Norine R. and T. Frank Murchison Professor of the Humanities, Trinity University, author of Canícula and numerous other works of prose and poetry
Download or read book KEY OF MIST written by Guadalupe Grande and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Streets, courtyards, squares, cages, a microcosm of urban power, the text of the city inhabited by the signs of the artefact and chaos of Babel, the personification of the labyrinth, a moral monster with a fortress-house for a body and a shelter for the desolation of shipwrecked as a head. Key of Mist maps the city soul, linguistic chaos rearranges the poems' voices. The city, the other civilization, the greatness and the spectrum of its intrinsic ruin, a memento mori for the urban castaway on the waves of asphalt. (...) Such is the ethical landscape in which Guadalupe Grande displays her poetic truth, recognizing the city as a hyperspace, where the epic idea of homeland, the countrys ideological circumstances, the historical concept of nation are devastated by the innocent look of someone who does not understand the rush, does not accept the urgency of sacrifice imposed each morning by the necessity of work, the laws of domination, the salary of loneliness. Juan Carlos Mestre (Spanish & English)"

Download or read book Pleroma s Dew written by Fahredin Shehu and published by Inner Child Press. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pieces were written in attempt to hold onto myself in a world where the black of night and the shine of the noon day's sun are always both in existence. No matter how long the dark, the light always arises. No matter the length of day, the night always comes. It's unstoppable, and therefore to be embraced and tried, anticipated or simply accepted. When my patience runs low or I ride the wave too high, I reach for my pen to release the quandaries and center my understanding of God's laws and human's reactions to them, for we all touch one another with our lives and choices. I hope in some way, these pieces of my heart touch yours and cause you to land someplace deep inside your own being where love always abounds and faces all things with victory.Thank YouFahredin Shehu
Download or read book To Evince the Blue written by Munia Khan and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-10-29 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a contrast between a worldly life of learning and pleasure. This is not merely a book of poetry, but a serene place to align our minds with a union of words and images. Here, all the poems have their own melody which deal with simplicity of language, written on themes as mortality, love, life, death, the relationship of human spirit to the senses and so on. Imagery here is almost tangible; every image having a stamp of reality. It is meant to be a reminder to the readers of life's mystical elements, its beauty and darkness where truths are directed towards an undefined freedom, that each can partake.

Download or read book Greek Tragedy in Action written by Oliver Taplin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-10-04 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oliver Taplin's seminal study was revolutionary in drawing out the significance of stage action in Greek tragedy at a time when plays were often read purely as texts, rather than understood as performances. Professor Taplin explores nine plays, including Aeschylus' agamemnon and Sophocles' Oedipus the King. The details of theatrical techniques and stage directions, used by playwrights to highlight key moments, are drawn out and related to the meaning of each play as a whole. With extensive translated quotations, the essential unity of action and speech in Greek tragedy is demonstrated. Now firmly established as a classic text, Greek Tragedy in Action is even more relevant today, when performances of Greek tragedies and plays inspired by them have had such an extraordinary revival around the world.
Download or read book Maelstrom written by Fahredin Shehu and published by Inner Child Press, Limited. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: a few words from the Author Every epoch had its "Word" yet it was emphasized, sometimes repeated combustive to shake the dormant Man we all bear as a sleeping Giant of Creativity. Excluding nothing Human as alien- embracing all as part of the Body, recognition of Vision, Hearing and Perception, pondering on each tiny incident in Life until focusing on one point of concentration, creates a blend of "Word," that touches the most sensible Souls and the most distant Galaxies of the heart. After so many long hours of isolated work and after so many hours of active participation in Life, we bring this book in a traditional format echoing the Primordial message to the Present and Future vocabulary for our Epoch. We do hope these verses shall bring the pleasure of reading, conveying the message of Unity of the Mankind and much hope to all. Fahredin Shehu

Download or read book Bhakti Movement and Literature written by M. Rajagopalachary and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhakti movement had been an energizing phenomenon that provided a concrete shape and an identifiable face to the abstractions of Sanskrit scriptures. As counterculture, it embraced into its fold all sections of people breaking the barriers of caste, class, community and gender. It added an inclusive dimension to the hitherto privileged, exclusivist, Upanishadic tradition. A primal instinct for unmitigated attachment, total surrender and craving for freedom are at the root of the bhakti tradition. From within, it performed a subversive, reformatory function that changed the dynamics of worship at religious level and challenged the hierarchies at social level. Bhakti literature was marked by spontaneity and ecstasy and hence it produced a rich body of verse born of the heart. The bhasa poets from different castes, regions and religions created a bountiful corpus of literature since eighth century AD in the form of metrical compositions, poems, songs, vachanas, bhajans, keertanas and padams. A heterogeneous group, they are distinguished by non-sectarian attitude, vernacular idiom, faith in divinity, dismissal of rituals and caste, and affinity with the underprivileged sections. Rooted in the age and the soil their literature is unique in that each of them bears his/her unique stamp of a distinct idiom in their dialogue with God who is like any other human being as He exchanged the roles of a lover, beloved, companion, benefactor and guide. Bhakti is as exciting as ever in that it attracts critics into its atmospheric zone over and again, and they come up with multiple interpretations and commentaries. The twenty seven articles in this volume trace the beginnings and growth of bhakti movement and literature as propagated by a number of poet-saints across India up to the twentieth century. The poet-saints discussed in the volume include Andal, Kanakadasa, Mirabai, Kabir, Vemana, Pothana, Annamayya and others. [Subject: Literature, India Studies]
