Download or read book Memories Thoughts and Dreams written by Guy Bala and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry of intensely reflective and emotional value tenders perpetual reminders to readers about the essence of life and the miracles of love… Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams bleeds with genuine emotion and delicate feelings that only a tattered heart can muster-a heart serrated by diverse experiences. Bala presents a gem of thought that promises to evoke realization about that one thing that somehow keeps people aware of their innermost feelings and reasons for living, that is, to love and be loved in return-a miracle that many do not experience. He dispenses, in every piece, his sincere impression about this miraculous gift of life with hopes of inspiring you to unleash the emotions deep within your own heart . . . a heart that may be protecting a guarded sensitivity. This book will remind you that there is but one final reason for living life to the fullest… In this collection, Bala has scribed his simple, honest, genuine and truest feelings of romantic love unobstructed by the passing pretensions of life. Each poem is profound, yet relatable easily in our complex world of today-giving one the chance to reflect on life’s greatest purpose, regardless of what ultimate sorrow may come. Bala's verse reveals a full spectrum of a poet's innermost feelings, accompanied with splendid imagery, and expressions of great beauty. Anyone who has experienced the miracle of life, love, and loss will find their feelings expressed simply, yet eloquently in Bala's moving, empathetic, and melancholic verse. Bala's experience is often raw on the page, as he writes in a most genuine and reflective style. Such pared-to-the-core honesty pulls the reader quickly into experiences that are universally shared. Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams encourages us to remember, to recall a time when we were head-over-heels in new love. It also reminds us of the poignancy that sleeps in our memories of a love lost.

Download or read book A Tempest of Shadows written by Jane Washington and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reverse harem, enemies to lovers, slow burn romance. "The relentless clock of fate was groaning over to the next hour, ringing the arrival of a battle as old as time, sounding the final alarm, the final chance to fall to our blades or lift them high. It was repeating infernal hours that grew hungrier with each turn, more vicious than the day, the year, the century before." The end was here. The great war had begun. I had been torn apart and remade, a marionette to dance over the coals of this world, stitched together by my tormentors. The great masters thought they could break me down and own me. They were wrong. I had won my freedom, my place in this world, my golden-eyed protector by my side. Until it happened again; the grim call of fate looking out at me through eyes of darkness, the great masters waiting with the power I needed, curses and promises in their hands. It was time to make another deal. It was time to play their game in earnest. Book 2 in the Tempest of Shadows series. Over 105,000 words. This is a slow burn with DARK themes, unwilling anti-heroes, and one hell of a kick-ass heroine woven through a rich fantasy setting.

Download or read book Against the Odds written by Mary Ndlovu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1978: In Rhodesia, the Internal Settlement led to the creation of a coalition government. Smith had, however, neither capitulated nor abandoned his belief in white superiority, and thousands of people fled across the countrys borders.In England, a group of missionaries, supported by the Catholic Institute for International Relations, formed a steering group that was to become the Zimbabwe Project. Originally an educational fund to support exiled young Zimbabweans, it shifted focus toward humanitarian assistance to refugees in the region.1981: The Zimbabwe Project Trust, a child of the war,This lively book interrogates the African postcolonial condition with a focus on the thematics of liberation predicament and the long standing crisis of dependence (epistemological, cultural, economic, and political) created by colonialism and coloniality. A sophisticated deployment of historical, philosophical, and political knowledge in combination with the equi-primordial concepts of coloniality of power, coloniality of being, and coloniality of knowledge yields a comprehensive and truly refreshing understanding of African realities of subalternity. How global imperial designs and coloniality of power shaped the architecture of African social formations and disciplined the social forces towards a convoluted postcolonial neocolonized paralysis dominated by myths of decolonization and illusions of freedom emerges poignantly in this important book. What distinguishes this book is its decolonial entry that enables a critical examination of the grammar of decolonization that is often wrongly conflated with that of emancipation; bold engagement with the intractable question of what and who is an African; systematic explication of the role of coloniality in sustaining Euro-American hegemony; and unmasking of how the postcolonial is interlocked with the neocolonial paradoxically. It is within this context that the postcolonial African state emerges as a leviathan, and the postcolonial reality becomes a terrain of contradictions mediated by the logic of violence. No doubt, Sabelo Ndlovu-Gatshenis handling of complex concepts and difficult questions of the day is remarkable, particularly the decoding and mixing of complex theoretical interventions from Africa and Latin America to enlighten the present, without losing historical perspicacity. To buttress the theoretical arguments, detailed empirical case studies of South Africa, Zimbabwe, DRC and Namibia completes this timely contribution to African Studies.

Download or read book Poems for the Millennium Volume Four written by Pierre Joris and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fourth volume of the landmark Poems for the Millennium series, Pierre Joris and Habib Tengour present a comprehensive anthology of the written and oral literatures of the Maghreb, the region of North Africa that spans the modern nation states of Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania, and including a section on the influential Arabo-Berber and Jewish literary culture of Al-Andalus, which flourished in Spain between the ninth and fifteenth centuries. Beginning with the earliest pictograms and rock drawings and ending with the work of the current generation of post-independence and diasporic writers, this volume takes in a range of cultures and voices, including Berber, Phoenician, Jewish, Roman, Vandal, Arab, Ottoman, and French. Though concentrating on oral and written poetry and narratives, the book also draws on historical and geographical treatises, philosophical and esoteric traditions, song lyrics, and current prose experiments. These selections are arranged in five chronological "diwans" or chapters, which are interrupted by a series of "books" that supply extra detail, giving context or covering specific cultural areas in concentrated fashion. The selections are contextualized by a general introduction that situates the importance of this little-known culture area and individual commentaries for nearly each author.
