Download or read book Eros Faces of Love written by Jeff Cannon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word, Eros, names not only a Greek god of love, but also an asteroid! What does an ecstatic filled epiphany of empathic compassionate fulfillment have to do with a hard and lifeless, rocky chunk of matter? Eros: Faces of Love fearlessly enters the spiral labyrinth of this paradox. With penetratingly tender reflection and bold confessional scrutiny, the author ponders whether love is the arrival of a “longed for gift” or the disaster of “an unexpected meteor”. As sensual descriptions reveal the ecstatic delight of “islands of paradise”, passionate metaphors uncover rocky “hidden coves of scorn”. Can unsettled dreams temper the hectic race to make space ‘to love’? Can fond remembrances call one home to rest and simply let space open ‘for love’? Eros: Faces of Love opens the space of the heart for both the lover and the beloved to find out.
Download or read book Finding the Father at Table written by Jeff Cannon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Wolfe in Look Homeward Angel asked, “Which of us has looked into his father’s heart?” In Finding the Father at Table, Cannon does this and clears a path for us with simple words and earthy images. Embodied metaphors of a boy’s prayer and a dancing girl dissolve mystery and reveal the sacredness of the commonplace. Longing splashed with hope and sadness washed with passionate concern reach the heart of the matter. There we “find the voice stronger than a whisper, more real than a memory”. This book is an important read for both men and women to embrace more firmly or for the first time the first man they got to know.

Book excerpt: First published in 1977, Ronald Johnson's RADI OS revises the first four books of Paradise Lost by excising words, discovering a modern and visionary poem within the seventeenth-century text. As the author explains, "To etch is 'to cut away, ' and each page, as in Blake's concept of a book, is a single picture." With God and Satan crossed out, RADI OS reduces Milton's Baroque poem to elemental forces. In this retelling of the Fall, song precipitates from chaos, sight from fire: "in the shape / as of / above the / rose / through / rose / rising / the radiant sun. -- Contracubierta.

Readers also learn how to integrate children's and young adult literature, primary sources, biographies, essays, poetry, and online content, communities, and websites into their classrooms. Each chapter offers concrete teaching examples and practical suggestions to help make literacy relevant to students' content area learning. Author Sharon Kane demonstrates how relevant reading, writing, speaking, listening, and visual learning activities can improve learning in content area subjects and at the same time help readers meet national content knowledge standards and benchmarks.

Download or read book Open Wide a Wilderness written by Nancy Holmes and published by Wilfrid Laurier University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-06 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first anthology to focus on the rich tradition of Canadian nature poetry in English, Open Wide a Wilderness is a survey of Canada’s regions, poetries, histories, and peoples as these relate to the natural world. The poetic responses included here range from the heights of the sublime to detailed naturalist observation, from the perspectives of pioneers and those who work in the woods and on the sea to the dismayed witnesses of ecological destruction, from a sense of terror in confrontation with the natural world to expressions of amazement and delight at the beauty and strangeness of nature, our home. Arranged chronologically, the poems include excerpts from late-eighteenth-century colonial pioneer epics and selections from both well-known and more obscure nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers. A substantial section is devoted to contemporary writers who are working within and creating a new ecopoetic aesthetic in the early twenty-first century. Don McKay’s introductory essay, “Great Flint Singing,” explores in McKay’s inimitable way the thorny issues of Canadian poets’ representations of nature over the past 150 years. Focusing on key texts by Duncan Campbell Scott, Charles G.D. Roberts, Earle Birney, Dennis Lee, and others, the essay traces Wordsworthian influences in a New World context, celebrates Canadian poets’ love of natural history observation, and finds a way through a rich and contradictory tradition to current trends in ecopoetics.
