Download or read book Scrappy Little Nobody written by Anna Kendrick and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling collection of humorous autobiographical essays by the Academy Award nominated actress and star of Up in the Air and Pitch Perfect. Even before she made a name for herself on the silver screen starring in films like Pitch Perfect, Up in the Air, Twilight, and Into the Woods, Anna Kendrick was unusually small, weird, and “10 percent defiant.” At the ripe age of thirteen, she had already resolved to “keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But here’s the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out.” In Scrappy Little Nobody, she invites readers inside her brain, sharing extraordinary and charmingly ordinary stories with candor and winningly wry observations. With her razor-sharp wit, Anna recounts the absurdities she’s experienced on her way to and from the heart of pop culture as only she can—from her unusual path to the performing arts (Vanilla Ice and baggy neon pants may have played a role) to her double life as a middle-school student who also starred on Broadway to her initial “dating experiments” (including only liking boys who didn’t like her back) to reviewing a binder full of butt doubles to her struggle to live like an adult woman instead of a perpetual “man-child.” Enter Anna’s world and follow her rise from “scrappy little nobody” to somebody who dazzles on the stage, the screen, and now the page—with an electric, singular voice, at once familiar and surprising, sharp and sweet, funny and serious (well, not that serious).

Download or read book Maine written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine: The Home Place features ninety-six breathtaking and elegantly presented color photographs of Maine, all previously unpublished, accenting what the author/photographer refers to as "the other Maine." Taken over the course of twenty-four years, these powerful and provocative images are presented in five sections that together, will modify many readers' perceptions of the essence of Maine, a state widely held to be defined by its picturesque, rock-ribbed coastline clinging to a murky and unknown outback. "The Land" celebrates the stunning, too-often overlooked beauties of tranquil inland Maine; "The People" highlights the unique and marvelous character of Mainers today; "Farms" poignantly exposes the nature of rural contemporary life, in which Maine faces the decline and disappearance of its farm heritage; "Sonatas, Fractals, Koans, and Elegies" closely observes Maine's striking lakes, mountains, and woodlands; and, "The Coast" features Sayeen's fresh take on Maine's well-loved harbors and shore. Brief narratives by the photographer introduce each section, and the book closes with his short "Notes on Photography." The lyrical introduction by Roger Payne sets the stage for the photographic feast that is Maine: The Home Place. Each memorable photograph has meaning in terms of the landscape and the people who live and work in Maine. Together they subtly convey inland and coastal Maine's ravishing beauty and dramatic geography, the Yankee innocence, durability, and enduring purity of spirit embodied by Mainers in the face of modern challenges to their forefathers' honored way of life, and the wealth of visually striking forms in which nature manifests herself in all seasons. Visitors and residents alike will cherish this emotionally charged and exquisite visual celebration of Maine, the first photographic collection to pay homage to the entire state in all its grace and glory.

Download or read book Words in Air written by Elizabeth Bishop and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-02-18 with total page 1156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Lowell once remarked in a letter to Elizabeth Bishop that "you ha[ve] always been my favorite poet and favorite friend." The feeling was mutual. Bishop said that conversation with Lowell left her feeling "picked up again to the proper table-land of poetry," and she once begged him, "Please never stop writing me letters—they always manage to make me feel like my higher self (I've been re-reading Emerson) for several days." Neither ever stopped writing letters, from their first meeting in 1947 when both were young, newly launched poets until Lowell's death in 1977. Presented in Words in Air is the complete correspondence between Bishop and Lowell. The substantial, revealing—and often very funny—interchange that they produced stands as a remarkable collective achievement, notable for its sustained conversational brilliance of style, its wealth of literary history, its incisive snapshots and portraits of people and places, and its delicious literary gossip, as well as for the window it opens into the unfolding human and artistic drama of two of America's most beloved and influential poets.
