Download or read book WHEREAS written by Layli Long Soldier and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astonishing, powerful debut by the winner of a 2016 Whiting Writers' Award WHEREAS her birth signaled the responsibility as mother to teach what it is to be Lakota therein the question: What did I know about being Lakota? Signaled panic, blood rush my embarrassment. What did I know of our language but pieces? Would I teach her to be pieces? Until a friend comforted, Don’t worry, you and your daughter will learn together. Today she stood sunlight on her shoulders lean and straight to share a song in Diné, her father’s language. To sing she motions simultaneously with her hands; I watch her be in multiple musics. —from “WHEREAS Statements” WHEREAS confronts the coercive language of the United States government in its responses, treaties, and apologies to Native American peoples and tribes, and reflects that language in its officiousness and duplicity back on its perpetrators. Through a virtuosic array of short lyrics, prose poems, longer narrative sequences, resolutions, and disclaimers, Layli Long Soldier has created a brilliantly innovative text to examine histories, landscapes, her own writing, and her predicament inside national affiliations. “I am,” she writes, “a citizen of the United States and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, meaning I am a citizen of the Oglala Lakota Nation—and in this dual citizenship I must work, I must eat, I must art, I must mother, I must friend, I must listen, I must observe, constantly I must live.” This strident, plaintive book introduces a major new voice in contemporary literature.

Download or read book Good Bones written by Maggie Smith and published by Tupelo Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring “Good Bones”—called “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International. Maggie Smith writes out of the experience of motherhood, inspired by watching her own children read the world like a book they've just opened, knowing nothing of the characters or plot. These are poems that stare down darkness while cultivating and sustaining possibility, poems that have a sense of moral gravitas, personal urgency, and the ability to address a larger world. Maggie Smith's previous books are The Well Speaks of Its Own Poison (Tupelo, 2015), Lamp of the Body (Red Hen, 2005), and three prize-winning chapbooks: Disasterology (Dream Horse, 2016), The List of Dangers (Kent State, 2010), and Nesting Dolls (Pudding House, 2005). Her poem “Good Bones” has gone viral—tweeted and translated across the world, featured on the TV drama Madam Secretary, and called the “Official Poem of 2016” by the BBC/Public Radio International, earning news coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, the Guardian, and beyond. Maggie Smith was named the 2016 Ohio Poet of the Year. “Smith's voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark....”—Ada Limón “As if lost in the soft, bewitching world of fairy tale, Maggie Smith conceives and brings forth this metaphysical Baedeker, a guidebook for mother and child to lead each other into a hopeful present. Smith's poems affirm the virtues of humanity: compassion, empathy, and the ability to comfort one another when darkness falls. 'There is a light,' she tells us, 'and the light is good.'”—D. A. Powell “Good Bones is an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.”—Erin Belieu

Download or read book Why I Write written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Download or read book Mrs Dalloway written by Virginia Woolf and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf's fourth novel, offers the reader an impression of a single June day in London in 1923. Clarissa Dalloway, the wife of a Conservative member of parliament, is preparing to give an evening party, while the shell-shocked Septimus Warren Smith hears the birds in Regent's Park chattering in Greek. There seems to be nothing, except perhaps London, to link Clarissa and Septimus. She is middle-aged and prosperous, with a sheltered happy life behind her; Smith is young, poor, and driven to hatred of himself and the whole human race. Yet both share a terror of existence, and sense the pull of death. The world of Mrs Dalloway is evoked in Woolf's famous stream of consciousness style, in a lyrical and haunting language which has made this, from its publication in 1925, one of her most popular novels.
Download or read book Feeling My Existence written by Shawn Akrawi and published by Akrawia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of 60 poems divided into three chapters. The chapters Of Love, Of Beliefs and Of Existence will move readers with feelings as they play an infinite role in this collection of poems. The poems reveal a very deep insight into the call of humanity for the breeding of the feeling of our existence in life.Are you a lover having very strong feelings of affection towards someone who you are romantically or sexually attracted to, no matter, from a rejected boy, to a foolish man, a poor, a beggar, a sinner, a refugee, a rich man, an owner or to God this book "Feeling My Existence" by "Shawn Akrawi" offers the best resolution of your sorrows and sufferings.This gallant effort, "Feeling MY Existence" by "Shawn Akrawi" comprises of 92 pages including three chapters that are consisting of 60 poems.Chapter 1: Of Love (poems)Chapter 2: Of Beliefs (poems)Chapter 3: Of Existence (poems) As the reader moves along the three parts of the book it reveals a prominent feature that "feelings" play an infinite role in this collection of poems. According to Shawn Akrawi feelings that emerge out of happiness, hunger, pain, rejection or sadness lead to reflection, as a result, reflection strengthens our faiths or beliefs and consequently faith builds up our character that gives green light to our existence.Furthermore, the audience receives an eminent concept that all of the characters come down from the frame of real life. As the poet quotes in the Introduction of the book: "We can sense and gather information from our surroundings but we only learn things through our feelings and that is how we create our existence in our minds." Here due to the characterization he appears to be like Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales. In this script "Feeling My Existence" Shawn Akrawi a Swedish with Assyrian roots, who seems to be the embodiment of his name; being under the influence of both of the Lebanese American poets and philosophers Gibran Khalil Gibran and Elia Abu Madi displays an appreciable sympathy and empathy on each end every execution of this piece of art. Moreover he reveals a very deep insight of the call of humanity for the breeding of the feeling of our existence in life. In this fashion, the flight of poet's imagination makes off so recklessly that he takes no time to feel being in the state of self to selflessness and from selfless to back in his self and furthermore mortality to immortality. Therefore, it comes forth as a proof of his strong hold on his feelings and existence. While on the other hand social issues are not left over to be discussed here. Henceforth the three parts of this book manifest the three phases of the poetic maturity that is quite inevitable.The use of language in this script is quite simple, easy and common even when the poetic device of free verse is brought forth into practice it sounds like T.S Eliot. Here, to close my words I, Emilia Johnson, while enjoying my experience as a chief editor of a local journal (AESTHETICS) being published annually; personally feel as if there is no match of these lyrics in their lucidity and they are the recording of a heart that can never be borne by angels or no one else other than a true human being. Accordingly I like the poems: In your eyes, My Angel, Secret Love and Stay. Wishing you all a very nice journey in this manuscript!!! Emilia Johnson
