Book excerpt: "Kid, you're too young, too punk, and too female to be in a real rock and roll band." When an audition for a guitarist's position in an established group goes sour with one snide sentence, 16-year-old Reina Kawamura is determined to start her own punk rock band. With her older brother's hand-me-down Strat in hand, her experiences witnessing the California punk scene a few years earlier, and her best friends at her side and on stage with her, the group starts off as a semi-serious lark. As time goes on, the experiences Reina goes through as a musician and a person in the ensuing months end up changing her life - on and off stage - for the better.

Download or read book Improbable Journeys written by Robin Magowan and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All writers risk their identities, some with each sentence. But abroad, writing about a life that can't help but seem elusive, the charlatan in oneself may feel all too exposed. Limited to the surface, to the most fortuitous of impressions, how can a foreign pair of eyes hope to pen anything that can vie with something an insider, born there, carrying that landscape in his bones, might write? For more than four decades, poet Robin Magowan has journeyed in search of ecstatic spiritual experiences. Hitchhiking and walking, by bus or boat or when necessary by horse, he has explored lands as exotic as Nepal and New Guinea, as classic as Italy or France, and as forgotten as Persia and pre-Castro Cuba. All the while he has submerged himself, whether in the mysteries of Haitian voodoo or the simples pleasures of Burgundian peasant life. Known for the beauty, wit, and expressive power of his prose, Magowan's writing vibrates with the intensity of an outsider who crawls into the skin of a country--and emerges transformed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne-Marie Esson--painter, instructor, and host of the Public Television series Painting with Anne-Marie--takes the intimidation out of a blank canvas! She has developed an amazingly effective step-by-step painting method that can teach any interested student how to create stylish works of art. The process begins with sketches of the subject, followed by a color wash. Then, layer shadows to add depth; bring the image to life with highlights; and finish up with painted accents. Each skill is extensively explained, and seven complete paintings (two floral still lifes and a seaside landscape, beach scene, boat, harbor, and lighthouse) are shown with the key stages stepped out to clarify the techniques. In addition, there’s advice on setting up a proper workstation and creative exercises for inspiration.

Download or read book Symbols in Life and Art written by James A. Leith and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1987-09-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northrop Frye describes the way symbols operate as media of exchange in literature, drawing examples from English literature in difference periods. Eva Kushner examines the increased freedom on expression possible to Renaissance poets because of the availability of a wider range of symbols. Poet and literary historian Douglas Jones probes the use of the railway as a distinctive symbol of both unity and alienation for English Canadians. Abraham Moles analyses the social impact of "dynamic myths" on social changes which break with established traditions. Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov discusses the function of symbols in the art of Van Gogh. James Leith examines the role of symbols in revolutionary movements, in particular the adaptation of the ancient symbol of the equilateral triangle. Anthony Storr discusses the vital role of symbols in the search for a sense of unity in life. Wilfred Cantwell-Smith considers various world religions as symbolic efforts to give ultimate meaning to life. In conclusion, Norman Mackenzie reflects on all the essays, drawing on his own command of modern literature and culture.

Download or read book The Helliconia Trilogy written by Brian W. Aldiss and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 1683 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Science Fiction Grand Master: The sweeping epic of a planet veering from one extreme atmosphere to another—and the humans trying to survive on it. Helliconia Spring introduces us to a tumultuous world that follows an eccentric orbit around a double-star system—and the satellite from Earth secretly monitoring it. Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Brian W. Aldiss then explores the social and religious divisions keeping the planet’s population in conflict even as they’re devastated by plague in Helliconia Summer, and concludes the trilogy with Helliconia Winter, which recounts both the threat of a looming, frigid age of decay and the hope of a new future. The Helliconia Trilogy is both a riveting story and a thought-provoking examination of how our destinies are shaped by the environment around us. Aldiss’s study of fields from astronomy to climatology to geobiology endow all three novels with rich details of the planet Helliconia. This riveting, century-spanning saga is a timely exploration of what climate change can mean for our own planet. “Brian Aldiss’s towering imagination places his Helliconia Trilogy far above standard science fiction” (Daily Mail).
