Download or read book Sally s Magic River written by Frank Gaertner and published by . This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a retired molecular genetics scientist who has authored and co-authored well over 50 patents and academic publications. Sally's Magic River is my only work of fiction. I wrote the story over twenty years ago and first published it as Sally and the magic River in 2014. I am republishing the story in this new format with its new cover and title, Sally's Magic River. Why? Because I think Sally's story may turn out to be the most important thing I've written. When I was 10, life as I knew it came to an abrupt end. One November evening in 1948, as I was trying to finish eating dinner, my father, Herbert Valentine Gaertner, a man who everybody loved dearly, including me, rose from his easy chair to speak to my mother. She was in the kitchen cleaning up. I had been left to finish eating string beans which I hated because I always gagged on them. Apparently, my mother didn't know how to remove the strings. All three of us were listening to one of our family's favorite radio shows, Mr. and Mrs. North, a fun detective series. My father rose from his chair, walked in front of the table where I was seated, came face to face with my mother and was about to speak to her when he suddenly started making a horrible noise. He abruptly collapsed to fall with a crash flat on his back. The ambulance came and we all road to the hospital together. They said my father had passed away at the hospital having had a massive heart attack. I know better. I'm sure he was all but dead by the time he hit the floor. My life turned upside down. This was and still is the worst day of my life. But in retrospect it defined me, to become, in some strange way, the best day of my life. Sally's story is a little like mine. Her life is turned upside down at the age of 10. And I know that it is a story that many people share. Many people have had great tragedies happen at an early age. Their lives, too, have been turned upside down. But, depending on what one does after such an incident, I think many people experience that magic happens over time, and have found as I have that the worst day becomes in some strange way the best day of one's life. For example, Sally and I learned the secret of the vision quest. Our visions become so real that they play like vireos in our minds. In doing this we live our futures before they happen. Why wait when one can enjoy that inspiring future right now? Tragedy left me, as it does Sally, with an obsessive compulsive personality which when put to good use can lead one to persistence, focus and a knowing that one can turn vision quests into reality. This is one thing Sally's Magic River has to offer, but it is not the only thing nor even the best thing in my opinion. The best thing, as I describe it, is to be found in the audible version of Sally and the Magic River.

Download or read book Oculus written by Sally Wen Mao and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR POETRY A brilliant second collection by Sally Wen Mao on the violence of the spectacle—starring the film legend Anna May Wong In Oculus, Sally Wen Mao explores exile not just as a matter of distance and displacement but as a migration through time and a reckoning with technology. The title poem follows a nineteen-year-old girl in Shanghai who uploaded her suicide onto Instagram. Other poems cross into animated worlds, examine robot culture, and haunt a necropolis for electronic waste. A fascinating sequence spanning the collection speaks in the voice of the international icon and first Chinese American movie star Anna May Wong, who travels through the history of cinema with a time machine, even past her death and into the future of film, where she finds she has no progeny. With a speculative imagination and a sharpened wit, Mao powerfully confronts the paradoxes of seeing and being seen, the intimacies made possible and ruined by the screen, and the many roles and representations that women of color are made to endure in order to survive a culture that seeks to consume them.

Download or read book Sally Mann written by Sally Mann and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of ber woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann's extraordinary, intimate photographs of hcr children : Emmett, Jessie, and Virginia reveal truths that embody the individuality of ber immediate family and ultimately take on a universal quality. Mann states that ber work is "about everybody's memories, as well as their fears," a theme echoed by Reynolds Price in his eloquent, poignantly reflective essay accompanying the photographs in Immediate Family. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Mann's pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child's simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy, the holding on, and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made : impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in Sally Mann's astonishing photographs. A traveling exhibition of Immediate Family, organized hy Aperture, opened at the Instituts of Contemporary Art in Philadclphia in the fall of 1992. All of the photographs in Immediate Family were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera.
