Download or read book Shrapnel Maps written by Philip Metres and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing into the wounds and reverberations of the Israel/Palestine conflict, Philip Metres’ fourth book of poems, Shrapnel Maps, is at once elegiac and activist, an exploratory surgery to extract the slivers of cartography through palimpsest and erasure. A wedding in Toura, a suicide bombing in Jerusalem, uneasy interactions between Arab and Jewish neighbors in University Heights, the expulsion of Palestinians in Jaffa, another bombing in Gaza: Shrapnel Maps traces the hurt and tender places, where political noise turns into the voices of Palestinians and Israelis. Working with documentary flyers, vintage postcards, travelogues, cartographic language, and first person testimonies, Shrapnel Maps ranges from monologue sonnets to prose vignettes, polyphonics to blackouts, indices to simultaneities, as Palestinians and Israelis long for justice and peace, for understanding and survival.
Download or read book Shrapnel written by Don R Kabrich and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a warrior a warrior? Is it patriotism? The need to protect and defend? To conquer and defeat? Or is it something not so easily defined? Shrapnel provides a rare, intimate look inside the mind of a warrior who was driven to the top of his profession - the elite of the elite - by the need to shout down the voice of his father, telling him he was a failure, weak and worthless, who would never amount to anything. Some fathers might employ this tactic as a kind of crude reverse-psychology to motivate their son - through sheer obstinacy and pride - to rise up and make something of himself. In Kabrich's case, though, his father's intention was simply to belittle and berate, to make his pronouncements a self-fulfilling prophecy, and to pass on to his son the ghosts of failure that he, himself, could neither conquer nor outrun. Surprisingly, the only weapon powerful enough to lay those ghosts to rest, was surrender.
Download or read book The Politics of Wounds written by Ana Carden-Coyne and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Politics of Wounds explores military patients' experiences of frontline medical evacuation, war surgery, and the social world of military hospitals during the First World War. The proximity of the front and the colossal numbers of wounded created greater public awareness of the impact of the war than had been seen in previous conflicts, with serious political consequences. Frequently referred to as 'our wounded', the central place of the soldier in society, as a symbol of the war's shifting meaning, drew contradictory responses of compassion, heroism, and censure. Wounds also stirred romantic and sexual responses. This volume reveals the paradoxical situation of the increasing political demand levied on citizen soldiers concurrent with the rise in medical humanitarianism and war-related charitable voluntarism. The physical gestures and poignant sounds of the suffering men reached across the classes, giving rise to convictions about patient rights, which at times conflicted with the military's pragmatism. Why, then, did patients represent military medicine, doctors and nurses in a negative light? The Politics of Wounds listens to the voices of wounded soldiers, placing their personal experience of pain within the social, cultural, and political contexts of military medical institutions. The author reveals how the wounded and disabled found culturally creative ways to express their pain, negotiate power relations, manage systemic tensions, and enact forms of 'soft resistance' against the societal and military expectations of masculinity when confronted by men in pain. The volume concludes by considering the way the state ascribed social and economic values on the body parts of disabled soldiers though the pension system.
