Download or read book Skagit River Anthology written by Craig Martelle and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Skagit Valley Writers League is a northwest Washington organization that has drawn creative people together for more than six decades. They gather in search of inspiration, encouragement and friendship, and they cover a wide spectrum. Some seek to sell their first articles or poems or perhaps even their first book. Most, however, already are publishing veterans. Some, in fact, have written books that sell hundreds of thousands of copies. As members of the Writers League, these people come together not as competitors but as colleagues, to share hard-won professional skills and to boost each other's opportunities for success. The title of this book celebrates the river that dramatically impacts the culture of the place where most of our writers live, lovely northwest Washington. The title also serves as a metaphor that speaks to the quality of the writers whose work appears here. The Skagit is not widely known outside of Washington state despite the fact it is the third-largest river on the entire west coast of the lower 48. It is the only one in that entire area that produces viable populations of all five of the species of Pacific Salmon that are indigenous to North America, and it is the major contributor of salmon to Washington's iconic Puget Sound.

Download or read book Vagrants Accidentals written by Kevin Craft and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vagrants & Accidentals, the second full-length collection from poet Kevin Craft, is part vade mecum, part songbook, whose taut lines and adaptable stanzas traffic in the personal effects of emigration and estrangement, exile and return. In ornithology, a vagrant or accidental is a bird that appears out of its natural or normal range, blown off course by a storm, or inadvertently introduced into a new environment by human trade. Likewise, Craft is interested in things taken out of context--Greek myths in the Pacific Northwest, the potsherd or megalith stranded in a museum, excess carbon in the atmosphere, American pop songs in a Roman piazza, adoptions, estrangements, dangerous migrations, the constant shuffle of human beings from place to place—asking how we reorient ourselves in the crossfire of constant, rapid, global transformation. Organized into four parts, the collection moves from the deeply personal to more global issues of interconnectedness. In language intensely lyrical, grounded in prehistory and science, Craft evokes questions of family and belonging that underscore a lifetime, gradually revealing the forces that shape us from the deepest reaches of time and place. As some birds sing to define their territory, so his poetry calls between the raggedness of daily life and our deeper yearning for coherence.

Download or read book Praising the Paradox written by Tina Schumann and published by Red Hen Press. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of poetry with “resilience throughout and an awareness of the common world that both comforts and devastates” (Dorianne Laux, award-winning author of Only As the Day Is Long). From Tina Schumann, recipient of the American Poet Prize from The American Poetry Journal and a Pushcart Prize nominee, comes a full collection of fifty-six poems reflecting on the concept of self, loss, fragility, and the constructs we must create in order to face the transient nature of life. Praising the Paradox was named a finalist in the National Poetry Series, The New Issues Poetry Prize, The Four Way Books Intro Prize, and others. It was also listed as a “remarkable work” in the Tupelo Press open submission period. “A rich guidebook for a life—a grand companion. These deeply satisfying poems, with their lush images and fluid sound movements, unfold in elegance, settling the spirit. In every stanza, Schumann’s honest voice feels compelling and humble . . . Nothing forced, nothing labored. What a treat.” —Naomi Shihab Nye, author of The Tiny Journalist “Tina Schumann’s stunning new collection is extraordinary in its intelligence. She has organized her poems by locating the innumerable paradoxes in our lives, in our minds, in the world. Her book is brilliantly unique and, I dare say, unrepeatable; she owns this territory. And what is so important about a paradox? The answer is that paradox is what the world is made of. The other (necessary) ingredient here is feeling. Praising the Paradox will make you feel, think, and reflect. Schumann’s lines will resonate in your heart. They will resonate in mine forever.” —Kelly Cherry, author of Observing the Invisible

Download or read book Brushed by Cedar Living by the River written by Crisca Bierwert and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A brilliant, experimental ethnography, Brushed by Cedar is destined to change the way anthropologists write about the people they befriend. Crisca Bierwert has created a fresh poststructural ethnography that offers new insights into Coast Salish cultures. Arguing against the existence of a master narrative, she presents her understanding of these Native American peoples of Washington state and British Columbia, Canada, through poetic bricolage, offering the reader a pastiche of rich cultural images. Bierwert employs postmodern literary and social analyses to examine many aspects of Salish culture: legends and their storytellers; domestic violence; longhouse ceremonies; the importance and power of place; and disputes over fishing rights. Her reflections overlap as a dialogue would, weaving throughout the book significant threads of Salish knowledge and creating a nonauthoritative text that nonetheless speaks knowingly. This book represents the future of contemporary anthropology. Unlike traditional ethnography, it makes no attempt to portray a complete picture of the Coast Salish. Instead, Bierwert utilizes a critical and diffuse approach that defies colonial, syncretic, and hegemonic structures and applies advanced literary theory to the creation of ethnography. Brushed by Cedar is an important guideline for anyone who writes about other cultures and will be expecially useful to classes in the methodology and history of ethnography, as well as to scholars specializing in Native American studies or oral literatures.
