Download or read book Earthly Freight written by Lindsay Knowlton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Earthly Freight is a beautiful and brave collection of poetry, abounding with rich life experience carefully considered. In the tradition of Yeats and Frost, Lindsay Knowlton uses images from the natural world of manatees and waxwings and oxen and owls to reveal profound truths about human events and relationships, from the untimely death of a beloved brother to a difficult father to loves failed and blessed. With Earthly Freight, Knowlton shows us how, by paying close attention, we can enrich and validate our own lives and loves. This is a marvelous book." -Howard Frank Mosher, novelist Disappearances, Where the River Flows North "There's certainly something to be said for the notion that poetry is-or can be-a kind of mathematics, with subject elements factored in rather than out. What you get is not computable, but not arguable either. Take these lines from Knowlton's "Central Park", touching on the simultaneous advents of spring and a brother's fatal cancer: "...I saw that facts/were chaff, /that in perishing's lone distillery/exactitude drifts/like a petal..." They may not prove anything, but they are balancing life and death. That's a pretty powerful equation. And there are fifty-three more Knowlton poems in this truly impressive collection." -Peter Kane Dufault, poet Looking in All Directions, Selected Poems 1954-2000, To Be in the Same World, 2007, 1996 Norton Anthology

Download or read book Julian Scott written by Robert J. Titterton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of Julian Scott (1846ndash;1901) is admired by historians and critics alike for its authenticity and for his attention to detail. His paintings and drawings came directly from his own experiences; he was a Civil War hero whose earliest recorded actions include the saving of nine soldiers and the capture of a Confederate officer, for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. He also took part in the Indian census of 1890 and witnessed firsthand the demise of the old, Native American, West. This first-ever biography of Scott focuses on how his experiences were reflected in his art, from the oil paintings of Civil War soldiers in the field to pencil sketches of Native Americans. There are almost 100 reproductions, some in color.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • A radiant collection of letters from the renowned author of Invisible Man that traces the life and mind of a giant of American literature, with insights into the riddle of identity, the writer’s craft, and the story of a changing nation over six decades These extensive and revealing letters span the life of Ralph Ellison and provide a remarkable window into the great writer’s life and work, his friendships, rivalries, anxieties, and all the questions about identity, art, and the American soul that bedeviled and inspired him until his death. They include early notes to his mother, written as an impoverished college student; lively exchanges with the most distinguished American writers and thinkers of his time, from Romare Bearden to Saul Bellow; and letters to friends and family from his hometown of Oklahoma City, whose influence would always be paramount. These letters are beautifully rendered first-person accounts of Ellison’s life and work and his observations of a changing world, showing his metamorphosis from a wide-eyed student into a towering public intellectual who confronted and articulated America’s complexities.

Download or read book Vermont for the Vermonters written by Mercedes de Guardiola and published by Stylus Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugenics is a pseudo- scientific field of selective human breeding that rose to prominence in the early 1900s and was the foundation of Nazi Germany. Vermont was one of many American states to adopt eugenics as the basis for public policies such as family separation, institutionalization, and sterilization that targeted the most vulnerable Vermonters and led to widespread intergenerational damage. In 2021, the state formally apologized for the practice, and the legislature is exploring ongoing responses. "Vermont for the Vermonters" is the result of years of research and new scholarship into the story of the eugenics movement in the state. Examining developments from poor farms to mental institutions and public campaigns under Governor Mead and University of Vermont professor Henry Perkins, Mercedes de Guardiola demonstrates the underlying social and political landscape that helped pave the way for strong support of Vermont’s eugenics policies, determined how they were implemented and carried out, and resulted in a devastating cost for Vermonters. She regrounds Vermont’s actions and policies in the larger context of the state and the nation’s public policies, allowing us to better understand the motivations and long-range consequences of the movement.
