Download or read book Vanity Pains written by Brinda Rao-Pothuraju and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scott Haas: These poems show talent and vigor. Both through observation of political occurrences as well as by introspection, Brinda Rao-Pothuraju pairs idealism with deft use of language. And more than youthful passion and vitality, she demonstrates an inchoate sense of belonging—her restless intellect demonstrates her accurate sense that what she sees and hears require her involvement as an observer who can tell others what she senses. This is a lovely collection of poems. Scott Haas is a writer and clinical psychologist based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. He is the author of “Hearing Voices: Reflections of a Psychology Intern” (Dutton), “Are We There Yet?” (Plume), “Back of the House” (Berkley/Penguin), and “Those Immigrants!” (Fingerprint!/Prakesh). He is the co-author of “Da Silvano” (Bloomsbury). He won a James Beard award for his on-air broadcasts on “Here and Now,” a nationally syndicated show National Public Radio. . Jennifer Darger: Brinda is a gifted writer and a profound thinker. Her choice of words paints a vivid image of emotion and place. Her verses help her readers to view life with more sensitive eyes. “His shoes were nets, catching ambition.” She brings her reader not just to her profound observations but awakens a sense of discovery that exposes untapped wisdom. Reading Brinda’s writings inspired in me a desire to be a more observant sojourner. As Brinda writes of one of her subjects, she, too, is able to “gargle words and spit out art.” Jennifer practices tort law in New York City and is President of the Board of Education, Edgemont Free Union School District in Scarsdale NY
Download or read book The Big Hurt written by Erika Schickel and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This complex memoir shows what it was like growing up in the shadow of a literary father and a neglectful mother, getting thrown out of boarding school after being seduced by a teacher, and all of the later-life consequences that ensue. In 1982, Erika Schickel was expelled from her East Coast prep school for sleeping with a teacher. She was that girl—rebellious, precocious, and macking for love. Seduced, caught, and then whisked away in the night to avoid scandal, Schickel’s provocative, searing, and darkly funny memoir, The Big Hurt, explores the question, How did that girl turn out? Schickel came of age in the 1970s, the progeny of two writers: Richard Schickel, the prominent film critic for TIME magazine, and Julia Whedon, a melancholy mid-list novelist. In the wake of her parents’ ugly divorce, Erika was packed off to a bohemian boarding school in the Berkshires. The Big Hurt tells two coming-of-age stories: one of a lost girl in a predatory world, and the other of that girl grown up, who in reckoning with her past ends up recreating it with a notorious LA crime novelist, blowing up her marriage and casting herself into the second exile of her life. The Big Hurt looks at a legacy of shame handed down through a maternal bloodline and the cost of epigenetic trauma. It shines a light on the haute culture of 1970s Manhattan that made girls grow up too fast. It looks at the long shadow cast by great, monstrously self-absorbed literary lives and the ways in which women pin themselves like beautiful butterflies to the spreading board of male ego.

Download or read book Trains Jesus and Murder written by Richard Beck and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Saints and sinners, all jumbled up together." That's the genius of Johnny Cash, and that's what the gospel is ultimately all about. Johnny Cash sang about and for people on the margins. He famously played concerts in prisons, where he sang both murder ballads and gospel tunes in the same set. It's this juxtaposition between light and dark, writes Richard Beck, that makes Cash one of the most authentic theologians in memory. In Trains, Jesus, and Murder, Beck explores the theology of Johnny Cash by investigating a dozen of Cash's songs. In reflecting on Cash's lyrics, and the passion with which he sang them, we gain a deeper understanding of the enduring faith of the Man in Black.

Download or read book Vedic Philosophy of the Kali Yuga written by Henry Romano and published by DTTV PUBLICATIONS. This book was released on with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Vedic philosophy, there are four eras in every world cycle. They represent a gradual decline from enlightenment (Satya Yuga) to chaos and ignorance (Kali Yuga) before it starts again. Each of these eras lasts roughly 2160 years. You're probably familiar with the four ages of Hindu philosophy: Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. The golden age is when pure knowledge is widespread, and people live in harmony. The dark age is when everything goes wrong—the World falls into chaos, and humanity descends into ignorance. But what happens next? What is the meaning of "the end of the world"? There are many ways to interpret this question—which makes it so interesting! We're living in the Kali Yuga right now - the era of chaos and disorder. This means our society is falling apart, but we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our personal roles in society. The Kali Yuga is the present age of man. We are in the age of darkness, ignorance, and chaos. The Kali Yuga was prophesied to be when humanity would live without spiritual knowledge or enlightenment. It's an era of materialism, greed, and violence (including war). But we can bring back the Golden Age by understanding our own personal role in society and doing what we can to restore order to our World today. The Golden Age is when humans live in harmony with nature. It's also known as Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga, or Utopian Age because everything works as it should be working - there are no problems or challenges that need fixing because everything works perfectly well already... In the Golden Age, humans live in harmony with nature. It's also known as Satya Yuga or Krita Yuga, or Utopian Age because everything works as it should be working - there are no problems or challenges that need fixing because everything works perfectly well already... Satya Yuga is the name people give to this period. This era was said to last for more than 4,000 years in Hindu mythology.

Download or read book Pain written by Thomas D. Ackerman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pain tells the story of personal experience with severe depression and of redemption from that suffering, alongside a biblical explanation of the meaning of pain. It explores what the book of Job, the gospel of Jesus, and the life of the church tell us about why pain exists, and finally provides the solution of our loving Father: in the sacrifice at the cross, our sanctification, and the kingdom of God. It is a book of hope, seeing God’s kingdom existing with us now—a kingdom that has already radically changed the world, will grow, and will win in the end. This is interwoven with the author’s personal experience, his coming to faith, and his growth as a new believer, and ends with the purpose he sees for many years of pain in his life, as the book ends with God revealing his purpose for everyone. Each section is abundant with Scripture to explain Christian theological truths, ones that are challenging, but demand a humble acceptance of God’s rule over creation.
