Book Synopsis At Sunset, Facing East: A Memoir in Poetry by : Bill Jones
Download or read book At Sunset, Facing East: A Memoir in Poetry written by Bill Jones and published by Loyola College/Apprentice House. This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Jones's nearly 65 years on Earth have filled the man with wonder. He's heard the voices of family through five generations, the young magically echoing the old. He's witnessed the world of anthrax and America's cities set on fire, seen the impossible become all too possible. In the US, Mexico, Colombia, and Jamaica, he's traveled roads not often taken. He's been haunted by dreams which spoke the truth and gave him new direction. For him, life burns brightest in the scenes he can't forget. Such scenes are his clear focus in At Sunset, Facing East. "At Sunset, Facing East is an absorbing journey through one man's life-its humor, its wonder, its despair and its dreams. Turning the pages, you feel the light coming and going, the sudden appearance of shadows, the darkness making quiet entrance. This is a poet who believes that life itself is the great poem one is writing, and the book dazzles with its rigorous and passionate contemplation of what it means to be alive." -Kendra Kopelke, Poet, Editor of Passager and author of Eager Street and Hopper's Women

Download or read book I Love a Broad Margin to My Life written by Maxine Hong Kingston and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her singular voice—both humble and brave, touching and humorous—Maxine Hong Kingston gives us a poignant and beautiful memoir-in-verse that captures the wisdom that comes with age. As she reflects on her sixty-five years, she circles from present to past and back, from lunch with a writer friend to the funeral of a Vietnam veteran, from her long marriage to her arrest at a peace march in Washington. On her journeys as writer, peace activist, teacher, and mother, she revisits her most beloved characters—Wittman Ah-Sing, the Tripmaster Monkey, and Fa Mook Lan, the Woman Warrior—and presents us with a beautiful meditation on China then and now. The result is a marvelous account of an American life of great purpose and joy, and the tonic wisdom of a writer we have come to cherish.
