Book excerpt: Blooming in the Whirlwind, Finding God in a Busy Life by Judy Esway."These words on a card I saw recently express it so well. This is the urgency. Live! And have your blooming in the noise of the whirlwind. The whirlwind...my life. I learned a secret years ago. Whirlwinds can't kill. They're just a bunch of hot air. They come and go and usually just blow themselves out. It is possible to be calm, to grow, to develop, and to be transformed in spite of the stormy weather that often typifies my life. If, that is, I pray. I have to pray...every day." So begins Judy Esway's book of conversational prayers.These brief meditations, based on Scripture, are about the everyday stuff of life that everyone knows about: worrying too much, dealing with stress and anger, rejoicing in the birth of a grandchild, or finding consolation after the death of a loved one. God is her friend, and she hides none of her moods in prayer. But the point is that she prays no matter what kind of mood she is in.She writes, "Really, it's about a love affair - my love affair with God. You may see yourself from time to time as you read, for are there any of us who are very different, deep down inside? We all want to be loved. And the surprising, astonishing truth is...we are!"

Book excerpt: This was the Pulitzer Prize-winner's first new collection of poetry after a gap of nearly ten years. "I was to be a Watchful Eye; a Tuned Ear; a Super-reporter," Brooks said. "I began writing about whatever I thought I knew, whatever I experienced." What she knew and experienced in those years resulted in poetry charged with a new power and urgency. The book takes its title from a long narrative poem set in a huge decayed apartment house in Chicago's black ghetto, a building called the Mecca. A tragedy in the Mecca gives rise to Brooks' extraordinary poetic evocation of its dense personal miseries and sense of life. Nine shorter poems follow, and these too, in large part, have their source in contemporary figures and circumstances: Medgar Evers and Malcolm X, "the Blackstone Rangers gang," the astonishing prideful mural painted on a ghetto wall one summer. The universality that transcends the immediate event, and is the mark of poetic sensibility, distinguishes all the poetry here. Gwendolyn Brooks' stature as a poet who "induces almost unbearable excitement"--As Phyllis McGinley described her--is here enriched by the new dimensions her work encompasses.--Adapted from book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the major American poets of this century and the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry (1950). Yet far less critical attention has focused on her work than on that of her peers. In this comprehensive biocritical study, Melhem -- herself a poet and critic -- traces the development of Brooks's poetry over four decades, from such early works as A Street in Bronzeville, Annie Allen, and The Bean Eaters, to the more recent In the Mecca, Riot, and To Disembark. In addition to analyzing the poetic devices used, Melhem examines the biographical, historical, and literary contexts of Brooks's poetry: her upbringing and education, her political involvement in the struggle for civil rights, her efforts on behalf of young black poets, her role as a teacher, and her influence on black letters. Among the many sources examined are such revealing documents as Brooks's correspondence with her editor of twenty years and with other writers and critics. From Melhem's illuminating study emerges a picture of the poet as prophet. Brooks's work, she shows, is consciously charged with the quest for emancipation and leadership, for black unity and pride. At the same time, Brooks is seen as one of the preeminent American poets of this century, influencing both African American letters and American literature generally. This important book is an indispensable guide to the work of a consummate poet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In recounting the rich narratives of key biblical figures - from Adam and Eve to Noah, Cain, Abraham, Moses, Job, and Jesus - In the Whirlwind paints a surprising picture of the ambivalent, mutually dependent relationship between God and his peoples. Taking the Hebrew and Christian Bibles as a unified whole, Burt traces God's relationship with humanity as it evolves from complete harmony at the outset to continual struggle. In almost every case, God insists on unconditional obedience, while humanity withholds submission and holds God accountable for his promises.

Book excerpt: How can educators improve the literacy skills of students in historically underachieving urban high schools? In this timely book, the author offers a theoretical framework for the design of instruction that is both culturally responsive and subject-matter specific, rooted in examples of the implementation of the Cultural Modeling Project. Presented here, the Cultural Modeling Project draws on competencies students already have in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) discourse and hip-hop culture to tackle complex problems in the study of literature. Using vivid descriptions from real classrooms, the author describes how AAVE supported student learning and reasoning; how students in turn responded to the reform initiative; and how teachers adapted the cultural framework to the English/language arts curriculum. While the focus is on literacy and African American students, the book examines the functions of culture in facilitating learning and offers principles for leveraging cultural knowledge in support of subject matter specific to academic learning. This much-awaited book offers important lessons for researchers, school district leaders, and local practitioners regarding the complex ways that cultural knowledge is constructed and plays out in classroom life, in the life of a school, and in the life of a whole-school reform initiative.

Book excerpt: The Poetics of Enclosure provocatively explores interconnections between Dickinson, Moore, H.D., Brooks, Bishop, and Dove in the dual context of their manipulations of the traditional lyric and use of shared images of enclosure ... With frequent reference to male as well as female influences and to poets marginalized by sexuality or race, Wheeler usefully refines what she argues is particular to these poets' shared lyric practices and concerns, and links those concerns to other poetic traditions. --Christianne Miller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a career that is blossoming, Tamika Reynolds is one of many young American writers celebrating her first published book. Now, she presents a genre of poems on life, love, family and so much more. For her, writing has become something that she truly has a passion for. She wants to share her story with others on how she overcame some of her difficult life experiences. For her most inspiring, motivational poem, Tamika expresses the life of a young girl who endured so much pain but overcame all those hardships and became a success. She does this in two parts. "Doors," tells how the young girl finally received the one thing she wanted most in life, and how she finally was able to move past the discouragement and move forward with her life. "Recovery," shares how this now young woman has accomplished so much in her life after enduring so many hard struggles. This two part poem is a must read for anyone that is going through difficult times in life and is ready to give up. The main message drawn from the poems is don't let what people do to you affect your life. Put your faith and trust in God as this young girl did and God will give you a blessed life and help you get through all those struggles and tough times in your life. In "Love is Finally Here," after so many bad relationships, cheating men, this young woman has finally found her true soul mate, her perfect man. This man she has been waiting for all her life, the one she let God choose for her, the one who will soon be her husband. The first of its kind, Tamika has established herself as a writer who can passionately motivate and inspire through her writing. Each category reflects the changes she has endured as a young, black woman, mother, companion, friend, business owner, and poet. Indulging, bold and sexy A Whirlwind Life: Genres of Poetry will once again establish Tamika Reynolds as one of the nation's upcoming and remarkable poets.

Book excerpt: We’ve all seen red roses, blue irises, and yellow daffodils. But when we really look closely at a flower, whole new worlds of beauty and intricacy emerge. Using a unique process that far surpasses conventional macro photography, Robert Llewellyn shows us details that few of us have ever seen: the amazing architecture of stamens and pistils; the subtle shadings on a petal; the secret recesses of nectar tubes. Complementing Llewellyn’s stunning photographs are Teri Dunn Chace’s lyrical, illuminating essays. By highlighting the features that distinguish twenty-eight of the most common families of flowering plants, Chace gives us fascinating insights into the natural history of flowers, such as the relationship between pollinators and floral form and color. At the same time she gives us a deeper appreciation of why and how flowers have become so deeply embedded in human culture. Whether you’re a nature lover, a gardener, a photography buff, or someone who simply responds to the timeless beauty and variety of the floral world, Seeing Flowers will be a source of enduring delight.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Gwendolyn Brooks, a self-proclaimed nonreligious person, advocates adherence to Christian ideals through religious allusions in her poetry. The discussion integrates Brooks' words, biographical data, commentary by other scholars, scriptural references, and doctrinal tenets. It identifies biblical figures and events and highlights Brooks' effective use of the sermon genre, and her express parallels between Christianity and Democracy. The work opens with a biographical chapter and Brooks' comments on religion, followed by analyses of her long poems, and more than thirty of her short ones. An illuminating interview with Nora Brooks Blakely about Brooks' religious background and philosophy is included.
