Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Generally speaking, my collections 'circle' around something, providing me with a wide berth for treatment. So with the exception of the few things of which I have more certainty, as in my collections A Sense of The Ridiculous' or I Is Always You Is Me.--certainties which don't need a prefix verb, the subject of woman demands circling around it. 'Woman' means half the planetary population. I would hope to reach all ages but I suspect that this particular collection will speak most to the mature woman, the woman who has begun to notice her aging processes." As in To The Child Mystic (Authorhouse), Circling Round Woman is an unintentional memoir-cum-instruction book in poetic form: sharply observational, pragmatic, personal; nonchalantly, funnily and unscientifically scientific. Women friends of the author have commented that some of the poems have changed their lives, they being able to identify themselves with the theme. "When you can identify with a thing, you feel its universality and you feel accepted", say Ms Corwin. Circling Round Woman is concrete; easy reading, deep reading; philosophical and playful all at once. Circling Round Woman makes you laugh, cry and remember. It reminds you of who you are and what you are becoming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2010, Arlene Corwin has published twelve books of poetry hefty, 200 pagers all. She is a prolific writer, going from the sublime to the ridiculous, scribbling phantasmagorical ideas and working them until they have the rhythm, rhyme and development that satisfies her. When asked, she says she has no plan, aim or scheme to help her. A jazz musician and longtime yogini, she puts the thought to into free-flow, which then evolves of its own accord. Improvisation she trusts the improvisatory.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard McKeon was a philosopher of extraordinary creativity who brought profoundly original ideas to bear on more standard ways of thinking and learning. A classicist, medievalist, and revolutionary intellectual, he fashioned an approach to philosophy as a plural conversation among varied traditions of thought, epochs, and civilizations. This second volume of McKeon's selected works demonstrates his approach to inquiry and practice in culture, education, and the arts. Together, the writings in this book show how McKeon reinvented the ancient arts of rhetoric, grammar, logic, and dialectic for the new circumstances of a global culture. In essays on creation and criticism, for instance, rhetoric is distinguished from grammar and shown to be the master art of invention, judgment, and pluralistic interpretation. Writings on themes of culture, meanwhile, explore the self-invention of mankind as justification for the arts, the development of the humanities, and the organization of the sciences. In the closing essays on education and philosophy, McKeon considers the implications of his ideas for the future of the liberal arts and higher learning.

Book excerpt: Arlene Corwin believes in God – calls herself ‘God centered’. What does that mean? A first cause embodying all realities: reality in a nutshell in which all opposites resolve, God – one energy, conscious, streaming light, ending in light, soundless, without gender, absolute (all else being relative). It is ‘the only quest worth the thinking about’, the devoting to’. God doesn’t do. God doesn’t have to. Still, there’s doing done; endless forming, endless creating, for which there is nature. God Book is a collection of reflections, analyses, insights, small revelations. Ms Corwin: “God Book is written about the most mesmerizing, engrossing non-thing ever: the many aspects of a subject irresistible and endlessly interesting.” Arlene Corwin was born in Brooklyn, New York, November 8, 1934. A graduate of New York’s High School of Music & Art and Hofstra University, she is a professional jazz singer/pianist and author of 12 previous books. Her writing desk looks out on deer, lingon- and blueberry bushes, pine, fir, birch and one struggling oak. The living room is meters from the lake Stora Härsjön (pronounced hairsheun); the kitchen sees feeding birds, forest mice, squirrels, an old stone wall, boulders in the garden left there when the Ice Age retreated 10.000 years ago and, to make the wild civilized, flowers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birth, Death & InBetween came to Ms Corwin as a title when friends began to die. Her generation was ‘starting to go’. “A collection comes about at a turning point; one is grieved, one wonders at the disappearance, the invisibility, the untimeliness, what was before, what may come after. No longer a matter of death and dying, but of birth, death and the in between. The speechlessness turns into a need to speak. You don’t put together a collection of poetry overnight. There is no arbitrary subject. There are threads. A collection is a matter of emphasis, accentuation and priority. One’s generation begins to go; the whole of the sidewalk full of people coming at you will be gone in a hundred years, not a person coming at you left. If that is not a source of wonderment, what is?” Birth, Death & InBetween is a collection of 300 some odd poems written over a period of 40 years observing, examining, questioning, accepting the plain facts and the elusive nuances.

Book excerpt: We live in troubled times, in a dangerous and destabilized world that has coarsened our sensibilities and constrained our capacities for goodness. The world presents a baffling conundrum. It questions the history of peoples, places, and cultures to create wedges between faiths. Despite its detractors, religion remains firmly embedded in our universal consciousness. Those who do not subscribe to any organized religion also now see scriptures as candlelights in their personal and professional lives. The philosophical outlook also underpins attitudes in corporations. The coronavirus put us through long spells of isolation and mental distress. Loneliness is the nightmare of the social animal. It is a taboo state in our social world. The need for connection is so central to our being that to experience its lack plunges the body into a state of a minor emergency. The short essays in this book are a compilation of spiritual columns the author wrote for the Asian Age. The pandemic ennobled these pithy ideas into a profound philosophy. The author hopes they will resonate with the readers because they represent the sentiments of most of us who experienced several behavioural challenges during this crisis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inside look at the politics of book reviewing, from the assignment and writing of reviews to why critics think we should listen to what they have to say Taking readers behind the scenes in the world of fiction reviewing, Inside the Critics’ Circle explores the ways critics evaluate books despite the inherent subjectivity involved and the uncertainties of reviewing when seemingly anyone can be a reviewer. Drawing on interviews with critics from such venues as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Washington Post, Phillipa Chong delves into the complexities of the review-writing process, including the considerations, values, and cultural and personal anxieties that shape what critics do. Chong explores how critics are paired with review assignments, why they accept these time-consuming projects, how they view their own qualifications for reviewing certain books, and the criteria they employ when making literary judgments. She discovers that while their readers are of concern to reviewers, they are especially worried about authors on the receiving end of reviews. As these are most likely peers who will be returning similar favors in the future, critics’ fears and frustrations factor into their willingness or reluctance to write negative reviews. At a time when traditional review opportunities are dwindling while other forms of reviewing thrive, book reviewing as a professional practice is being brought into question. Inside the Critics’ Circle offers readers a revealing look into critics’ responses to these massive transitions and how, through their efforts, literary values get made.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the literary circle is widely recognized as a significant feature of Renaissance literary culture, it has received remarkably little examination. In this collection of essays, the authors attempt to explain literary circles and cultural communities in Renaissance England by exploring both actual and imaginary ways in which they were conceived and the various needs they fulfilled. The book also pays considerable attention to larger theoretical issues relating to literary circles. The essayists raise important questions about the extent to which literary circles were actual constructs or fictional creations. Whether illuminating or limiting, the circle metaphor itself can be extended or reformulated. Some of the authors discuss how particular circles actually operated, and some question the very concept of the literary circle. Literary Circles and Cultural Communities in Renaissance England will be an important addition to seventeenth-century studies.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They allow for a painstaking analysis of the political and "aesthetic" priorities of a developing Stalinist culture while raising intriguing questions about the early stages of the Cold War and the subsequent division of Germany. In particular, the gradual introduction of Zhdanovist or socialist-realist political norms and aesthetic forms into Soviet-occupied Germany closely paralleled developments in the Soviet Union during the infamous zhdanovshchina (1946-1948). Smear campaigns against "formalism," "decadence," and "cosmopolitanism," carefully tailored to local circumstances, were the natural consequence. Simultaneously, the German Communists worked behind the scenes with the Soviet occupation regime to establish the administrative apparatus for the enforcement of these standards, imported from the Soviet Union and calculated to infuse German art and literature with the proper political priorities.

Book excerpt: The original small-press edition of Calling the Circle has become one of the key resources for the rapidly-growing "circle" movement. This newly revised edition brings Christina Baldwin's groundbreaking work to an even broader audience ranging from women's spirituality groups to corporate development teams. 50,000 years ago, women and men gathered around campfires to decide the key issues in their lives. Today, groups everywhere are discovering a new form of this ancient ritual for communication, mutual support, teamwork, and social change. Now, in a book as consciousness-changing as Riane Eisler's The Chalice and the Blade or Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, Christina Baldwin offers this powerful new tool to everyone who longs for a community based on honesty, equality, and spiritual integrity. In this simple, profound practice, participants sit in a circle, pass a talking piece from person to person, and speak and listen from the heart. Christina Baldwin gives detailed instructions and suggestions for getting started, setting goals, and solving disagreements safely and respectfully. She also offers inspiring examples of circles in action: a women's spirituality group, a father and son in crisis, a PTA group that averts a school strike and a work project team that accesses a new level of creativity and caring.
