Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Sycamore kicks mainstream literature in the teeth.”—The San Francisco Bay Guardian Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore's exhilarating novel is about struggling to find hope in the ruins of everyday San Francisco—battling roaches, Bikram Yoga, chronically bad sex, NPR, internet cruising, tweakers, the cops, $100 bills, chronic pain, the gay vote, vegan restaurants and incest, with the help of air-raid sirens, herbal medicine, late-night epiphanies, sea lions and sleeping pills. So Many Ways to Sleep Badly unveils a gender-bending queer world where nothing flows smoothly, except for those sudden moments when everything becomes lighter or brighter or easier to imagine. Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is the gender-bending author of the highly praised novel Pulling Taffy and the editor of the anthology Nobody Passes: Rejecting the Rules of Gender and Conformity. Sycamore writes regularly for a variety of publications, including Bitch, Utne Reader, AlterNet, Make/Shift and MaximumRocknRoll.
Book Synopsis Something's Coming! Universal Cities of Light, Love, and Healing! by : Genii Townsend
Download or read book Something's Coming! Universal Cities of Light, Love, and Healing! written by Genii Townsend and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-16 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Something's Coming..". and it's good news for a change! In an era when many are focused on end-of-the-world doom and gloom, along comes an exciting book to uplift humanity, reminding us that we are not alone and that help is already on the way. In Something's Coming author Genii Townsend, a trans-audio visionary, shares information kept secret for 25 years. Her "inner-vision journeys" began in 1982 when her husband, Rev. William Townsend, a Religious Science minister, brought forth drawings of Cities of Light while in meditation. After his passing, Genii Townsend continued where he left off and the city visits are now recorded in this book. No development on earth is more fascinating than the advent of the Cities of Light, and the discussion can be traced to the middle of the last century. What, exactly, is a City of Light? Much like Atlantis, it is a portal where the star brothers and sisters can come for exchange of cultural ideas, technology, art and healing. The book describes it as "the unfoldment of a very large universal plan. It is going beyond the universe to...an interdimensional portal of love where beings from everywhere can experience a community of love." The Cities of Light can be glimpsed with our physical eyes but are more apparent to our Third and Fourth Eyes. They are "crystal cities of the future, places of peace and harmony where love prevails." As real places in the higher dimensions, people can "anchor new realities and new dimensional realities within the 3rd dimension" as an expanded experience. They are also for advanced healing through light, sound and color-"examples of what can be done by using our technologies for the good of all." The book describes the purpose and plans for a City of Light in Sedona, Arizona-a prototype for 13 more cities to appear around the planet "any day now." Included are diagrams and descriptions of advanced technologies, prophecies, discussion of the need for spiritual awakening and enlightenment on earth, and details of the city's amazing features. Genii paints a picture for readers of what it's like to enter such a place after 100+ visits she has made within the City of Light. "Imagine entering a place of such beauty that it makes you an instant believer that anything is possible, like entering a 5-story-high gate that is encoded with your personal beliefs that makes you feel like you just came home. "Imagine experiencing healing techniques in light modules where no drugs, knives or needles can sever the body's electrical lines. Imagine a Memory Manor building where you can release past memory hurts with no emotion attached and a Fountain of Light that makes you feel physically and mentally great, and sitting on benches that massage the body. Imagine an Empowerment Emporium where you can balance your emotions and a "Birth-aterium" where babies are born laughing with the mother who had no anesthesia, no pain and the only crying is for the pure joy of the experience. And finally, imagine a stadium-size building called The Embassy of Peace Headquarters where "Light Beings gather to help bring forth peace on this earth." The Cities of Light function to heal us and raise our vibrations and consciousness. They are delightful places to be, they are places where peace reigns already. They exist in the Fifth Dimension and higher and are destined to play a large role in the transfer of learning and technology for us in the new Golden Age. Townsend writes: "Will it enhance peoples' lives? I think the common words will be 'OH MY GOD!' I ask you to hold the vision in your heart. Make no mistake, this planet will glow in love like never before." The stage is ready, the scenes inside these pages invite you to witness what is coming about, and this is your invitation, page by page, before the magic happens. Get your copy and get ready for the greatest show on earth. This book will show you how you can enter the city portals and change your reality forever.

Download or read book Under the Dome written by Jean Daive and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An arresting memoir of the final years and tragic suicide of one of twentieth-century Europe’s greatest poets, published on the centenary of his birth. "Daive's memoir sensitively conjures a portrait of a man tormented by both his mind and his medical treatment but who nonetheless remained a generous friend and a poet for whom writing was a matter of life and death."—The New Yorker "Jean Daive's memoir of his brief but intense spell as confidant and poetic confrère of Paul Celan offers us unique access to the mind and personality of one of the great poets of the dark twentieth century."—J.M. Coetzee Paul Celan (1920–1970) is considered one of Europe's greatest post-World-War II poets, known for his astonishing experiments in poetic form, expression, and address. Under the Dome is French poet Jean Daive's haunting memoir of his friendship with Celan, a precise yet elliptical account of their daily meetings, discussions, and walks through Paris, a routine that ended suddenly when Celan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Seine. Daive's grief at the loss of his friend finds expression in Under the Dome, where we are given an intimate insight into Celan's last years, at the height of his poetic powers, and as he approached the moment when he would succumb to the debilitating emotional pain of a Holocaust survivor. In Under the Dome, Jean Daive illuminates Celan's process of thinking about poetry, grappling with questions of where it comes from and what it does: invaluable insights about poetry's relation to history and ethics, and how poems offer pathways into a deeper grasp of our past and present. This new edition of Rosmarie Waldrop’s masterful translation includes an introduction by scholars Robert Kaufman and Philip Gerard, which provides critical, historical, and cultural context for Daive’s enigmatic, timeless text. "Under the Dome breathes with Celan while walking with Celan, walking in the dark and the light with Celan, invoking the stillness, the silence, of the breathturn while speaking for the deeply human necessity of poetry."—Michael Palmer, author of The Laughter of the Sphinx "The fragments textured together in this more-than-magnificent rendering of Jean Daive’s prose poem by this master of the word, Rosmarie Waldrop, grab on and leave us haunted and speechless."—Mary Ann Caws, author of Creative Gatherings: Meeting Places of Modernism and editor of the Yale Anthology of Twentieth Century French Poetry "Rosmarie Waldrop's brilliant translation resonates with her profound knowledge of both Celan's and Daive's poetry and the passion for language that she shares with them. The text brings these three major poets together in a highly unusual and wholly successful collaboration."—Cole Swensen, author of On Walking On "Rosmarie Waldrop takes up Celan’s question to Jean Daive as her own. I cannot unread her inimitable ease in these pages. This is a book that contends with time."—Fady Joudah, author of Footnotes in the Order of Disappearance "Daive's writing is a highly punctuated recollection, a memoir, perhaps a testimony, but also surely a way of attending to the time of the writing, the conditions and coordinates of Celan's various enunciations, his linguistic humility. … Celan’s death, what Daive calls 'really unforeseeable,' remains as an 'undercurrent' in the conversations recollected here, gathered up again, with an insistence and clarity of true mourning and acknowledgement."—Judith Butler, author of The Force of Nonviolence
Download or read book Death In Troy written by Bilge Karasu and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mushfik is a young man growing up in Turkey, first in Sarikum, a small coastal village, and later in urban Istanbul. He comes of age in an atmosphere of sublimated, disoriented eroticism, his impulses restrained by religious and sexual taboos, rigid gender roles, stifling maternal love, and the enforced silences of social decorum. Unable to adapt easily to society's unspoken rules, he is driven to the point of insanity from which he must slowly and painfully return. Told from several points of view and structured in a series of intersecting flashbacks and interior monologues, Death in Troy describes the difficult geography of male intimacy from multiple perspectives-adolescent friendship, homosexual desire, mother-son bonds, and the relationships between men and women. In a complex chorus of styles and voices, Karasu evokes states of exaltation, humiliation, passion, and despair to create a jarring disharmony of one boy's growth into manhood. "[Karasu's] refusal to be bound by the formal constraints of "The Novel" is meant to reflect his characters' refusal to be bound by the moral constraints of society as they confront their sexualities in a country that, though secular in government, is still largely Muslim in culture." --East Bay Express "Death in Troy is a teeming, elliptical examination of repressed homosexuality by popular Turkish writer Bilge Karasu...Sin, madness and guilt are all balanced by flashes of beautiful imagery and poetic language." --Publishers Weekly Bilge Karasu (1930-1995) was born in Istanbul. Often referred to as "the sage of Turkish literature," during his lifetime he published collections of stories, novels, and two books of essays. Karasu is an influential reference point in the progress of Turkish fiction writing. A perfectionist, a philosopher, and a master of literary arts, he left behind a body of work, which, although intricately woven and at times obscure, skillfully outlines a world unmatched in its crystal clear transparency. Karasu's novel, Night, was published in English translation by Louisiana State University Press in 1994 and was awarded the Pegasus Prize for Literature. Death In Troy is the second of his works translated in English and was published by City Lights in 2002. Karasu's The Garden of Departed Cats, was published by New Directions in 2004. In 2012, City Lights once again published another one of his novels A Long Day's Evening which was shortlisted for 2013 PEN Award for Translation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Neither she nor her parents understand how she has developed this gift -- or is it a curse? -- to influence the environment around her. One man helps Katie understand what's happening to her. Dr. Schlisselvasser, an anthropologist with expertise in indigenous cultures and their mystics, studies children with unusual abilities.

To complicate matters, there seems to be a greater reason for the sudden appearance of Katie's gift. She is tapped on the shoulder by ancient spirits deep beneath the mountains of Arizona to take on evil villains who will stop at nothing to create an orchestrated environmental disaster for profit and greed.

In this debut novel, David Jacobs spins a supernatural and suspenseful tale intertwining one girl's coming of age and the age-old battle of good versus evil.
