Book Synopsis Fragmented Blues by : Marcus Uganda White
Download or read book Fragmented Blues written by Marcus Uganda White and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-08-12 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragmented Blues merges poems affected by the influence of traditional southern writing along with worldly explorations across two decades. The author, being typecast as a romantic blues poet, has studied and infused the elements of poetry writing as was formed by the English Romantic Poets, the poets of the Beat Generation, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Black Arts Movement predominantly. In travels, the poet has met poets and peoples representing every nation of the globe, mostly. Becoming part of the underground art life scene through Jackson (Mississippi), Chicago, Ft. Pierce (Florida), D.C., Naples (Italy), the Middle East (Bahrain, Dubai, and Iraq), invigorated the movement of the poetry between variable tones and moods. The impressions of a simple day is Fragmented Blues; an exploration of true love, the remembrances of times before in youth, the details of troublesome moments in times of uncertainty, the coming of age poem by poem is Fragmented Blues.

Book excerpt: Aboard a long-range research vessel, in the vast reaches of the South Pacific, the cast and crew of the reality show Sealife believe they have found a ratings bonanza. For a director dying for drama, a distress call from Henders Island—a mere blip on any radar—might be just the ticket. Until the first scientist sets foot on Henders—and the ultimate test of survival begins. For when they reach the island’s shores, the scientists are utterly unprepared for what they find—creatures unlike any ever recorded in natural history. This is not a lost world frozen in time; this is Earth as it might have looked after evolving on a separate path for half a billion years—a fragment of a lost continent, with an ecosystem that could topple ours like a house of cards.

Download or read book Delta Fragments written by John O. Hodges and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2013-07-30 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The son of black sharecroppers, John Oliver Hodges attended segregated schools in Greenwood, Mississippi, in the 1950s and ’60s, worked in plantation cotton fields, and eventually left the region to earn multiple degrees and become a tenured university professor. Both poignant and thought provoking, Delta Fragments is Hodges’s autobiographical journey back to the land of his birth. Brimming with vivid memories of family life, childhood friendships, the quest for knowledge, and the often brutal injustices of the Jim Crow South, it also offers an insightful meditation on the present state of race relations in America. Hodges has structured the book as a series of brief but revealing vignettes grouped into two main sections. In part 1, “Learning,” he introduces us to the town of Greenwood and to his parents, sister, and myriad aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, and schoolmates. He tells stories of growing up on a plantation, dancing in smoky juke joints, playing sandlot football and baseball, journeying to the West Coast as a nineteen-year-old to meet the biological father he never knew while growing up, and leaving family and friends to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta. In part 2, “Reflecting,” he connects his firsthand experience with broader themes: the civil rights movement, Delta blues, black folkways, gambling in Mississippi, the vital role of religion in the African American community, and the perplexing problems of poverty, crime, and an underfunded educational system that still challenge black and white citizens of the Delta. Whether recalling the assassination of Medgar Evers (whom he knew personally), the dynamism of an African American church service, or the joys of reconnecting with old friends at a biennial class reunion, Hodges writes with a rare combination of humor, compassion, and—when describing the injustices that were all too frequently inflicted on him and his contemporaries—righteous anger. But his ultimate goal, he contends, is not to close doors but to open them: to inspire dialogue, to start a conversation, “to be provocative without being insistent or definitive.”
Book Synopsis A Fragmented History by : Gijs Willem Tol
Download or read book A Fragmented History written by Gijs Willem Tol and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2012 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents four methodological case studies that elaborate on the results of two field survey projects (the Astura and Nettuno surveys) that were carried out by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA). The case studies aim at investigating biasing factors that limit the analytical and comparative value of data from archaeological survey in general using these two projects as a suitable testing ground. Both surveys, carried out between 2003 and 2005, fell within the ambit of the Pontine Region Project (PRP), a long-term research program aimed at the diachronic archaeological investigation of the various landscape units forming this region. They covered two contiguous areas, situated on the Tyrrhenian seaboard, approximately 60 kilometres south of Rome. The study area comprises the communal area of the modern town of Nettuno, as well as the lower valleys of the Astura and Moscarello rivers (see fig. 0.1).2 As such it incorporates parts of the hinterland of the ancient towns of Antium and Satricum. In chronological terms this dissertation considers a time-span of 1300 years, from the 6th century BC to the 7th century AD.

Book Synopsis Breaking Through the Plate Glass Window--Prophetic Fragments by : Michael Granzen
Download or read book Breaking Through the Plate Glass Window--Prophetic Fragments written by Michael Granzen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a selection of writings on themes of trauma and transformation, hope and anguish, in a time of reckoning. The first section offers biographical fragments about life after the "bulldozer" runs you over. How do you get up? How do you live with others who don't understand? How do you keep walking? They draw upon life experiences in Boston, Iona, and New Jersey. Faith is not so much about agreeing with doctrine, but a dynamic, active, seeking, questioning, trust in God. It includes both audacity and humility. The second section draws upon fragments of historical reflection, "On Violent Innocence, Mourning, and Metanoia in New Jersey." This is an exploration of the principality of white racism, state-based violence, and exploitation of the poor. It asks the question: How did the Confederate flag get in the front window of the Presbyterian church on Lincoln's birthday? Some of the white terrorism that happened at the Capitol is prefigured here. Yet there is grace hidden in judgment. We cannot heal from what we do not name. The third section contains fragments of prophetic wisdom from Lorna Goodison, Richard Fenn, Mike Gecan, Karen Hernandez-Granzen, and Archange Antoine. Along with Traci West and Chris Hedges, their voices are strong and true.
Download or read book Fragments written by Bruce Berger and published by WordWorthyPress, LLC. This book was released on 2020-05-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Berger, the author, finally came home 50 years after the Vietnam war when his memories crystallized into the 34 poems in this chapbook. He shipped to Vietnam as an Infantryman in 1970 but was assigned most of the year to the Casualty Branch of the 101st Airborne Division at Camp Eagle, near Phu Bai. As “next-of-kin” editor, he wrote hundreds of sympathy letters to grieving families back home for loss of their soldier, and sometimes helped gather fallen brothers on battle grounds to begin their long journeys home. Through this lens, his poems evoke an overwhelming sense of loss on many fronts: the brave American soldiers who gave their lives in the long war; a village of South Vietnamese widows; the thousands of bui doi, innocent but reviled half-breed (Amerasian) children; the empty afterness of battle grounds and burials; the long, deadly reach of Agent Orange and PTSD into veterans’ lives still today; and the thunderous silence of missing parades back home. Writing these poems brought him home. Many of the poems are illustrated with artwork created by members of the Providence Art Club in Rhode Island. All earnings from this book will be donated to the Vietnam Veterans of America. Book Review 1: "This is war as never seen before; raw feelings of senseless loss as never recorded before; a glimpse into the heart of a compassionate soldier, amidst the brutality of Vietnam, as never expressed before. Emotion jumps from its pages and sticks. A mosaic of war’s stark realities, then and now, stays with you long after the words sink in. You may put the book down, but you cannot escape its message. Regardless of who you are, this book will move you. For the veteran, expect a return to the killing fields in snatches of memories and rumblings of long-suppressed fear, anger, guilt and loss. For families of those lost during the war comes an understanding your grief does not go unnoticed and your eternal emptiness is understood and respected. And, for the uninitiated, who think of war in terms of a brief sound bite on the evening news—this is a hard life lesson: A single gunshot in a nameless piece of jungle can claim a life in a second and change countless other lives, half-way around the world, forever. Lastly, this is a courageous, deeply personal, discussion of inner battles many of us face. To many veterans, living with the war for decades after returning is so hard and so easily misunderstood. This book takes a giant step towards that understanding and awareness. All veterans will be better because of it.” -- Rick St. John, author of the acclaimed Circle of Helmets and Tiger Bravo’s War, and a retired U.S. Army Colonel who led a company of 101st Airborne Division paratroopers in heavy fighting in Vietnam. Book Review 2: “Fires in some men, like fires deep in forest roots, can burn for decades. Fragments paints such a fire in the metaphor of a journey for those who flew home but not home after a long, bloody, bitter war in Vietnam that often did not end with a warrior’s return to American soil. Berger’s pieces are like fragmentary grenades and flashbangs, images and lines that catch in your throat, stop your breath, blind you with tears. Like the image of a gravedigger back home whose ‘heart leaks into the grave’ he digs for his brother … Or the poem ‘66 Miles,’ the distance you get when you place 58,220 dead head-to-toe, head-to-toe, ‘the length of a trip from Nogales to Tucson, or Trenton to the Big Apple.’ Think about that … and then they came home to no parades, only pockets of seething scorn. Years later they hear the meaningless koan, ‘Thank you for your service.’ Welcome home, my friend, welcome home.” -- Joseph Heywood, author of more than 20 books and perhaps best known for the Woods Cop Mystery Series. He served five years in the Air Force as a navigator, spending 15 months in the Vietnam theater Book Review 3: "This is an important book. In a collection of poems he calls ‘fragments,’ Bruce K. Berger gives us an incisively moving—often heartbreaking—record of the Vietnam war, which left permanent scars on the minds and bodies of those who served and suffered there, then endured what Berger calls ‘the long coming home.’ The poems are vivid, unsentimental, sharply evocative of the places and the people—combatants and noncombatants on both sides, victims of the war’s horrors both in country and back home. This is an important book. You need to read it. Insistent, unforgettable, its poems will frag your heart.” -- Arnold Johnston, author of Where We’re Going, Where We’ve Been and The Witching Voice: A Novel from the Life of Robert Burns.

Download or read book Sonata Fragments written by Andrew Davis and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An effort to expand sonata theory more solidly into the nineteenth-century repertoire.” —Notes In Sonata Fragments, Andrew Davis argues that the Romantic sonata is firmly rooted, both formally and expressively, in its Classical forebears, using Classical conventions in order to convey a broad constellation of Romantic aesthetic values. This claim runs contrary to conventional theories of the Romantic sonata that place this nineteenth-century musical form squarely outside inherited Classical sonata procedures. Building on Sonata Theory, Davis examines moments of fracture and fragmentation that disrupt the cohesive and linear temporality in piano sonatas by Chopin, Brahms, and Schumann. These disruptions in the sonata form are a narrative technique that signify temporal shifts during which we move from the outer action to the inner thoughts of a musical agent, or we move from the story as it unfolds to a flashback or flash-forward. Through an interpretation of Romantic sonatas as temporally multi-dimensional works in which portions of the music in any given piece can lie inside or outside of what Sonata Theory would define as the sonata-space proper, Davis reads into these ruptures a narrative of expressive features that mark these sonatas as uniquely Romantic. “A major achievement.” —Michael L. Klein, author of Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject
