Download or read book The Wheel written by Jordan Jones and published by Leaping Dog Press/Asylum. This book was released on 2005 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. THE WHEEL is a survey of the turning circles and cycles of religion, history, politics, myth, nature, and culture, from Stonehenge to the war in Iraq, from tree rings to the "circular edge of the urban" separating the wild from the sanitized suburban world that remains firmly in the natural world, no matter what humans think. The poems are provocative, political, humane, and funny. "This is one sweet book. Jordan Jones writes with such a pure voice, offering up all the matters of life that he cares deeply about and the universe requires that we all care about. Very lovely refreshing true poems; it's a book to believe in"--Sandra McPherson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The erotic, surreal, and provocative stories of Last Night of Carnival, comprise an exile aesthetic, where the speaker is exiled from his homeland, from the stale middleclass values of his parents, and from dead pieties of previous generations that have become ossified in the culture. Romero creates a world as fantastic as any created by Kafka, Borges, or Calvino.
Book Synopsis The Ecopoetry Anthology by : Ann Fisher-Wirth
Download or read book The Ecopoetry Anthology written by Ann Fisher-Wirth and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Definitive and daring, The Ecopoetry Anthology is the authoritative collection of contemporary American poetry about nature and the environment--in all its glory and challenge. From praise to lament, the work covers the range of human response to an increasingly complex and often disturbing natural world and inquires of our human place in a vastness beyond the human. To establish the antecedents of today's writing,The Ecopoetry Anthology presents a historical section that includes poetry written from roughly the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. Iconic American poets like Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are followed by more modern poets like Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Ezra Pound, and even more recent foundational work by poets like Theodore Roethke, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Hayden, and Muriel Rukeyser. With subtle discernment, the editors portray our country's rich heritage and dramatic range of writing about the natural world around us.

Download or read book Rumi's Mathnavi written by Joe Martin and published by Leaping Dog Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drama. In conjunction with UNESCO's designation of 2007 as the Year of Rumi, the Asylum Arts imprint of Leaping Dog Press has released Joe Martin's (Yousef Daoud's) stage adaptation of Rumi's Mathnavi. For ten years, Rumi has been the best selling poet in America. But until now, most English speakers have found it almost impossible to get a sense of the world of his greatest work, the Mathnavi. This Asylum Arts edition of Joe Martin's dramatic adaptation aims to provide that opportunity. This edition will give a wide audience an authentic taste of Rumi's six-volume work, in a reader's edition, accompanied by photographs from the 2005 production of the play.

Book excerpt: Green Leaves: Selected & New Poems collects work from Eric Paul Shaffer's seven volumes and thirty-five years of publication. On voyages around the Pacific Rim, from California to Okinawa to Hawai'i, Shaffer's sharp eye for natural and human detail delights and illuminates. A charter member of the "Clear Pool School," Shaffer writes direct, profound, and often funny poems celebrating the American vernacular and encouraging a broader sense of the human, humane, ecological, and planetary. Lāhaina Noon Today, I'm a shadowless man. The sun calls me into the street, and I walk alone into the light of noon. The moment has come. I stand quietly on Front Street balancing the sun on my head. My shadow crawls in my ear to hide in the small, dark world of my skull. The sun illuminates the shadow in my skin, and I shine like a second moon, reflecting all the light I cannot contain.
Book Synopsis Revagations: 1966-1974 by : Eric Basso
Download or read book Revagations: 1966-1974 written by Eric Basso and published by Leaping Dog Press/Asylum. This book was released on 2006 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Writing. Biography and memoir. Eric Basso began to record his dreams in 1966, at the age of nineteen. REVAGATIONS is the first of three projected volumes. In these pages, we dicover an unconscious life laid bare in a myriad of bizarre adventures and intrigues. Whether he's dancing with Ginger Rogers, buying secondhand books from Adolf Hitler or narrating the strange history of the mutant Bazillia, Basso's imagery is always vivid, direct, sometimes poetic, at other time hilariously funny and, more often than not, brazenly politically incorrect. The first volume is preceded by Basso's diverting survey of the role played by dreams in art, literature, music and sciences.

Book Synopsis Unwritten Literature of Hawaii by : Nathaniel Bright Emerson
Download or read book Unwritten Literature of Hawaii written by Nathaniel Bright Emerson and published by Sanzani Edizioni. This book was released on 2024-02-04 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As in many other traditional cultures, Hawaiian art, dance, music and poetry were highly integrated into every aspect of life, to a degree far beyond that of industrial society. The poetry at the core of the Hula is extremely sophisticated. Typically a Hula song has several dimensions: mythological aspects, cultural implications, an ecological setting, and in many cases, (although Emerson is reluctant to acknowledge this) frank erotic imagery. The extensive footnotes and background information allow us an unprecedented look into these deeper layers. While Emerson's translations are not great poetry, they do serve as a literal English guide to the amazing Hawaiian lyrics.
