Book Synopsis Hard Rain Falling by : Don Carpenter
Download or read book Hard Rain Falling written by Don Carpenter and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2010-06-23 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hardboiled novel about life in the American underground, from the pool halls of Portland to the cells of San Quentin. Simply one of the finest books ever written about being down on your luck. Don Carpenter’s Hard Rain Falling is a tough-as-nails account of being down and out, but never down for good—a Dostoyevskian tale of crime, punishment, and the pursuit of an ever-elusive redemption. The novel follows the adventures of Jack Levitt, an orphaned teenager living off his wits in the fleabag hotels and seedy pool halls of Portland, Oregon. Jack befriends Billy Lancing, a young black runaway and pool hustler extraordinaire. A heist gone wrong gets Jack sent to reform school, from which he emerges embittered by abuse and solitary confinement. In the meantime Billy has joined the middle class—married, fathered a son, acquired a business and a mistress. But neither Jack nor Billy can escape their troubled pasts, and they will meet again in San Quentin before their strange double drama comes to a violent and revelatory end.
Book Synopsis The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht by : Bertolt Brecht
Download or read book The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht written by Bertolt Brecht and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 1606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Times Literary Supplement • Books of the Year ("The most generous available English collection of Brecht’s poetry.") A landmark literary event, The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht is the most extensive English translation of Brecht’s poetry to date. Widely celebrated as the greatest German playwright of the twentieth century, Bertolt Brecht was also, as George Steiner observed, “that very rare phenomenon, a great poet, for whom poetry is an almost everyday visitation and drawing of breath.” Hugely prolific, Brecht also wrote more than two thousand poems—though fewer than half were published in his lifetime, and early translations were heavily censored. Now, award-winning translators David Constantine and Tom Kuhn have heroically translated more than 1,200 poems in the most comprehensive English collection of Brecht’s poetry to date. Written between 1913 and 1956, these poems celebrate Brecht’s unquenchable “love of life, the desire for better and more of it,” and reflect the technical virtuosity of an artist driven by bitter and violent politics, as well as by the untrammeled forces of love and erotic desire. A monumental achievement and a reclamation, The Collected Poems of Bertolt Brecht is a must-have for any lover of twentieth-century poetry.

Book Synopsis My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes by : Lila Azam Zanganeh
Download or read book My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes written by Lila Azam Zanganeh and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first anthology of its kind, Lila Azam Zanganeh argues that although Iran looms large in the American imagination, it is grossly misunderstood-seen either as the third pillar of Bush's infamous "axis of evil" or as a nation teeming with youths clamoring for revolution. This collection showcases the real scope and complexity of Iran through the work of a stellar group of contributors-including Azar Nafisi and with original art by Marjane Satrapi. Their collective goal is to counter the many existing cultural and political clichés about Iran. Some of the pieces concern feminism, sexuality, or eroticism under the Islamic Republic; others are unorthodox political testimonies or about race and religion. Almost all these contributors have broken artistic and cultural taboos in their work. Journalist Reza Aslan, author of No God But God, explains why Iran is not a theocracy but, rather, a "mullahcracy." Mehrangiz Kar, a lawyer and human rights activist who was jailed in Iran and is currently a fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, argues that the Iranian Revolution actually engendered the birth of feminism in Iran. Journalist Azadeh Moaveni reveals the underground parties and sex culture in Tehran, while Gelareh Asayesh, author of Saffron Sky, writes poignantly on why Iranians are not considered white in America, even though they think they are. Poet and writer Naghmeh Zarbafian expounds on the surreal experience of reading censored books in Iran, while Roya Hakakian, author of Journey from the Land of No: A Girlhood Caught in Revolutionary Iran, recalls the happy days of Iranian Jews. With a sharp, incisive introduction by Lila Azam Zanganeh, this diverse collection will alter what you thought you knew about Iran. "My Sister, Guard Your Veil; My Brother, Guard Your Eyes aims to corrode fixed ideas and turns cultural and political clichés on their heads . . . Iranians themselves live in a complex and schizophrenic reality, at a surreal crossroads between political Islam and satellite television, massive national oil revenues, and searing social inequalities."--From the Introduction by Lila Azam Zanganeh Contributors include: Azar Nafisi, author of the best-selling Reading Lolita in Tehran, Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis, Shirin Neshat, internationally acclaimed visual artist, Abbas Kiarostami, award-winning filmmaker of Taste of Cherry, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Oscar nominee for House of Sand and Fog, Azadeh Moaveni, author of Lipstick Jihad
Book Synopsis The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics by :
Download or read book The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics written by and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the most popular and enduring band ever: “Even the most hardcore Deadheads will be impressed by this obsessively complete look at the Grateful Dead’s lyrics” (Publishers Weekly). The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an authoritative text, providing standard versions of all the original songs you thought you knew forwards and backwards. These are some of the best-loved songs in the modern American songbook. They are hummed and spoken among thousands as counterculture code and recorded by musicians of all stripes for their inimitable singability and obscure accessibility. How do they do all this? To provide a context for this formidable body of work, of which his part is primary, Robert Hunter has written a foreword that goes to the heart of the matter. And the annotations on sources provide a gloss on the lyrics, which goes to the roots of Western culture as they are incorporated into them. An avid Grateful Dead concertgoer for more than two decades, David Dodd is a librarian who brings to the work a detective’s love of following a clue as far as it will take him. Including essays by Dead lyricists Robert Hunter and John Perry and Jim Carpenter’s original illustrations, whimsical elements in the lyrics are brought to light, showcasing the American legend that is present in so many songs. A gorgeous keepsake edition of the Dead’s official annotated lyrics, The Complete Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics is an absolute must-have for the fiftieth anniversary—you won’t think of this cultural icon the same way again. In fact, founding band member Bob Weir said: “This book is great. Now I’ll never have to explain myself.”

Book Synopsis The White Light of Tomorrow by : Russell Thornton
Download or read book The White Light of Tomorrow written by Russell Thornton and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2023-09-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful new collection from award-winning poet Russell Thornton. With intense lyricism, Thornton records his imaginative movement between the element of water, waking to “the aloneness of water,” and the phenomenon of light, comprehending “light” as “fate” and “love” as “memory of light.” In the process, Thornton highlights how hard lives can manifest beauty and affirmation. A mother transcends degrading circumstances through laughter. A long-lost father’s drafting set case is a “coffin,” its tools a “skeleton;” his “ashes are buried” in the poet’s “arm.” Revelations of nature abound. Thornton’s rainy locale lifts onto the mythical level, water “wrapping around” him, “holding” him “complete / as within womb water about to break.” Herons’ wings “span the countless characters” of a creek.” A description of an ancient BC site is a rapt engagement with Indigenous petroglyphs. An exploration of a Song of Songs passage details “light ... one with turns of the yarn” of a shawl, “a touch within a touch.” Classical myth informs a poem about a power outage; the speaker enters “the elsewhere of the night” to build a fire. Passionate and moving, this collection marks a fine advance in Thornton’s expanding poetic output.
Book Synopsis In Between Dreamz by : Patrice Gunville
Download or read book In Between Dreamz written by Patrice Gunville and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would one do if one were granted the power to make ones dreams a reality, to have dreams that can transcend into reality? And if not there, then where does this all happen from? In The Dream Taker Series, the author has written an engrossing story that revolves around an experiment that could make dreams come true, but with such god-like power how can anyone truly control it or estimate the havoc it can bring into the real word. Perhaps what we see isnt the real world at all? Perhaps were simple characters in someone elses dream? Or better still, in our own dream. Project MKUltra is the code name of a U.S. government human research operation experimenting in the behavioral engineering of humans through the CIA's Scientific Intelligence Division. And officially halted in 1973. In 1977, a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered a cache of 20,000 documents relating to project MKUltra, which led to Senate hearings later that same year. In July 2001 some surviving information regarding MKUltra was officially declassified. The scope of Project MKUltra was broad. What is real? Some peoples reality may simply not look like at all, what youre reality looks like. Its as simple and complex as that. Are dreams like insanity? And what about the people who are considered mentally ill? Or those who can dive into different dimensions, in their spirituality. Or the minds while smoking pot? The twists and turns in this book will have your head spinning in some weird vortex, not knowing which way its about to turn. Yet in the end I feel well all learn, what the heck happened, when we woke up, but will it be too late? Youll need to decide.

Download or read book Am I Someone (The Poetry) written by Allen Francis Foley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-03-23 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AM I SOMEONE (The Poetry) is best described as a communion of words written from the heart, a place of truth. The author may best be described as the Rod McKuen of the 90's and beyond. He plunges deep into self, deep into glorious and painful memories, and deep into a conscious/unconscious life. And then he begins all over again..... Here is one heart, and one mind, reaching out to touch the hearts and minds of others. Dreams achieved through the words and emotions stirred through and through by never doubting he has loved. Love had! Love lost! Love abused and misused! And love, the substance of miracles when all else fails in a world that seems so lost unto itself. AM I SOMEONE (The Poetry) tells of life as an open invitation to cry, to laugh, to love, to live, and to die. It's a connection with the emotions we all feel and hear. A communion of life from the heart, a place of truth.

Download or read book Falling Awake: Poems written by Alice Oswald and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Costa Poetry Award • Shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Award and the Forward Prize “These lyrics…illustrate poetry’s unique ability to shock readers into a renewed awareness of the world.” —Washington Post Falling Awake, winner of the Costa Award for Poetry, “give[s] us the sensation of living alongside the natural world, of being a spectator to the changes that mark our mortality” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Falling Awake expands on the imagery of fallen soldiers from Homer’s Iliad portrayed in her previous volume, Memorial—defining life as a slowly falling weight, where beings fight against their inevitable end. Oswald reimagines classical figures such as Orpheus and Tithonus alive in an English landscape together with shadows, flies, villagers, dew, crickets—all characterized in tension between the weight of death and their own willpower. FROM “VERTIGO” let me shuffle forward and tell you the two minute life of rain starting right now lips open and lidless cold all-seeing gaze
