Book Synopsis On the Desire to Levitate by : Alison Powell
Download or read book On the Desire to Levitate written by Alison Powell and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Desire to Levitate is the first collection of poems by Alison Powell. This striking collection includes vivid, unflinching meditations on aging, mythology, poetry, and family. In tight, elegant lines that alternate between homage and elegy, these poems explore known subjects with a rebellious eye: a defeated Hercules and a bitter Eurydice, a sympathetic Lucifer, and generations of adolescent girls as mythical adventurers moving within a beloved but confining Midwest. Yet in Powell’s skillful hands, hardship never overtakes: as judge Charles Hood writes, “There’s often a delicious humor in this work, and always a deep and lasting integrity.”

Five Letters. One Word. I'm the girl who doesn't let anyone in. My world was shattered and turned upside down in one night. Since then I've been trying to live, if that's what you call it, but fighting the anxiety of what happened and trusting others is hard. Each day is a struggle to reach for the unknown. Truth. Five Letters. One Word. I watched my father give my mother the world and the stars. She took everything from him, then left him as a broken man with nothing to live for. I told myself I'd never fall in love. I'm guarding my heart and emotions, only looking out for number one. The only way to have truth in any relationship is to stay true to yourself. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, you realize your puzzle is unfinished. You find a piece you never thought you needed until everything changes with one touch. After that...you levitate.

Book Synopsis Survival Levitation by : Patrick L. Mallory
Download or read book Survival Levitation written by Patrick L. Mallory and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little manual you now hold teaches levitation. Many people will have you believe levitation is impossible. It is not. Levitation is an extraordinary ability. By that I mean you do it every day and dont even realize it. Im going to show you how to bring out that little bit of extra energy you need to leave the ground. With proper knowledge and some time spent doing the exercises in this manual, you can achieve levitation. Its not as hard as you may think. I wrote this manual to save lives. Our society lives and works in buildings that are too tall. Fire and rescue personnel just cant get to the upper floors if something disastrous happens in the middle or upper floors of these buildings. Many people choose to jump rather than die in fire. I dont blame them either; however, by writing this manual, I would like to give you a third choice. If you take the time to learn what I teach, you can control how fast you fall. That is why I chose to name this work Survival Levitation. Levitation is for survival and it can save your life. I hope and pray that you will never have to use the knowledge in this book to save your life. If you do, however, it will be nice to have it. Be safe, be prepared, and dont be afraid to let yourself achieve something impossible.
Book Synopsis The Art of Perpetuation by : Alison Powell
Download or read book The Art of Perpetuation written by Alison Powell and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Vivid explorations of cryogenics, lion baiting, iDollators, dodo birds, SpaceX, and more populate THE ART OF PERPETUATION, a poignant new collection of lyric essays from Alison Powell that troubles the boundaries between human and animal, living and dead, man and woman, adult and child. These nine whip-smart essays juxtapose personal narrative--memories of the author's childhood growing up in southern Indiana and experiences as a mother of two--with scientific, historical, and cultural narrative. Throughout the collection, Powell seeks to unearth, to peel back, to lay bare: To pry something out of someone, the meat of a walnut from its enamel-like shell, is an excavation--to uncover a lie, an infidelity. Dizzying, fragmentary, and provocative, Powell's lyrical investigations dig in deep, coming up for air only to expose the meaningless of naming in a world obsessed with self-perpetuation. To say a poem is like a body is to say one's self is a machine. To say a body is erasable is to say extinction is a temperate clicking... And like that, with one hand on the glass and one gloved hand inside the mouth of the woolly rhino, you have done it. Alison Powell's THE ART OF PERPETUATION is a Mobius strip of macro and micro that remakes the Oxford English Dictionary into a murder mystery and organizes the kaleidoscope of the natural world into an occult circuit board. In these pages, we encounter the archeological Red Lady who wasn't one at all, the dreaming Elon Musk and his Ray Bradbury cloak of sci-fi improbability, and the reverend geologist who ate the heart of Louis XIV and declared that he, 'like all men of science, know[s] the body because of women and criminals.' Powell is a wizard of history and metaphorical precision, and imbues her elusive subjects with unsettling magnetism, whether it's Aristotle arguing that the city is organic, 'which is like saying cruelty is organic, ' or her compelling high school bully, who lives in her brain 'and sparkles with her violence, ' much like these dazzling, prismatic lyric essays.--Simeon Berry THE ART OF PERPETUATION is an extended meditation that considers the slipperiness of images. From the archives of dolls to Louis XIV's preserved heart to personal memories, which are merely images embedded in the psyche, the reader is gifted with a contemplative poetic. This book interrogates how histories, persons, places, and things slowly fade from our present view and leave in their stead wonder, awe, human connection, identitarian query, or ontological mystery. Powell shows us the mind of a scholar, maker, and thinker who can simultaneously hold the answers and the questions. This is writing at its best and most compelling. THE ART OF PERPETUATION is a book any writer worth their words will read and wish they wrote.--Airea D. Matthews

Download or read book Bad Behavior written by Mary Gaitskill and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-13 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award finalist Mary Gaitskill’s debut collection, Bad Behavior—powerful stories about dislocation, longing, and desire which depict a disenchanted and rebellious urban fringe generation that is searching for human connection. Now a classic, Bad Behavior made critical waves when it first published, heralding Gaitskill’s arrival on the literary scene and her establishment as one of the sharpest, erotically charged, and audaciously funny writing talents of contemporary literature. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times called it “Pinteresque,” saying, “Ms. Gaitskill writes with such authority, such radar-perfect detail, that she is able to make even the most extreme situations seem real…her reportorial candor, uncompromised by sentimentality or voyeuristic charm…underscores the strength of her debut.”

It's simple, practical, shockingly common sensical, and most important, FUN!

Download or read book Kingdom Disciples written by Tony Evans and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where have all the disciples gone? There is a missing force in Christianity today. It’s a critical one, and its absence has led to weak believers, disintegrating families, ineffective churches, and a decaying culture. Without it, we lack what we need to fully live as heaven’s representatives on earth. That missing force is discipleship. In Kingdom Disciples, Tony Evans outlines a simple, actionable definition of discipleship to help the church fulfill its calling. Readers will learn: What a disciple is What a disciple cares about How to be a disciple and make disciples What discipleship looks like in community What the impact of discipleship on the world can be Kingdom disciples are in short supply, and the result is a legion of powerless Christians attending powerless churches, having a powerless presence in the world. The power, authority, abundance, victory, and impact God has promised will only come about when we understand and align ourselves with His definition of discipleship. Kingdom Disciples calls believers and churches back to our primary, divinely ordained responsibility to be disciples and make disciples. Only when we take seriously this assignment will the world see heaven at work on earth. Will you accept the assignment? Kingdom Disciples isuseful as base material for a course on discipleship.

Book excerpt: Tired of religion? Longing for relationship? You're not alone. Most Christians yearn to grow spiritually, but many don't know how to begin. Some seek maturity through deeds or doctrine. But Tony Evans reminds us that flourishing faith comes from a vibrant walk with Christ. "If you are pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ and are passionately committed to bringing Him glory, your spiritual life will grow at a speed you never imagined possible," says Evans. In Kingdom Living: The Essentials for Spiritual Growth, Tony Evans helps us to understand God's plan for our maturity, addressing topics like conversion, the Holy Spirit, power, and Scripture. You'll discover how: Knowing God better is a passion more than a process. Experiencing God deeper is a matter of the heart first, then the mind. Loving God more is what we do when we follow the God who first loved us.
Download or read book Grimoires written by Owen Davies and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a grimoire? The word has a familiar ring to many people, particularly as a consequence of such popular television dramas as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed. But few people are sure exactly what it means. Put simply, grimoires are books of spells that were first recorded in the Ancient Middle East and which have developed and spread across much of the Western Hemisphere and beyond over the ensuing millennia. At their most benign, they contain charms and remedies for natural and supernatural ailments and advice on contacting spirits to help find treasures and protect from evil. But at their most sinister they provide instructions on how to manipulate people for corrupt purposes and, worst of all, to call up and make a pact with the Devil. Both types have proven remarkably resilient and adaptable and retain much of their relevance and fascination to this day. But the grimoire represents much more than just magic. To understand the history of grimoires is to understand the spread of Christianity, the development of early science, the cultural influence of the print revolution, the growth of literacy, the impact of colonialism, and the expansion of western cultures across the oceans. As this book richly demonstrates, the history of grimoires illuminates many of the most important developments in European history over the last two thousand years.
Book Synopsis The Norm of Belief by : John Gibbons
Download or read book The Norm of Belief written by John Gibbons and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Gibbons presents an original account of epistemic normativity. Belief seems to come with a built-in set of standards or norms. One task is to say where these standards come from. But the more basic task is to say what those standards are. In some sense, beliefs are supposed to be true. Perhaps they're supposed to constitute knowledge. And in some sense, they really ought to be reasonable. Which, if any of these is the fundamental norm of belief? The Norm of Belief argues against the teleological or instrumentalist conception of rationality that sees being reasonable as a means to our more objective aims, either knowledge or truth. And it tries to explain both the norms of knowledge and of truth in terms of the fundamental norm, the one that tells you to be reasonable. But the importance of being reasonable is not explained in terms of what it will get you, or what you think it will get you, or what it would get you if only things were different. The requirement to be reasonable comes from the very idea of what a genuine requirement is. That is where the built-in standards governing belief come from, and that is what they are.
