Download or read book In the Panhandle written by Reagan Upshaw and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems read as though they were written by the love child of the Brothers Grimm and my high school football coach. There's an ogre, a goose-girl, a prince, a woodsman, and bloody knights errant, to be sure, but there's also a voice throughout that urges us to suck it up, shake it off, play with pain. It's still the Middle Ages, folks-angry lovers, drunk drivers who missed the curve, philosophical cattle ranchers abound in a world full of so much danger and beauty that we need a troubadour to wander through it with us, to organize what we see and help us understand. What's that twang, you say? Why, it's Reagan Upshaw over there on the haymow, tuning his lute. -David Kirby Out of the alembic of a childhood in the arid landscape of north Texas, and from a mix of pained memories, fairy and folktale twists, wry observations, and a lifetime steeped in art, Reagan Upshaw's In the Panhandle distills a poetry with a Larkin-like astringency: smooth and musical over the tongue, but with the dry tang of truth. -Maryann Corbett In the Panhandle is an engaging, intelligent, and wide-ranging book. You'll find poems about early Texas history, fairy tales, small town Vermont, the New York literary scene, modern love, saints, and high school football players. Upshaw has long been recognized for his candid and insightful reviews of artists and books. With In the Panhandle, he shows his worth as an accomplished, versatile poet as well. -Richard Cole

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse [is] a tough-spirited book of enlightened free verse."—Kyoto Journal The Zen master and mountain hermit Stonehouse—considered one of the greatest Chinese Buddhist poets—used poetry as his medium of instruction. Near the end of his life, monks asked him to record what he found of interest on his mountain; Stonehouse delivered to them hundreds of poems and an admonition: "Do not to try singing these poems. Only if you sit on them will they do you any good." Newly revised, with the Chinese originals and Red Pine's abundant commentary and notes, The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse is an essential volume for Zen students, readers of Asian literature, and all who love the outdoors. After eating I dust off a boulder and sleep and after sleeping I go for a walk on a cloudy late summer day an oriole sings from a sapling briefly enjoying the season joyfully singing out its heart true happiness is right here why chase an empty name Stonehouse was born in 1272 in Changshu, China, and took his name from a cave at the edge of town. He became a highly respected dharma master in the Zen Buddhist tradition. Red Pine is one of the world's leading translators of Chinese poetry. "Every time I translate a book of poems," he writes, "I learn a new way of dancing. And the music has to be Chinese." He lives near Seattle, Washington.

Book Synopsis Let me tell you what I've learned by : PJ Pierce
Download or read book Let me tell you what I've learned written by PJ Pierce and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbara Jordan spoke for many Texas women when she told a reporter, "I get from the soil and spirit of Texas the feeling that I, as an individual, can accomplish whatever I want to, and that there are no limits, that you can just keep going, just keep soaring. I like that spirit." Indeed, the sense of limitless possibilities has inspired countless Texas women—sometimes in the face of daunting obstacles—to build lives rich in work, family, friends, faith, and community involvement. In this collection of interviews conducted by PJ Pierce, twenty-five Texas women ranging in age from 53 to 93 share the wisdom they've acquired through living unconventional lives. Responding to the question "What have you found that really matters about life?" they offer keen insights into motherhood, career challenges, being a minority, marriage and widowhood, anger, assertiveness, managing change, persevering, power, speaking out, fashioning success from failure, writing your own job description, loving a younger man, and recognizing opportunities disguised as disaster—to name only a few of their topics. In her introduction, Pierce describes how she came to write the book and how she chose her subjects to represent a cross-section of career paths and ethnic groups and all geographic areas of Texas. A topical index makes it easy to compare several women's views on a given subject.
