Book Synopsis Voices of Iona by : Joshua S. Fullman
Download or read book Voices of Iona written by Joshua S. Fullman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-11-11 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixth century, St. Columba founded a retreat off the west coast of Scotland on the island of Iona. Here monastics and pilgrims could find healing and meet with God. For generations to come, Iona served as a focal point throughout the British Isles as a community of work, prayer, and solitude--a meeting place between heaven and earth. Saints and sinners were restored in this island sanctuary, inspiring great works of faith and great works of art. The poems in this volume depict vignettes of pilgrims at various stages on their journey toward Iona. The author, an American expatriate, composed these poems both as a reflection of his own experiences in the British Isles and as votive offerings to prompt interior spiritual pilgrimage within the readers. It is through poetry, Fullman believes, that we, too, can rediscover ourselves and meet with God. For those who have ever left home, or felt estranged in their own home, these poems speak to the heart of displacement and dislocation--and of finding belonging in an unfamiliar land.

Book Synopsis A Wordsmith's Work by : Mark R. Weaver
Download or read book A Wordsmith's Work written by Mark R. Weaver and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders, business owners or people who want to get things done effectively need strong writing communications skills. This book offers useful insights into how to make your writing more persuasive and memorable. These are the tips, advice points, and examples of an expert communicator. Whether it''s persuading through newspaper "op-eds," speeches, or even during crisis communications, "A Wordsmith''s Work" will improve the success of your message and enhance the reputation of your chosen messenger. Author Mark Weaver has counseled thousands of clients all across America. He worked one-on-one with the Great Communicator himself, President Ronald Reagan. NBC News in Charlotte, North Carolina called Weaver "one of the nation''s foremost experts in crisis communications." His weapon of choice: powerful words. Words that persuade, inspire, and amuse. That''s why Mark Weaver is sought out by corporate leaders, university presidents, and public officials all across America for high-level counsel on how to communicate better. Weaver''s spot-on use of words that move people and change minds is on display throughout this book. Here are just a few examples: Describing his early work as a writer for hire: "The prose was workmanlike and passable for the tasks I was assigned. Some projects were fun to write. Others felt like ten miles of bad road." Pointing out the need to have a different viewpoint before writing an op-ed: "Op-eds advancing the conventional wisdom don''t offer anything interesting to the readers of newspapers. We all agree motherhood is a good thing. Everyone wants to thank our troops for their service. The duck-billed platypus is sadly misunderstood. Thus, op-eds about those topics are less likely to be published." Advising readers how to deal with an ambush interview from a TV news crew: "In old western movies, the good guy wore a white hat and the bad guy wore a black one. This basic narrative is in play during every ambush scenario. It''s important for the principal to remember that it''s not enough to be the good guy; it''s equally important to act like the good guy." Lamenting the difficulty of writing: "Each time a notion pesters me into action and I finally sit down to square off against a menacing blank screen and toothy keyboard, I boldly aspire yet again to the calling of wordsmith. This book chronicles those journeys of composition." When you read "A Wordsmith''s Work," you''ll be moved, persuaded, and you may even laugh out loud. If you''re interested in more effective speeches, news media relations, or communications, then this is the book for you. Perhaps this book and its author''s perspective is best summed up by U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson, who wrote the edition''s forward. Johnson''s key point: "There''s no more apt term to describe Mark Weaver than what''s reflected in the title of this book - he is truly a ''wordsmith.'' He''s a master at understanding the cultural, societal, and media influences of the day. He takes that knowledge and crafts a message that cuts through the confusion, so people see the clear truth." Praise for "A Wordsmith''s Work" National Fraternal Order of Police President Chuck Canterbury: "While Mark Weaver has used his considerable skills as a wordsmith to defend crime victims and law enforcement officers all across America, the tips and examples in this book can help everyone communicate better." U.S. Congressman Brad Wenstrup: "This collection of Mark Weaver''s work shows his innate ability to capture the art of messaging. By combining logic, facts, and, often, humor, Mark hits home with his audience." Former Ohio Attorney General Betty Montgomery: "Rich and thoughtful commentary on major issues of the last three decades, this book and its author reflect a depth of experience and thought that make it well worth reading!"

Download or read book John Ashbery written by Jess Cotton and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2023-06-17 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical biography of America’s most influential postmodern poet. Mysterious, esoteric, and baffling, John Ashbery is notorious for the seeming difficulty of his work. But Ashbery is also entertaining, humorous, even charming, and ever responsive to his shifting social and political contexts. This biography charts Ashbery’s rise from a minor avant-garde figure to the most important poet of his generation. Jess Cotton provides a legible and accessible roadmap to Ashbery’s work that draws connections between his poetry, New York artists, and mid-century politics. Cotton paints an image of a more approachable and socially engaged Ashbery that will appeal to anyone interested in American poetry, queer lives, and twentieth-century American history.

Book Synopsis The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry by : Susan Somers-Willett
Download or read book The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry written by Susan Somers-Willett and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-07-23 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For a lucid and thorough 'real-world' analysis of the movement from the ground-up--including its history, aesthetics, and culture, there is surely no better place to start than Somers-Willett's trailblazing book." --- Jerome Sala, Pleiades "Finally, a clear, accurate, and thoroughly researched examination of slam poetry, a movement begun in 1984 by a mixed bag of nobody poets in Chicago. At conception, slam poetry espoused universal humanistic ideals and a broad spectrum of participants, and especially welcome is the book's analysis of how commercial marketing forces succeeded in narrowing public perception of slam to the factionalized politics of race and identity. The author's knowledge of American slam at the national level is solid and more authentic than many of the slammers who claim to be." ---Marc Kelly Smith, founder/creator of the International Poetry Slam movement The cultural phenomenon known as slam poetry was born some twenty years ago in white working-class Chicago barrooms. Since then, the raucous competitions have spread internationally, launching a number of annual tournaments, inspiring a generation of young poets, and spawning a commercial empire in which poetry and hip-hop merge. The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry is the first critical book to take an in-depth look at slam, shedding light on the relationships that slam poets build with their audiences through race and identity performance and revealing how poets come to celebrate (and at times exploit) the politics of difference in American culture. With a special focus on African American poets, Susan B. A. Somers-Willett explores the pros and cons of identity representation in the commercial arena of spoken word poetry and, in doing so, situates slam within a history of verse performance, from blackface minstrelsy to Def Poetry. What's revealed is a race-based dynamic of authenticity lying at the heart of American culture. Rather than being mere reflections of culture, Somers-Willett argues, slams are culture---sites where identities and political values get publicly refigured and exchanged between poets and audiences. Susan B. A. Somers-Willett is a decade-long veteran of slam and teaches creative writing and poetics as an Assistant Professor of English at Montclair State University. She is the author of two books of poetry, Quiver and Roam. Visit the author's website at: http://www.susansw.com/. Photo by Jennifer Lacy.
