Download or read book Catlives written by Sarah Kirsch and published by Texas Tech University Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her translator's preface, Marina Roscher tells us the work of Sarah Kirsch is a "powerful and poetic presence"--intense, with richness and density. It is an extraordinary poetry of images: pictures, scenes, seasons, of a nature ... already lost to us" which this poet evokes with her exquisite ability to "convey the dreadful softly."Two very special things to admire about these fine translations: first, the translators have kept the associational thought that goes on in these poems, so the quiet images can achieve their subtle illogical magic without any artificial linkages imposed from outside; and second, the translators have kept left-hand capitals but stripped the poems of any right-hand punctuation throughout, which seems right. The effect of these technical considerations is that the poems all have a curious suspension, as if they were going headlong towards an endless emptiness.
Download or read book Rooster Stories written by Shannon Wetzel and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of stories was woven and spun from the fabric of our familys childhood. As a bedtime ritual, John told our young children nightly stories with main characters of their choice. Our son always chose a rooster and our daughter chose a different item each night. Using these two topics, John would spontaneously create a fantasy story meant to spark imagination (and occasionally teach a lesson or moral; however, some were just plain silly and had us all laughing in stitches and reminiscing about them for days). Shannon secretly wrote down several stories and compiled them in a simple book which John received for Fathers Day, one year long ago. John was surprised and thrilled that his family had taken the time to commemorate his nightly creativity for posterity.

This controversial and acclaimed biography portrays a vibrant and troubled woman who never tired of fighting for causes she considered just.

Tara Hooper is at breaking point. With two young children, a business in a town struggling under an unexpected crime wave, and her husband more interested in his sports team than their marriage, life is a juggling act. When new neighbors arrive and they’re exactly the sort of people the town doesn't want or need, things get worse.

For teenage mother Jade Innes, life can be lonely among the judgment of the town and the frequent absences of her boyfriend. A chance encounter draws her into the endangered community garden where she makes friends for the first time. Glimpsing a different way of life is enticing but its demands are terrifying. Does she even deserve to try? Can these women with such differing loyalties unite to save the garden and ultimately stop the town from tearing itself apart?

Download or read book Gertrud Kolmar written by Dieter Kühn and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-31 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linda Marianiello here translates into English for the first time Dieter Kühn’s highly praised and definitive biography of one of Germany’s greatest poets, Gertrud Kolmar. Kolmar carried German-language poetry to new heights, speaking truth in a time when many poets collapsed in the face of increasing Nazi repression. Born Gertrud Käthe Chodziesner in Berlin in 1894, she completed her first collection, Poems, in 1917. She took her pen name, Kolmar, from the name of the town where her family originated. Kolmar’s third collection of poems appeared in 1938 but soon disappeared in the wake of the overall repression of Jewish authors. At the time, she served as secretary to her father, Ludwig Chodziesner, a prominent lawyer. In 1941, the Nazis compelled her to work in a German armaments factory. Even as a forced laborer, the strength of her poetic voice grew, perhaps reaching its highest level before her deportation to Auschwitz. From gentle nature verses to stirring introspection, these are poems in which we can still find ourselves today. Both she and her father died in Nazi concentration camps, he in 1942, she the following year. The translation of Dieter Kühn’s biography conveys the tragic, yet courageous, life of a great poet to an English-speaking audience.
