Book Synopsis Snake Poems by : Francisco X. Alarcón
Download or read book Snake Poems written by Francisco X. Alarcón and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For beloved writer and mentor Francisco X. Alarcón, the collection Snake Poems: An Aztec Invocation was a poetic quest to reclaim a birthright. Originally published in 1992, the book propelled Alarcón to the forefront of contemporary Chicano letters. Alarcón was a stalwart student, researcher, and specialist on the lost teachings of his Indigenous ancestors. He first found their wisdom in the words of his Mexica (Aztec) grandmother and then by culling through historical texts. During a Fulbright fellowship to Mexico, Alarcón uncovered the writings of zealously religious Mexican priest Hernando Ruiz de Alarcón (1587–1646), who collected (often using extreme measures), translated, and interpreted Nahuatl spells and invocations. In Snake Poems Francisco Alarcón offered his own poetic responses, reclaiming the colonial manuscript and making it new. This special edition is a tender tribute to Alarcón, who passed away in 2016, and includes Nahuatl, Spanish, and English renditions of the 104 poems based on Nahuatl invocations and spells that have survived more than three centuries. The book opens with remembrances and testimonials about Alarcón’s impact as a writer, colleague, activist, and friend from former poet laureate Juan Felipe Herrera and poet and activist Odilia Galván Rodríguez, who writes, “This book is another one of those doors that [Francisco] opened and invited us to enter. Here we get to visit a snapshot in time of an ancient place of Nahuatl-speaking ancestors, and Francisco’s poetic response to what he saw through their eyes.”

Download or read book Snake written by Gary Lemons and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Snake, Snake is the last thing left alive. He's all that remains of our voices. The bodies of all living animals and plants have escaped down the Dreaming Way, leaving behind a residual ego trapped inside Snake: the sole survivor the Earth must destroy to complete the cleanse and start over. All that is gone--all that has been reduced by fire and ice and the other dynamic retributive forces of Earth--lives on in Snake. Snake is the extracted limbic brain removed from the collective consciousness and hunted across an emptied landscape. Snake is the bad ass reptile holding back the end of time by sticking himself into the spokes of Samsara. Snake is a single narrative sequence, a frontline account of pursuit, avoidance, and even friendship, forged in the heat of struggle.
Download or read book Snake Like Charms written by Amanda Joy and published by Apollo Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is grounded deep in reality, as are the snake cultures and legends it draws from. Author Amanda Joy is a poet from the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia, origin of the Rainbow Serpent, the Great Spirit that represents the world's oldest religious tradition. According to Indigenous song-cycles, a snake literally created this country. These lines from the poem 'Your Ground' carry their wisdom lightly "snake says / be still / stand your ground / it the only protection we have.' This book quivers with snakes, consorting with birds and animals, in company with humans: "There's no animal alive / won't meet your eye." The author won the Peter Porter Poetry Prize, created by Australian Book Review, in 2016. ***.This book is teaming with life, it's a celebration of families surrounded by animals, a book where ideas snake through the lines like arteries. Amanda Joy's variegated language explores rebellious ideas, delves into the underground but remains compassionate. This poet takes a hard look at the world now and yet comes up with a hugely optimistic book.--Robert Adamson (Series: UWAP Poetry) [Subject: Poetry]

Book Synopsis Gilgamesh’s Snake and Other Poems by : Ghareeb Iskander
Download or read book Gilgamesh’s Snake and Other Poems written by Ghareeb Iskander and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Epic of Gilgamesh is perhaps the greatest surviving work of early Mesopotamian literature. According to legend, Gilgamesh built the city walls of Uruk, modern-day Iraq, to protect his people from external threats. Although the epic records events from more than four thousand years ago, those events echo many of the social and cultural concerns of Iraq today. In this luminous bilingual collection of poems, Ghareeb Iskander offers a personal response to the epic. Iskander’s modern-day Gilgamesh is a nameless Iraqi citizen who witnessed the fall of the dictatorship, who exists in a constant state of threat, and who dreams, not about eternity, but simply about life. While Gilgamesh was searching for the elixir of life, Iskander’s hero is searching for consolation.

Book Synopsis Moon, Snakes, Love & other poems by : Lakshmi Ambady
Download or read book Moon, Snakes, Love & other poems written by Lakshmi Ambady and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2022-04-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Moon, Snakes, Love” is an expression of a search, an inward gaze that brought forth experiences within and found expression in poetry and art. These poems haven’t been conceived through a thought-process but rather have been an outpouring, by being in sync with the life around. This book isn’t about trying to understand the unknown but an expression of an eternal lust for the unfathomable that lay within everyone. The artwork embedded in this book serves to ignite the curiosity within the reader and to inspire them to embark on a journey like that of the poet's. There has always been an inexplicable enigma around moon and snakes in the yogic lore and being an ardent student of yoga, this book is an offering to articulate the poet’s encounter with the mystical qualities that moon, snakes and love represent.

Book Synopsis Medusa's Mourning by : Paria Honardoust

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medusa's Mourning draws out the authentic nature of overthinking. As humans, we all have our self-criticisms, inner-turmoil, and snakes that whisper into our ears, meddling with our minds and dimming our perceptions. This collection of poems examines the many manifestations of insecurities and the attempt of regaining the territories of the mind taken by intrusive thoughts. Honardoust's work will resonate with readers who feel overwhelmed with their inner voice; you will feel empowered and heard in Medusa's Mourning. This poetry disregards ties to Greek mythology and any references made to Medusa are used as symbolism.
