Download or read book Summer Doorways written by W. S. Merwin and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America today is a mobile society. Many of us travel abroad, and few of us live in the towns or cities where we were born. It wasn't always so. "Travel from America to Europe became a commonplace, an ordinary commodity, some time ago, but when I first went such departure was still surrounded with an atmosphere of adventure and improvisation, and my youth and inexperience and my all but complete lack of money heightened that vertiginous sensation," writes W. S. Merwin. Twenty–one, married and graduated from Princeton, the poet embarked on his first visit to Europe in 1948 when life and traditions on the continent were still adjusting to the postwar landscape. Summer Doorways captures Merwin at a similarly pivotal time before he won the Yale Younger Poets Award in 1952 for his first book, A Mask for Janus—the moment was, as the author writes, "an entire age just before it was gone, like a summer."
Book Synopsis Frenchtown Summer by : Robert Cormier
Download or read book Frenchtown Summer written by Robert Cormier and published by Laurel Leaf. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eugene is remembering the summer of 1938 in Frenchtown, a time when he began to wonder “what I was doing here on the planet Earth.” Here in vibrant, exquisite detail are his lovely mother, his aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, and especially his beloved, enigmatic father. Here, too, is the world of a mill town: the boys swimming in a brook that is red or purple or green, depending on the dyes dumped that day by the comb shop; the visit of the ice man; and the boys’ trips to the cemetery or the forbidden railroad tracks. And here also is a darker world–the mystery of a girl murdered years before. Robert Cormier’s touching, funny, melancholy chronicle of a vanished world celebrates a son’s connection to his father and human relationships that are timeless.
Book Synopsis Reading W.S. Merwin in a New Century by : Cheri Colby Langdell
Download or read book Reading W.S. Merwin in a New Century written by Cheri Colby Langdell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the work of highly awarded and twice American Poet Laureate W. S. Merwin. Spanning Merwin’s early career, his mid-career success, his Hawaiian epic, his eco-poetry, his lesser-known later poetry and the influence of Buddhism on his work, the volume offers new perspectives on Merwin as a major poet. Exploring his works across the twentieth and twenty-first century, this collection presents Merwin as a necessary and contemporary poet. It emphasizes contemporary readings of Merwin as an environmental advocate, showing how his poetry seeks to help each reader re-establish an intimate relationship with the natural world. It also highlights how Merwin’s work presents our place in history as a pivotal moment of transition into a new era of international cooperation. This volume both celebrates his life and writing and takes scholarship on his work forward into the new century.
Book Synopsis Aztec, Salmon, and the Puebloan Heartland of the Middle San Juan by : Paul F. Reed
Download or read book Aztec, Salmon, and the Puebloan Heartland of the Middle San Juan written by Paul F. Reed and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often overshadowed by the Ancestral Pueblo centers at Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde, the Middle San Juan is one of the most dynamic territories in the pre-Hispanic Southwest, interacting with Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde as well as the surrounding regions. This ancient Puebloan heartland was instrumental in tying together Chaco and Mesa Verde cultures to create a distinctive blend of old and new, local and nonlocal. The contributors to this book attribute the development of Salmon and Aztec to migration and colonization by people from Chaco Canyon. Rather than fighting for control over the territory, Chaco migrants and local leaders worked together to build the great houses of Aztec and Salmon while maintaining their identities and connections with their individual homelands. As a result of this collaboration, the Middle San Juan can be seen as one of the ancient Puebloan heartlands that made important contributions to contemporary Puebloan society.

Book excerpt: Though we may take them for granted, doorways impinge on our lives in many ways. Their powers are even richer and more varied than those of the wall. They can change the ways we behave, and alter how we see our surroundings. They challenge us and protect our territories. They punctuate our experiences as we move from place to place. They set the ge
Book Synopsis Unframed Originals by : W. S. Merwin
Download or read book Unframed Originals written by W. S. Merwin and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-04-20 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this haunting, elegantly written memoir, W. S. Merwin recalls in utterly unsentimental prose his youth, growing up in a repressed Presbyterian household in the small river towns of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The complex portrait that emerges of a family without language or history, transforms the story of their isolated lives into the development of a writer's conscience and a warning about the fate of a middle class eager to obliterate origins. "This book is superbly written, offering deep glimpses into the complexities and mysteries of family bonds, with just that distancing from people and events necessary for artistic control."—Edmund Fuller, Wall Street Journal

Book Synopsis Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin's Poetry by : Feng Dong
Download or read book Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin's Poetry written by Feng Dong and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first monograph on W. S. Merwin to appear since his death in 2019, Feng Dong focuses on the dialectical movement of desire and infinity that ensouls the poet’s entire oeuvre. His analysis foregrounds what Merwin calls “the other side of despair,” the opposite of humans’ articulated personal and social agonies. Feng finds these presences in Merwin’s evocations of what lingers on the edge of constantly updated socio-symbolic frameworks: surreal encounters, spiritual ecstasies, and abyssal freedoms. By examining Merwin’s lifelong engagement with psychic fantasies, anonymous holiness, entities both natural and supernatural, and ghostly ancestors, Feng uncovers a precarious relation with the unarticulated, unrealized side of existence. Drawing on theories from Lacan, Žižek, Levinas, and Heidegger, Desire and Infinity in W. S. Merwin’s Poetry reads a metaphysical possibility into the poet’s work at the intersection between contemporary poetics, philosophy, and psychoanalysis.

Download or read book Summer's War written by Jeremy Graves and published by Decharlathan Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2022-08-12 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The kingdom of Summer holds the greatest military in the world of Fairie. It is a land of abundance and riches, ruled by Queen Fennine Firth. She sat invulnerable in the Great Arborium, an ancient tree at the center of the southern kingdom and the heart of the aspect of earth. Then Summer crossed the Demon Prince. Jack has gone rogue, rampaging through the jungles of Summer even as the Black March brings the full might of the horde to the world of Fairie. Queen Claire now must struggle against multiple enemies, all while trying to hold on to the fragile alliance she worked so hard to create. It will mean all-out war. Can the Autumn Prince survive against a kingdom? Can Fairie survive the Black March’s hordes?
Download or read book Here and There written by Bill Conlogue and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-13 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economy threatens the uniqueness of places, people, and experiences. In Here and There, Bill Conlogue tests the assumption that literature and local places matter less and less in a world that economists describe as “flat,” politicians believe has “globalized,” and social scientists imagine as a “global village.” Each chapter begins at home, journeys elsewhere, and returns to the author’s native and chosen region, northeastern Pennsylvania. Through the prisms of literature and history, the book explores tensions and conflicts within the region created by national and global demand for its resources: fertile farmland, forest products, anthracite coal, and college-educated young people. Making connections between local and global environmental issues, Here and There uses the Pennsylvania watersheds of urban Lackawanna and rural Lackawaxen to highlight the importance of understanding and protecting the places we call home.
Download or read book The Golden Gizmo written by Jim Thompson and published by Mulholland Books. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gizmo" is the GI term for the unidentifiable -- and that's the way that Toddy Kent has begun to think of the reasons behind the rapid swing of his days. Somehow, Kent seems always to find himself regularly confronted with The Big Break every man would kill for -- only to see it slip through his fingers. Kent's grinding out a paycheck buying gold on the cheap and selling it for the slimmest of profits when he stumbles into his latest, almost mythical discovery -- pure, unadulterated gold in the form of a priceless watch he didn't exactly mean to steal. Soon Kent finds himself at the center of a whirlwind of danger involving everyone from the woman he can't seem to shake, bail bondsmen who get word of Kent's discovery, the Treasury Department, his pawnbroker, and a devious old man with a dog that may or may not be able to speak English, in a rip-roaring comedy of errors and would-you-believe-it bad luck unlike anything you've ever read. Who ever knew one lousy watch could bring so much trouble? And how many times can Kent avoid getting killed before his luck runs out for good?
