This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Blessing of the Bikes & Other LifeCycles is a themed collection in three parts that catalogues and values urban life. It chronicles the way we imagine and reimagine the city. In so doing, the poems become urban praise songs. What would we miss if it were all to go missing? Even if we left the place behind for new cities (or the wilderness), what would always remain dear to us? What would our lives be without the places we have known, including public and private spaces? These poems measure and chart the value of our neighbourhoods and the spirit of the city that we wish to preserve. By meditating on our storied past, the poems in The Bless of the Bikes & Other LifeCycles measure and chart the value of where we live and consider pathways to the city’s future.

Book Synopsis Birds and Arrows by : Anthony Labriola
Download or read book Birds and Arrows written by Anthony Labriola and published by Shanti Arts Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds and Arrows is a poetry collection centering on the spirituality of desire. As verbal designs, these poems reflect the shape and movement of birds and arrows in flight. Each sequence in counterpoint traces the arc of a journey, a quest with joys and sorrows, a sense of delight, and feelings of grief. The quester is an archer contending with the mystifying forces of life and love. Faced with the bewildering and mysterious aspects of the world, the archer yearns for the visible and the divine. The road leads to an apprehension of a love greater than the one once imagined. The archer yearns for the perfect arrow that will hit the target of understanding. The seeker longs to find the self-surrendering of love as a way forward in the world. The mystic archer is wounded in battle in the face of life's dangers, but still strives for mystical experiences in the real world. The poems in Birds and Arrows aim at such a target in the belief that the quest is real and true. Voices fly past, like arrows and birds in flight, and the reader senses their whirring sound, their call and cry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Labriola received the Toronto Arts Council Grant in 2014 to write this poetic collection, which explores city life, and chronicles lives lived from childhood to old age. Throughout, the poems imagine and re-imagine urban living. The poems are praise songs for city life. What would we miss if it were all to go missing? Even if we left the place behind for new cities (or even the wilds), what would always remain dear to us? What would our lives be without the places we have known, including public and private spaces? This approach should lead to an appreciation of the true worth of urban life.

Book Synopsis Cycles of a Traveler by : Joe Diomede
Download or read book Cycles of a Traveler written by Joe Diomede and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-08-09 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cycles of a Traveler A celebration of humanity in all its wondrous glory and the world in all its devastating beauty. From the streets of The Bronx, Joe Diomede accomplishes his dream and heads out across America on his motorcycle for a once in a lifetime trip with his college buddy. For Joe it doesn't stop there it turns into his yearly ritual. When a small mishap on one of those journeys puts him on a collision course with his life's path, the bitter reality of the poverty and injustice he confronts leads him to look at his life in a different light. A bicycle soon replaces his trusty motorcycle and we are led down the backstreets of Japan, maneuver on the muddy roads in the rainforests of Borneo, freewheel throughout the European countryside, and up to a chance meeting with fate high in the Himalayas. While mingling with the people who share our planet we are drawn into a search for meaning at a time before the internet offered instant answers, and mobile phones kept us in constant contact. Explore the world from the saddles of Joe's cycles; adventure becomes accessible to us all, coincidence takes on new meaning and synchronous moments become the norm. We become conscious that, although cultural, linguistic, religious, and social differences seem to separate us all, were truly on this ride together. Put on your leather jacket, slip on your bike shorts and enjoy these true tales of voyage, discovery and synchronicity.
Book Synopsis The Coyote's Bicycle: The Untold Story of 7,000 Bicycles and the Rise of a Borderland Empire by : Kimball Taylor
Download or read book The Coyote's Bicycle: The Untold Story of 7,000 Bicycles and the Rise of a Borderland Empire written by Kimball Taylor and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of Jon Krakauer and Susan Orlean, The Coyote's Bicycle brings to life a never-before-told phenomenon at our southern border, and the human drama of those who would cross. It wasn’t surprising when the first abandoned bicycles were found along the dirt roads and farmland just across the border from Tijuana, but before long they were arriving in droves. The bikes went from curiosity, to nuisance, to phenomenon. But until they caught the eye of journalist Kimball Taylor, only a small cadre of human smugglers?coyotes?and migrants could say how or why they’d gotten there.This is the story of 7,000 bikes that made an incredible journey and one young man from Oaxaca who arrived at the border with nothing, built a small empire, and then vanished. Taylor follows the trail of the border bikes through some of society’s most powerful institutions, and, with the help of an unlikely source, he reconstructs the rise of one of Tijuana’s most innovative coyotes. Touching on immigration and globalization, as well as the history of the US/Mexico border, The Coyote’s Bicycle is at once an immersive investigation of an outrageous occurrence and a true-crime, rags-to-riches story.

Book Synopsis Speaking Church by : I. Ross Bartlett
Download or read book Speaking Church written by I. Ross Bartlett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language is the gift by which we shape our understanding and tell our story. But if we cannot see ourselves and our context in our language, our lives can be confused and our witness weakened through a kind of cognitive dissonance created when the only vocabulary available to us fails to match our lived situation. Urban and suburban congregations live this disconnect when the language and imagery often employed in hymns, prayers, imagery, and liturgies reflect a rural ideal far from the experience of believers. The irony is revealed when we recognize that the Bible is a book deeply and profoundly urban in nature. Christianity’s earliest history gives both authorization and resources for helping urban and suburban congregations find their unique voice.
