Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A debut collection that welcomes a new modernist aesthetic for the twenty-first century. Aswirl with waking dreams and phantom memories, The Late Parade is a triumph of poetic imagination. To write about one thing, you must first write about another. In Adam Fitzgerald's debut collection, readers discover forty-eight poems that yoke together tones playful and elegiac, nostalgic and absurd. Fitzgerald's shape-shifting inspirations "beckon us to join an urban promenade" (McLane) with a multiplicity of chimerical stops: from the unreal cities of Dubai to the former Soviet Union, from Nigerian spammers and the Virgin Mary to Dr. Johnson and Cat Power. "The glory of this volume is the long title poem, which carries the primal vision of Hart Crane into a future that does not surrender the young poet’s love of the real," writes Harold Bloom. Mash-ups of litanies, monologues and odes, these poems spring from a modernist landscape filled with madcap slips of tongue, innuendo, archaisms and everyday slang. Though Fitzgerald's lines often hallucinate meanings that feel open-ended, they never ignore the traditional pleasures of poetic craft and memory, their music an ambient drone—part Technicolor, part nitrous oxide. Even so, what glues these fantasies together is more than the charm of the maddeningly chameleon rhetoric. Fitzgerald's sonorous voice is unabashedly that of a love poet's: melancholic, baroque and visionary. The Late Parade is a testament to the powers of confusion, which may disguise our sense of loss but offer in return that eloquent tonic known as poetry. As Richard Howard writes, "When the new poet turns up the heat, he gives us just the necessary outrages which make us understand what we never knew we could say."

Download or read book The Dash written by Linda Ellis and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When your life is over, everything you did will be represented by a single dash between two dates—what will that dash mean for the people you have known and loved? As Joseph Epstein once said, “We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. We do not, most of us, choose to die. . . . But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.” And that is what The Dash is all about. Beginning with an inspiring poem by Linda Ellis titled “The Dash,” renowned author Mac Anderson then applies his own signature commentary on how the poem motivates us to make certain choices in our lives—choices to ignore the calls of selfishness and instead reach out to others, using our God-given abilities to brighten their days and lighten their loads. After all, at the end of life, how we will be remembered—whether our dash represents a full, joyous life of seeking God’s glory, or merely the space between birth and death—will be entirely up to the people we’ve left behind, the lives we’ve changed.

This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is concerned with Early Modern English psalm translations. It focusses on the connection between inspiration and formal perfection as it appears in George Wither's "A Preparation to the Psalter", Philip Sidney's "The Defence of Poesy", "The Sidney Psalter" and "The Bay Psalm Book". Taking into account theological, philosophical, and literary contexts of the time, it reveals the struggle to find a suitable language in praise of God as a main concern of Early Modern religious writers, and presents concepts which are highly relevant for the religious poetry of the time.

Book excerpt: "In the Fall of 2010 I gave an assignment in my Appalachian Literature class at Berea College, telling my students to write their own version of "Where I'm From" poem based on the writing prompt and poem by George Ella Lyon, one of the preeminent Appalachian poets. I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book. These students completely captured the complexities of this region and their poems contain all the joys and sorrows of living in Appalachia. I am proud that they were my students and I am very proud that together we produced this record of contemporary Appalachian Life" -- Silas House

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry is wonderful. It's inspirational and motivational - at least it should be. Every poem from this book was penned to hopefully inspire or motivate those who may need a poetic pick-me-up to help them on their way.The various themes of the poems from this book include: hope, happiness, belief, faith, strength, optimism, positivity, nobility, might, experience, improvement, preparedness, perspective, capability, responsibility, potential, setting goals, self improvement, selflessness, forgiving, virtue, restraint, perseverance, humility, courage, leadership, mentorship, integrity, patience, truth, honesty, creativity, success, accomplishment, befriending failure, overcoming our weaknesses, dreaming, achieving, and so much more.It is my hope that these motivational poems may encourage someone who needs encouragement. I hope these poems may instill hope to those who feel hopeless, increase faith in those individuals who are faithless, strengthen the weak, and give everyone a greater outlook and perspective on life. We see what we want to see. We believe what we want to believe. As a natural outcome of these beliefs, we experience what we have told ourselves we would experience, and that can limit us if our understanding and thinking is in any way restricting or belittling. The more positive we can be in speaking to ourselves and others, the more positive our overall experience in life will be. We can make the most of any situation - good or bad. It is my hope that we will look for the good and find it!This is actually my second motivational book of poems I have written and published. My first poetry book is titled, "The 'As If' Principle - Motivational Poetry," and features 222 motivational/inspirational poems I have written over the past 20 years. The majority of those poems, as well as many of these poems, were written for me personally. I often write poetry as a way to motivate myself to be better, to learn more, to express my shortcomings and weaknesses, and to write out how I plan to improve, progress, change, and see the world through new and improved eyes.Many of the poems in this new book were written with my three wonderful children in mind. I wanted to speak to them and teach them.The challenges we face today may differ entirely from the problems our parents, grandparents, and ancestors dealt with, and yet, everyone has problems that need solutions. That never changes. We all have good days and bad days. Everyone has trials, tribulations, struggles, and strife. Everyone has hopes, dreams, fears, frustrations, and everyone wants to be happy. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but everyone is doing the very best they can with what they have. You can visit any distant plot of earth anywhere around the globe and you will find children laughing and playing together. Around the world, you will see family and friends smiling at each other and sharing memories, beloved family stories, and remembering the good times they have shared together while counting their blessings for having lived through difficult and trying times. We all experience excitement, enthusiasm, and pure adrenaline bursts of energy when we are living the good life and making the most of our precious moments here in mortality. We also know how depressing, dreary, and dark defeat and despair can be. We all have felt alive and on top of the world and we all have had times when we felt like giving up because for a while it seemed as though the world was collapsing all around us. We all have experienced our personal ups and downs. All people, regardless of size, gender, race, skin color, or beliefs are doing the best they can, but we all need help at times.With these poems, I hope to lift those who feel as if they have fallen into a pit of despair. I hope to help those who feel hopeless and helpless - that they may, through the words of these poems, find hope, healing, harmony, and happiness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-first century is already riddled with protests demanding social justice, and in every instance, young people are leading the charge. But in addition to protesters who take to the streets with handmade placards are young adults who engage in less obvious change-making tactics. In Speaking Truths, sociologist Valerie Chepp goes behind-the-scenes to uncover how spoken word poetry—and young people’s participation in it—contributes to a broader understanding of contemporary social justice activism, including this generation’s attention to the political importance of identity, well-being, and love. Drawing upon detailed observations and in-depth interviews, Chepp tells the story of a diverse group of young adults from Washington, D.C. who use spoken word to create a more just and equitable world. Outlining the contours of this approach, she interrogates spoken word activism’s emphasis on personal storytelling and “truth,” the strategic uses of aesthetics and emotions to politically engage across difference, and the significance of healing in sustainable movements for change. Weaving together their poetry and personally told stories, Chepp shows how poets tap into the beautiful, emotional, personal, and therapeutic features of spoken word to empathically connect with others, advance intersectional and systemic analyses of inequality, and make social justice messages relatable across a diverse public. By creating allies and forging connections based on friendship, professional commitments, lived experiences, emotions, artistic kinship, and political views, this activist approach is highly integrated into the everyday lives of its practitioners, online and face-to-face. Chepp argues that spoken word activism is a product of, and a call to action against, the neoliberal era in which poets have come of age, characterized by widening structural inequalities and increasing economic and social vulnerability. She illustrates how this deeply personal and intimate activist approach borrows from, builds upon, and diverges from previous social movement paradigms. Spotlighting the complexity and mutual influence of modern-day activism and the world in which it unfolds, Speaking Truths contributes to our understanding of contemporary social change-making and how neoliberalism has shaped this political generation’s experiences with social injustice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 40 Poems of Praise and Inspiration: Who Do You Say That I Am? is an easy-to-read book of Christian poetry. Writing this book fulfilled a personal goal of mine and has covered a span of forty years to completion. As you know, forty is a significant number in the Bible. There are over 150 times where the number forty is mentioned in the Bible, giving the number forty a great significance. For example: Moses and the Israelites wandered forty years in the desert; God destroyed the world in the great flood, lasting forty days and forty nights; Jesus wandered in the desert for forty days of prayer and fasting; and many more examples can be found. The format of the book is arranged in order to tell the story of Jesus's life on earth through poetry. It begins with His birth and progresses on to the resurrection and descent of the Holy Spirit. After each chapter, study guides have been developed for individual or group study, depending on the needs of the reader. This book can be read for enjoyment and also used to extend knowledge and reinforcement of Christian beliefs. Additionally, Christian schools, organizations, and prayer groups can use this book to help anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with God. It has been a joy to write this book, and I hope it is helpful for anyone wanting to develop a relationship with the Lord or strengthening the relationship they already have.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mystery of Art Therapy is demystified in this book as the author offers an illuminating glimpse into her therapy practice. The author is deeply immersed in her own creative process and the respect, delicacy, and understanding that she provides her clients shines through. The poems embrace the painful aspects of her clients’ lives and show how by working skillfully and creatively with trauma, abuse and mental illness, her clients move forward into joy, well-being and wholeness. Her poetic reflections move us to appreciate how art can be used as an instrument of transformation by travelling through landscapes where words cannot go. “Art is unique in its ability to embrace and communicate complex, deep, and subtle aspects of emotional experience. And often the best way to reflect upon and understand these artistic processes is to respond to them with more, in the same medium or a different one. Karen Wallace convincingly does both in There Is No Need to Talk about This: Poetic Inquiry from the Art Therapy Studio. Artistic expressions and images are apt to be a few steps ahead of the analytic mind’s way of sorting things out. As an art therapist, she responds to visual imagery and studio environment by writing poems. Aligned with how perception and sensibility work, this language arguably offers a fuller sense of multifaceted processes of arts therapy than conventional clinical narratives. Poems hold contradictions, pare down excess verbiage, distill seeds, and ‘speak/The thoughts of humanness that mattered.’ This book will help therapists and researchers gain a more complete comprehension of their work and do something creative and life enhancing with the feelings it generates in them – living the process themselves as the most reliable way to bring it to others.” – Shaun McNiff is Lesley University’s first University Professor and author of many books including Imagination in Action: Secrets for Unleashing Creative Expression and Art as Research “Karen Wallace’s There Is No Need to Talk about This: Poetic Inquiry from the Art Therapy Studio is a profoundly moving work, therapeutic, evocative, wise, tender, feeling. It is painfully evocative in its words and imagery. There are lessons here for any reader who has ever had to look deeply into the darkness that lurks beneath the traumas of daily life. Karen Wallace teaches all of how to heal, how to love, how to move forward with dignity, and courage.” – Norman Denzin, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Editor of Qualitative Inquiry and International Review of Qualitative Research “Our son Connor has autism and he saw Karen Wallace for art therapy for several years as a teen. Once he said, ‘Karen is the only one who understands me.’ She worked through many issues with him and helped us as parents decode his obsession with monsters. This book provides a glimpse into the genuine caring that Karen Wallace feels for every client lucky enough to see her.” – Kellie Garrett, ACC, MC, ICD.D, Speaker ~ Coach ~ Strategist
