Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sonnets of Gary Langford is a collection of his best sonnets, a few reprinted from his previous books, Gary Langford Reading From His Poems, www.poetryarchive.org Others were written for what is his ultimate collection of sonnets, aptly published as his fourteenth book of poetry for this very reason. Many of the sonnets are gems. Gary is the author of 34 books, of which 10 are novels, 4 are collections of stories, 14 are poetry, 3 are drama sketches, and 2 are textbooks of writing, along with his recent Memoir of a Teacher Writer. The collection shows his wide approach to story telling, as he has used sonnets in some of his plays, and, as you will see here, he turns pieces of his prose into sonnet form, drum tight, yet easy to understand. Each of these is a selected piece he has finely crafted. This has one of his best prose endings in his novel, Newlands, performed many times, including on the radio, and now as a prose sonnet. He has a few visual sonnets as well in this beautiful work of contemplative thought and comedy. Walking through the sonnets. Dreams burn. Wheels turn.

Book excerpt: REYNOLDS UPDIKE soldier, farmer, car salesman, electrical goods manufacturer, lover, father and living treasure, reflected in the declining years of his century as a splendid cook in a womens refuge, a poet and even a dog. Through two wars and two depressions, from the mind of Gallipoli by way of the Jazz Age to a brave new world of market forces, an unmistakable voice describes the fears and passions of this extraordinary human being. Reynolds leaves his imprint on everyone from ordinary people to royalty until he raises his glass to us all as an unburdened and unforgettable man. Newlands is one of the outstanding novels of New Zealand literature, reflected in being broadcast by Radio New Zealand repeatedly in the nineties when it first appeared, along with chapter one being published by the Australian newspaper. This is a novel that draws on historical and personal events as intimate studies of us all. Randy, opinionated, unscrupulous but above all loving Reynolds Updike leads us to the eve of his second one hundred years on this planet. Will he get there? Newlands is a comic tour-de-force of a beautifully written novel. Gary Langford makes it impossible for the reader not to care in this ageless work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Teacher's Guide to Writing is a textbook to help writers at all levels, predominantly through all the exercises, to reflect this in the different areas of interest and ability from school to tertiary students and community groups and from the young to the old; however, this is classified. There are around two hundred creative writing exercises to help in what Gary calls word fitness along with reflective notes on major writing areas, like poetry and fiction, along with the performing area, building up to what it takes for a writer to get published. This textbook reflects the major achievements of the author as a teacher-writer from founding major areas and degrees to being asked to give guest appearances whether as a teacher, writer, or both. What sets this textbook apart from others on the same subject is primarily the authors background reflected both in the notes and all the exercises for people to try to develop the what, who, and how of their own work in the field of creative writing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerry D. Soper reminds us of The Far Side's groundbreaking qualities and cultural significance in Gary Larson and "The Far Side." In the 1980s, Gary Larson (b. 1950) shook up a staid comics page by introducing a set of aesthetic devices, comedic tones, and philosophical frames that challenged and delighted many readers, even while upsetting and confusing others. His irreverent, single panels served as an alternative reality to the tame comedy of the family-friendly newspaper comics page, as well as the pervasive, button-down consumerism and conformity of the Reagan era. In this first full study of Larson's art, Soper follows the arc of the cartoonist's life and career, describing the aesthetic and comedic qualities of his work, probing the business side of his success, and exploring how The Far Side brand as a whole--with its iconic characters and accompanying set of comedic and philosophical frames--connected with its core readers. In effect, Larson reinvented his medium by creatively working within, pushing against, and often breaking past institutional, aesthetic, comedic, and philosophical parameters. Due to the comic's great success, it opened the door for additional alternative voices in comics and other popular mediums. With its intentionally awkward, minimalistic lines and its morbid humor, The Far Side expanded Americans' comedic palette and inspired up-and-coming cartoonists, comedians, and filmmakers. Soper re-creates the cultural climate and media landscape in which The Far Side first appeared and thrived, then assesses how it impacted worldviews and shaped the comedic sensibilities of a generation of cartoonists, comedy writers, and everyday fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare / Text sets new agendas for the study and use of the Shakespearean text. Written by 20 leading experts on textual matters, each chapter challenges a single entrenched binary – such as book/theatre, source/adaptation, text/paratext, canon/apocrypha, sense/nonsense, extant/ephemeral, material/digital and original/copy – that has come to both define and limit the way we read, analyze, teach, perform and edit Shakespeare today. Drawing on methods from book history, bibliography, editorial theory, library science, the digital humanities, theatre studies and literary criticism, the collection as a whole proposes that our understanding of Shakespeare – and early modern drama more broadly – changes radically when 'either/or' approaches to the Shakespearean text are reconfigured. The chapters in Shakespeare / Text make strong cases for challenging received wisdom and offer new, portable methods of treating 'the text', in its myriad instantiations, that will be useful to scholars, editors, theatre practitioners, teachers and librarians.

Textual introductions briefly locate the poems in the context of Donne's life or poetic development, outline the 17th-century textual history of the poems, and sketch the treatment of the text by modern editors. A detailed textual apparatus presents variants collated from many sources and traces the lines of textual transmission"--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: The breath held or expelled in wonder, frustration or delight energises Emma Neale's writing. Poems in The Truth Garden take risks because they need to; in the clamour of family life they have required attention, collected thought and a spirited attitude. How else to "stockpile time, how hoard its shine," except in poems drawn from relationships, home and garden and cast in words that "spill like incandescence around your hands." - Cilla McQueen, 2011 Kathleen Grattan Award judge *** The Truth Garden is a beautifully produced collection of poetry that won the Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry 2011. The award was established with a bequest by Jocelyn Grattan, in memory of her mother, who was a poet, journalist, and editor. The Truth Garden is produced with attention to the traditional qualities of fine book production, in typography, illustration, design, paper, and binding. Additionally, the book is illustrated by Kathryn Madill and designed by Fiona Moffat.
