Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sue Kappa’s art is identified with the jovial conversational tone, a unique trait of the African free verse style, which he takes advantage of to employ a style that is in many ways reflective, frolicking, intimately engaging, gripping, infectious and entertaining. Here he sculpts a unique blend of styles including the vibrant boisterous bearing of the town-crier, with loud rants on the streets, unrestrained, protesting, complaining and relaying messages to the community, somber reflections in the mood of meditation, and ‘hearty rants’ in a cheerful, chatty tone, as he treats such themes as, Neglect, Regret, Self-Conceitedness, Fear, Recklessness, Irresponsibility, Deceit, Anxiety of fathers, Conviviality, Uniqueness of the individual, the importance of Decorous Conduct, Vanity, the Inevitability of Death, Loss, Climate Change, Resignation to Fate, Loneliness, Destitution, Globalization, Sloppiness, Self-aggrandizement, Fortitude, Nature, Insecurity in the conjugal union, among others. The passion of Kappa to dig it deep, to come forth frankly, to present in detail the outline of the narrative is openly at play again in this collection. This collection establishes Kappa as someone you would find difficult to ignore. In this three-in-one volume collection of poems christened Twisted Slogging Apparitions ...in the Hazy Glint (Vol. 1-3) following three of his earlier collections; The Song That is Stuck...in My Throat (Vol.1-3), and (Vol. 4-6) and Booming Bursts of Bloated Balloons...at the Baiting Beach (Vol. 1-3) (all by Xlibris), Kappa utilizes this deep-fry style of going deep into subjects treated, to tickle us to laughter and hilarity, and to make us reflect on our personal lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sue Kappa has taken his artistry to another level. Continuing to operate in the unique trait of the African free verse style, he has put together here a set of citations, tributes for the memorable remembrances of the sterling human qualities of notable figures such as Mama Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Papa Johannes Paulus II, Nelson Mandela, Azumah Nelson, Haile Gebrselassie, Serena Williams, Kofi Annan, Presidents JEA Mills and Rawlings, others, and iconic events such as 9/11, who, and which have greatly impacted many lives. He questions the ‘conscious killing’ of ‘his twin sisters’ Ladan and Laleh of Fizourabad and the May, 2020 killing of George Floyd. In ‘The Cheering Crowd’, he taunts the legendary character, sycophancy as a worthless pursuit. Similarly, he draws attention to the plight of vulnerable head-porters, Kayayee, on the streets of Accra. This collection again marks the deeply contemplative nature of Kappa as he paints relics of the combination of his insightful instincts and style of the long rendition. In this three-in-one volume collection of mostly long homages christened A Dab Of a Film ...Of the Fragrance ...Of a Rose (Vol. 1-3), following four of his earlier collections (all by Xlibris), Kappa utilizes this deep-fry style of digging extensively into subjects treated, to make us reflect on the Golden lives of the personalities eulogized or the social phenomena hoisted up for celebration or for reconsideration.

This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sue Kappa (real name Peter Atakuma Agbodza) utilizes the free verse style to enable the poetry platform to establish its image as a redeemer that allows for grievances, unshed tears and inner desires to be poured out. Here, he knits together a kaleidoscopic tapestry of mood and style in the treatment of such themes as ‘pushing away old age’; slavery; racism; deceit; the abuse of public office; nostalgia; suspicion; anxiety; jauntiness; love; gossip; belligerence; youthful irrationality and foolhardiness; globalization and the destruction of nature, among others. He crafts a unique blend of style which range from the town-crier mood which employs rants on the streets unrestrained, registering protest, complaints and reservations, somber reflections in the prayer/supplication mood of meditation and the uninhibited show of appreciation and joy in a cheerful, chatty tone. In this three-in-one volume collection of poems christened Booming Bursts of Bloated Balloons ...at the Baiting Beach (Vol. 1-3) following two collections, The Song That is Stuck...in My Throat (Vol.1-3), and (Vol. 4-6) (also by Xlibris), Kappa brings to life ideas, observations and human acts that do not easily occur to us as lively subjects or serious matters to engage our curious attention. He thus succeeds in stirring our imagination riot about the possibility of everything around us including the ones we easily ignore and the taken-for-granted aspects of our daily lives’ interactions serving as subject matter for a poem. And in this deep-fry style of going deep into subjects treated, he is able to tickle us to laughter and hilarity, and make us reflect on our own lives. Sometimes, it gets so close as though Kappa had just been hiding behind, watching us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important contribution to Anglo-Saxon studies Dr Goldsmith presents a fully elaborated and documented interpretation of Beowulf based on the original theories which she has put forward in recent years and which have aroused considerable interest and controversy in scholarly circles. Her view of the poem as the product of a marriage of cultural traditions, a historical epic with allegorical significance, is developed in the context of a close analysis of the doctrinal and literary environment prevailing during the period A.D. 650-800, within which composition is placed. Dr Goldsmith seeks to show that the poem has a unified and coherent structure and in the process resolves many textual and interpretative problems of long standing. Beowulf is clearly seen as a serious work of art standing at the head of the vernacular tradition of allegorical poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study centers on issues of marginality and monstrosity in medieval England. In the middle ages, geography was viewed as divinely ordered, so Britain's location at the periphery of the inhabitable world caused anxiety among its inhabitants. Far from the world's holy center, the geographic margins were considered monstrous. Medieval geography, for centuries scorned as crude, is now the subject of several careful studies. Monsters have likewise been the subject of recent attention in the growing field of monster studies, though few works situate these creatures firmly in their specific historical contexts. This book sits at the crossroads of these two discourses (geography and monstrosity), treated separately in the established scholarship but inseparable in the minds of medieval authors and artists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The figure of the monster in medieval culture functions as a vehicle for a range of intellectual and spiritual inquiries, from questions of language and representation to issues of moral, theological, and cultural value. Monstrosity is bound up with questions of body image and deformity, nature and knowledge, hybridity and horror. To explore a culture's attitudes to the monstrous is to comprehend one of its most important symbolic tools. The Monstrous Middle Ages looks at both the representation of literal monsters and the consumption and exploitation of monstrous metaphors in a wide variety of high and late-medieval cultural productions, from travel writings and mystical texts to sermons, manuscript illuminations and maps. Individual essays explore the ways in which monstrosity shaped the construction of gender and sexual identity, religious symbolism, and social prejudice in the Middle Ages. Reading the Middle Ages through its monsters provides an opportunity to view medieval culture from fresh perspectives. The Monstrous Middle Ages will be essential reading for anyone interested in the concept of monstrosity and its significance for both medieval cultural production and contemporary critical practice.

This book was released on 2000-06-01 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the boundaries of the known Christian world during the Middle Ages, there were alien cultures that intrigued, puzzled, and sometimes frightened the people of Europe. The reports of travelers in Africa and Asia revealed that "monstrous" races of men lived there, whose appearance and customs were quite different from the European norm. This book examines the impact of these races upon Western art, literature, and philosophy, from their earliest mention until the age of exploration. Friedman furnishes a descriptive catalog of the races, most of which were real, geographically remote peoples, some of which were fabled creatures that served as symbols. He traces the evolution of European attitudes toward them, with particular emphasis on the high Middle Ages, when they seem most strongly to have captured the Western imagination. Ranging through literature, the arts, cartography, canon law, and theology, he considers the widely varying ways in which Christians viewed and depicted strange races of men. Finally, he examines transformations in European consciousness brought about by the discoveries of the exotic peoples of the Americas. Whatever their form—pygmy, giant, hirsute cave—dweller, cyclops, or Amazon-the monstrous races clearly challenged the traditional concept of man in the Christian world scheme. It is the medieval thinking about this challenge that Mr. Friedman addresses in this revealing account.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays examines medieval and early modern perceptions of the marvelous and the monstrous. The essays investigate the nature of those phenomena and how people of these periods experienced them and how they recreated that experience for others. The essays trace the development of representations of marvels and explicate individual incarnations of monster and miracles. They analyze the importance of marvelous difference in defining ethnic, racial, religious, class, and gender identities to ask what legacy the medieval confrontations with marvels left for the modern world. These excellent essays look at issues that have long perplexed readers, such as the meaning of marvels, and whether we can read them in earnest or whether they can be appreciated only as play. The different authors bring their expertise to the fore to discuss the development of thoughts on marvels from the classical tradition through the concept's development in the medieval and early modern tradition. This collection is essential reading for any analysis of the marvelous in these periods and the state of scholarship surrounding them.
