Book Synopsis Earthwalking & Other Poems by : Karen Ethelsdattar
Download or read book Earthwalking & Other Poems written by Karen Ethelsdattar and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-01-29 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karen Ethelsdattars poems, written out of the politics of the heart and the depths of the spirit, speak to the eternal questions. What is it to be a woman, a daughter, a sister, a mother? What is it to be a person? What is it to be in love with the natural world? What is sacred? Connected to the earth, reaching toward the sky, embracing family and friends and stranger and fellow creature. They sing, they swing, they dance, they bow, they stand tall. They celebrate solitude and relationship and community, nature and art. Critical Praise for Earthwalking: "Thank you for your most amazing and beautiful poem, "Earthwalking." Thank you for receiving and writing it, and for sending it to me. The gift of receiving words for my own half-conscious experience...Your book of poems is absolutely exquisite, a joy to read, a pleasure for the soul and the senses. I cannot thank you enough for sending it to me. I have enjoyed sending it among my friends, and they thank you, too. --Joanna Macy,, author of World as Lover, World as Self "Thanks so much for Earthwalking. I love the poems and their spirits. The work is an inspiration to me" --Shaun Mcniff, author of Earth Angels "Now I begin to make music again on the skin of the drum, with my palms, with my fingertips, the rhythm shivering back through me, the beat entering & reverberating back up through the earth. I walk with my fingers, I walk with my feet. I walk to earth's heartbeat." Karen Ethelsdattar's poems celebrate the ordinary and recognize in it the extraordinary. They make us glad to be alive. This is a book of gratitude for the simple things of life: a flowered summer blouse, an avocado plant rooted in water by her son, a bee and the seasons and the rain. This is a book of reverence for life: the earth itself, a spider and its torn web, her treasured cats, her twin sister who died at 34, a daughter, a son, grandchildren, a mother and father in their last years, friend and lover. This is a book of appreciations: for Georgia O'Keeffe and Hokusai, for one friend's painting of tomatoes and another's photographs of "the ten thousand things," for a Mexican flamenco dancer and Indian temple sculptures. These poems play with form and range in mood from the contemplative to the passionate. They will touch you where you live. "I walk with my fingers, I walk with my feet. I walk to earth's heartbeat. Again & again I am a woman walking, walking to where she turns into the earth."
Download or read book Life on Mars written by Tracy K. Smith and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize * Poet Laureate of the United States * * A New York Times Notable Book of 2011 and New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * * A New Yorker, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year * New poetry by the award-winning poet Tracy K. Smith, whose "lyric brilliance and political impulses never falter" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) You lie there kicking like a baby, waiting for God himself To lift you past the rungs of your crib. What Would your life say if it could talk? —from "No Fly Zone" With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. In these brilliant new poems, Tracy K. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like "love" and "illness" now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. With this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation.

And we should never forget our thanks to our great Creator for the many blessings he has given us up to now, the latest high technology and the Internet, our great earth we live on, about all peoples on earth as we are all from Adam and Eve. As these days, there is less love, which is sharing and caring and less charity around our world for all humanity around us. Ive written about the awful wars everywhere, particularly the revolution in Syria, which began four years agoand nothing has been done about it.
Book Synopsis Each Happiness Ringed by Lions by : Jane Hirshfield
Download or read book Each Happiness Ringed by Lions written by Jane Hirshfield and published by Bloodaxe Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jane Hirshfield is a visionary American writer whose poems ask nothing less than what it is to be human. Both sensual meditations and passionate investigations, they reveal complex truths in language luminous and precise. Rooted in the living world, her poems celebrate and elucidate a hard-won affirmation of our human fate. Born of a rigorous questioning of heart, spirit and mind, they have become indispensible to many American readers in navigating their own lives. Hers is a poetry of clarity and hybrid vigour, drawing deeply on English and American traditions but also those of world poetry. The poetries of modern and classical Greece, of Horace and Catullus, of classical China and Japan and Eastern Europe all resonate in Jane Hirshfield's structures of thought and in her sensibilities. Indelibly of our time yet seated in the lineage of poetic discovery, these poems are meant to endure.
Book Synopsis Armageddon or Evolution? by : Bernard S Phillips
Download or read book Armageddon or Evolution? written by Bernard S Phillips and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are currently experiencing a wide range of evolving problems that threaten us with extinction. However, Phillips argues that we have the capacity-with the aid of a broad approach to the scientific method that builds on Mills's concept of "the sociological imagination"-to confront these problems ever more effectively. This book develops and builds upon new methods for addressing such social problems as global warming, terrorism, growing inequalities, and others. Phillips reveals procedures for achieving conscious evolution by uncovering fundamental assumptions and their contradictions and by moving toward alternative assumptions that promise to resolve these contradictions.
Book Synopsis The Art of Taking a Walk by : Anke Gleber
Download or read book The Art of Taking a Walk written by Anke Gleber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anke Gleber examines one of the most intriguing and characteristic figures of European urban modernity: the observing city stroller, or flaneur. In an age transformed by industrialism, the flaneur drifted through city streets, inspired and repelled by the surrounding scenes of splendor and squalor. Gleber examines this often elusive figure in the particular contexts of Weimar Germany and the intellectual sphere of Walter Benjamin, with whom the concept of flanerie is often associated. She sketches the European influences that produced the German flaneur and establishes the figure as a pervasive presence in Weimar culture, as well as a profound influence on modern perceptions of public space. The book begins by exploring the theory of literary flanerie and the technological changes--street lighting, public transportation, and the emergence of film--that gave a new status to the activities of seeing and walking in the modern city. Gleber then assesses the place of flanerie in works by Benjamin, Siegfried Kracauer, and other representatives of Weimar literature, arts, and theory. She draws particular attention to the works of Franz Hessel, a Berlin flaneur who argued that flanerie is a "reading" of the city that perceives passersby, streets, and fleeting impressions as the transitory signs of modernity. Gleber also examines connections between flanerie and Weimar film, and discusses female flanerie as a means of asserting female subjectivity in the public realm. The book is a deeply original and searching reassessment of the complex intersections among modernity, vision, and public space.

The encyclopedia provides roughly 270 easily accessible entries on topics essential to understanding everything from Greek high culture to daily life. These entries are grouped in topical sections on the arts, science and technology, politics and government, domestic life, and other subjects. Sidebars on particularly noteworthy people, places, and concepts provide related information, while primary documents allow readers to delve into the mindset and feelings of the ancient Greeks themselves.
