Book Synopsis With Robert Lowell and His Circle by : Kathleen Spivack
Download or read book With Robert Lowell and His Circle written by Kathleen Spivack and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1959 Kathleen Spivack won a fellowship to study at Boston University with Robert Lowell. Her fellow students were Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, among others. Thus began a relationship with the famous poet and his circle that would last to the end of his life in 1977 and beyond. Spivack presents a lovingly rendered story of her time among some of the most esteemed artists of a generation. Part memoir, part loose collection of anecdotes, artistic considerations, and soulful yet clear-eyed reminiscences of a lost time and place, hers is an intimate portrait of the often suffering Lowell, the great and near great artists he attracted, his teaching methods, his private world, and the significant legacy he left to his students. Through the story of a youthful artist finding her poetic voice among literary giants, Spivack thoughtfully considers how poets work. She looks at friendships, addiction, despair, perseverance and survival, and how social changes altered lives and circumstances. This is a beautifully written portrait of friends who loved and lived words, and made great beauty together. A touching and deeply revealing look into the lives and thoughts of some of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, With Robert Lowell and His Circle will appeal to writers, students, and thoughtful literary readers, as well as to scholars.
Book Synopsis Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and So on by : Kip Knott
Download or read book Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and So on written by Kip Knott and published by Kelsay Books. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These poems are a measuring of hope and dread, a collection that shows us the beautiful, bright photograph then places it next to its dark, disturbing photographic negative. In these poems, we witness, for example, Salvador Dali going to work in an office. The discourse issuing from these efforts is redemptive, even if it doesn't come in the form of answers. These poems intrigue with their questioning of the human condition, a state somewhere between spirit and stranger. As the poems move easily into Mark Rothko's art and life, the discourse continues but in the form of colors, of juxtapositions, guiding our understanding of them from canvas to soul. In sum, the poems stay true to exploring an initial, profound insight: The other man that I am. -Alberto Ríos Kip Knott's first full-length collection of poetry is twenty years overdue, years during which I've remained steadfast in admiration of his unique and provocative verses. Good news: Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and so on has arrived, and it's right on time after all. These poems are mature, taut, inquisitive, masculine in the best sense, intersections of riddle and wisdom, regret and gratitude. For all the liveliness of this book, there's a stillness here that surprises, a somberness in its landscapes, the soundings of a life fully and thoughtfully lived that compels our attention. Who knew that ecstasy could be so dire, while doom so much fun? More good news: A whole new generation of poetry lovers can now find out. -Gaylord Brewer If the passions of Mark Rothko offer Kip Knott's first full-length collection Tragedy, Ecstasy, Doom, and so on its title, the poems themselves are hewn from language solid as statuary and tantalizingly wise as koans. Through the frustrations of time's passage, the keen prophecy of art, and the visionary spinning wheel of perception, we might talk to or sleep beside our past or future selves, or finally arrive at "the inevitable/clearing in the woods" where equilibrium means ending, "the blank space of your life/stretching out into infinity." -Lisa Lewis

Book Synopsis A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain by : Robert Olen Butler

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize: “Uncannily perceptive stories written by an American from the viewpoint of Vietnamese citizens transplanted to Louisiana” (People). A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain is Robert Olen Butler’s Pulitzer Prize–winning collection of lyrical and poignant stories about the aftermath of the Vietnam War and its enduring impact on the Vietnamese. Written in a soaring prose, Butler’s haunting and powerful stories blend Vietnamese folklore and contemporary American realities, creating a vibrant panorama that is epic in its scope. This new edition includes two previously uncollected stories—“Missing” and “Salem”—that brilliantly complete the collection’s narrative journey, returning to the jungles of Vietnam to explore the experiences of a former Vietcong soldier and an American MIA. “Deeply affecting . . . A brilliant collection of stories about storytellers whose recited folklore radiates as implicit prayer . . . One of the strongest collections I’ve read in ages.” —Ann Beattie
Download or read book F*ckface written by Leah Hampton and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2020 by Slate, Electric Literature, and PopMatters F*ckface is a brassy, bighearted debut collection of twelve short stories about rurality, corpses, honeybee collapse, and illicit sex in post-coal Appalachia. The twelve stories in this knockout collection—some comedic, some tragic, many both at once—examine the interdependence between rural denizens and their environment. A young girl, desperate for a way out of her small town, finds support in an unlikely place. A ranger working along the Blue Ridge Parkway realizes that the dark side of the job, the all too frequent discovery of dead bodies, has taken its toll on her. Haunted by his past, and his future, a tech sergeant reluctantly spends a night with his estranged parents before being deployed to Afghanistan. Nearing fifty and facing new medical problems, a woman wonders if her short stint at the local chemical plant is to blame. A woman takes her husband’s research partner on a day trip to her favorite place on earth, Dollywood, and briefly imagines a different life. In the vein of Bonnie Jo Campbell and Lee Smith, Leah Hampton writes poignantly and honestly about a legendary place that’s rapidly changing. She takes us deep inside the lives of the women and men of Appalachia while navigating the realities of modern life with wit, bite, and heart.

Book Synopsis Clearly Hidden by : Lindy Conroe Bergin
Download or read book Clearly Hidden written by Lindy Conroe Bergin and published by . This book was released on 2021-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is novelist Pen Elliot's life being threatened over and over? There are a few suspects: her bitter ex-husband Peter and Joe, the abusive husband of a friend, who blames her for destroying his family. But what if the answer revolves around something larger and more global? Set in the seaside town of Falmouth, on scenic Cape Cod, the novel involves a romance as well as a coming out story of a young teen. It also asks how far would you go to protect those you love? Praise for Clearly Hidden "...On the surface...a straightforward mystery...but it is so much more than that. It is a novel about place, people, and the messiness of life; of the resiliency of the human spirit as it triumphs over adversity and fear. In addition, it is an engaging story that pulls the reader into the twists and turns of an investigation which is becoming progressively more urgent. A must-read which guarantees that you will be reading long into the night.-Birger Johnson, author of the Amy Lee Mysteries series "...a wonderfully written page turner. The narrator, Pen Ellis, has a fighting spirit we could all use a little more of. When Pen Ellis is knocked down, she gets back up again. Faced with death threats and forced to deal with a daughter being bullied, she needs to dig deep to fight back...."-Ed Meek, author of Luck and High Tide "... a taut, suspenseful, and fully satisfying thriller that keeps the reader engaged to the very last word. It's one of those unsettling tales that asks what would you do in this situation...strikes just the right balance of edge-of-the-seat action and heart-felt moments...."--Michael C. Keith, author Insomnia 11 and Pieces of Bones and Rags Excerpt A deep, gravelly voice said, "I know you're here, because I saw you come in the house." Echoing words she'd heard in a game long ago, he added, "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" He sounded like he was enjoying himself. Pen had never been so scared in her life. Biting her lip, she tried to remember what Greta, her therapist, had taught her about relaxing: take a breath in to a count of seven, then let it out to the same count. She took in a deep breath and held it, afraid if she didn't do something she would panic. She could feel hysteria lurking right below the surface and that scared the bejeezus out of her. After a few minutes of deep breathing, she started to feel more in control. She talked silently to herself. I can do this. If I stay here, I am safe. She willed it to be so as she took more slow breaths. There was a small plug-in light in the socket next to her, but she felt safer in the dark. Even though Finn has shown her that the light was undetectable from the outside room, she couldn't make herself turn it on. She knew there was a phone charger there, too, but as she checked her pockets for her phone, she felt her heart plummet as she remembered that she had left it upstairs next to her computer. "Where the hell are you?" the same deep voice yelled with increased frustration. She could hear him now, rummaging throughout the house. It sounded like he was looking in closets, opening doors, then slamming them in frustration. She heard him in Aggie's room, then Galen's.
Book Synopsis The Problem with Relativity by : John Sokol
Download or read book The Problem with Relativity written by John Sokol and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Nothing in John Sokol's stories are as they appear. A visual artist with a Shakespearian bent for understanding the fundamental principles of "reality versus appearance," Sokol exposes moments of human folly and bizarre behavior as if he were exposing tricks of light and shade. The characters are by turn bizarre, pathetic, and sympathetic, and they reveal Sokol's dark sense of humor at its best: Van Gogh, at his most humorously neurotic; a jealous, scheming academic; a Peeping Tom; and a nine-year-old girl who can see into the future. All of which, of course, make for interesting narrative premises-but these characters are so complex and human that they transcend the novelty of their circumstances. This is a gallery of finely-tuned portraits of human disorder and brief moments of clarity. These stories withstand the test of careful critical scrutiny and rereading.
Download or read book Island Heart written by Ida Faubert and published by Subpress Books. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Caribbean Studies. Ida Faubert (1882--1969) is a 20th-century Haitian-French poet considered a Caribbean--and especially Haitian--literary foremother. An English-language volume of Faubert's makes her work more widely accessible to students, scholars, and readers of Latin-American, African-diasporic, Caribbean and Haitian letters; and more generally available to readers of poetry and the poetry of women. Born in Port-au-Prince and reared in Paris, Faubert neither easily fit socially-prescribed categories for women of color in France or Haiti, nor conformed to them--living and burning through France's Belle Ã%poque, world wars, and Haiti's Indigenist revolt in art. Bicultural, biracial, privileged, and complex, Faubert was a deft writer and socialite who promoted and participated in the movements of Haitian writers and literature in Haiti and France. While her work is garnering growing critical attention, she is seen as one of Haiti's great women poets.
Book Synopsis Bagels with the Bards by : The Bards
Download or read book Bagels with the Bards written by The Bards and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-04-28 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bagel Bard - noun. 1. A poet that is glazed and ring-shaped whose poetry has a tough, chewy texture usually made of leavened words and images dropped briefly into nearly boiling conversations on Saturday mornings- often baked to a golden brown. 2. -verb. To come together in writership over breakfast. To laugh so hard at an irreverent statement that the sesame seeds of the bagel you've just eaten explode from your mouth like grenade shrapnel. Welcome to the third Bagelbard Anthology. As some of you know (or can guess from the above definition) the Bagel Bards meet every Saturday morning at a designated spot. We breakfast in the original sense of eating, but also, because most of us are so busy working on our writing careers that we often find ourselves starved for great conversation. Well, the Bagel Bards breakfast hang is not only a place in which to do the aforementioned, but also to observe characters who themselves could be the subjects of poems and fiction.
Download or read book Bleaker House written by Nell Stevens and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she was twenty-seven, Nell Stevens—a lifelong aspiring novelist—won an all-expenses-paid fellowship to go anywhere in the world to write. Would she choose a glittering metropolis, a romantic village, an exotic paradise? Not exactly. Nell picked Bleaker Island, a snowy, windswept pile of rock in the Falklands. Other than sheep, penguins, paranoia, and the weather, there aren’t many distractions, but as Nell soon discovers, total isolation and 1,085 calories a day are far from ideal conditions for literary production. With deft humor, this memoir traces her island days and slowly reveals the life and people she has left behind in pursuit of her writing. It seems that there is nowhere she can run—an island or the pages of her notebook—to escape the big questions of love, art, and, ambition.
Book Synopsis Bagels with the Bards #12 by : Steve Glines
Download or read book Bagels with the Bards #12 written by Steve Glines and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bagel Bards is a group of poets and writers founded by Doug Holder and Harris Gardner thirteen years ago. Writing poetry can be an isolating experience. Poetry is not exactly the go-to arts and entertainment experience for most Americans. We don't honor our poets the way they do in Latin America where poets are appointed as diplomats. Anyway, the Bagel Bards meet each Saturday morning at Au Bon Pain in Davis Square, Somerville, MA. There, we discuss everything from poetry to basketball, and in doing so, foster a community of writers. One of the bards, Gloria Mindock, is the current Poet Laureate of Somerville. Another, Zvi A. Sesling, who edits this anthology, is the Poet Laureate of Brookline. What all these poets have in common is a love of language and poetry and within these pages, you'll find a wide range of poems that manifest that.
Book Synopsis Bagels with the Bards #10 by : The Bagel Bards
Download or read book Bagels with the Bards #10 written by The Bagel Bards and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bagel Bards (or Bagels with the Bards) (are) a group of poets varied in age, race, gender meet, share poems, discuss poetry, drink lots of coffee, chew a bagel if so desired, sometimes sell their books. The atmosphere is generous and open to all, and you don't have to be a poet to attend. What I find most exciting about the Bards, people here are not conscious of reputation and achievement, but love the poem and good friendly unpretentious talk. That doesn't mean that pretensions don't exist if that's what you desire, but the coffee is strong, the people sincere and are publishers of small press magazines, pamphlets and books. If you want to be in an atmosphere that is intelligent without self-involved, convoluted literary talk of people who need to prove themselves and announce themselves as artists, here is a place to and the pleasure that good literary company may offer. -- Sam Cornish
