Book excerpt: The omniscient protagonist checks himself into a hotel room for a week with the mission of getting some good writing done in isolation. Every night "at" the "hotel" becomes a different chapter exploring a different fetish "written" out in a dream-like fantasy world where esoterica meets erotica in this meta-book within a book as the author's developing romantic passion for his muse is played out in all its twists and turns. What begins as a lonely tale about a writer and transforms into an erotic sampler of S&M, catholic schoolgirl/teacher, medical, religious, occult, and poetic fantasies, blossoms into the most powerful literary love epic since Dante's Divine Comedy.

Book Synopsis Young and Immortal by : Tommy Anthony
Download or read book Young and Immortal written by Tommy Anthony and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-07-07 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: an excruciatingly honest portrayal of adolescence from the conscience of a mild-mannered, sensitive narrator contemplating the quirks of his stormy friendship with this obnoxious, manipulative, irresponsible brute of an incidental muse. From white upper-middle class suburban Cedarburg, Wisconsin to the streets of Milwaukee, this odd pair finds a common bond in drugs, girls, and music as their discordant values develop, are tested, and change with the coming of age and pressures of society. With thoughtful commentary, this scrapbook-like memoir is colored with anecdotes, poems, letters, and perspective character asides, set against the backdrop of the current events and popular music of the time, from Cobain's suicide to the Clinton scandal to the Packers winning the Super Bowl. Confronting the more crude aspects of growing up that popular literature would otherwise skip over, it puts the "adult" back in "young adult" literary fiction.
Download or read book Anomalee written by Tommy Anthony and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-02-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The further shenanigans of sensitive poet Eugene Baxter, the next installment in the Life of Easter, and the first in the Adventures of the Prodigal Son. The Poet & the Virgin meet and fall in love in the smoky Midwest, just as the former is finally finishing college and the latter is just now looking at colleges. It is war time. And the people want a new president. Eugene is delivering pizzas to them with his faithful dog on his lap, a joint in his hand, and a Springsteen bootleg from The River tour cranking out some crooner about girls and cars from a buzzy stereo. The good dog licks tears from our hero's eyes, missing his young blue-eyed blonde with the bee-stung lips and thick-rimmed glasses, gone rainy Northwest. The tortured writer delivers another pizza. Another car bomb goes off in Iraq. And the one that got away, her name is Anomalee. This is the story of The Virgin & The Poet, in love, in times of war, in their Sunday Best Birthday Suits, through poetry, letters, dreams, and diaries.
Download or read book 99 Poems written by Dana Gioia and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So much of what we live goes on inside— The diaries of grief, the tongue-tied aches Of unacknowledged love are no less real For having passed unsaid. What we conceal Is always more than what we dare confide. Think of the letters that we write our dead. —from “Unsaid” Dana Gioia has long been celebrated as a poet of sharp intelligence and brooding emotion with an ingenious command of his craft. 99 Poems: New & Selected gathers for the first time work from across his career, including many remarkable new poems. Gioia has not arranged this selection chronologically but instead has organized it by theme in seven sections: Mystery, Place, Remembrance, Imagination, Stories, Songs, and Love. The result is a book that reveals and renews the pleasures, consolations, and sense of wonder that poetry bestows.
Book Synopsis Collected Poems by : Constantine Cavafy
Download or read book Collected Poems written by Constantine Cavafy and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek poet C. P. Cavafy (1863-1933) lived most of his life in Alexandria, where he was content to circulate his work only among a select group of readers; but since his death he has come to be recognised and widely enjoyed as one of the great poets of the century in any language, remarkable for his use of dramatic forms and plain language within elegant formal structures, for his brilliant reanimation of myth and for his subtle treatment of erotic experience. Lawrence Durrell has written of this masterly translation: 'Cavafy has now at last fallen upon translators who can do justice to his wry melodious poems, glinting with insight as if from veins of mica.'
Book Synopsis Directions to the Beach of the Dead by : Richard Blanco
Download or read book Directions to the Beach of the Dead written by Richard Blanco and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his second book of narrative, lyric poetry, Richard Blanco explores the familiar, unsettling journey for home and connections, those anxious musings about other lives: ÒShould I live here? Could I live here?Ó Whether the exotic (ÒIÕm struck with Maltese fever ÉI dream of buying a little Maltese farmÉ) or merely different (ÒToday, home is a cottage with morning in the yawn of an open windowÉÓ), he examines the restlessness that threatens from merely staying put, the fear of too many places and too little time. The words are redolent with his Cuban heritage: Marina making mole sauce; T’a Ida bitter over the revolution, missing the sisters who fled to Miami; his father, especially, Òhis hair once as black as the black of his oxfordsÉÓ Yet this is a volume for all who have longed for enveloping arms and words, and for that sanctuary called home. ÒSo much of my life spent like this-suspended, moving toward unknown places and names or returning to those I know, corresponding with the paradox of crossing, being nowhere yet here.Ó Blanco embraces juxtaposition. There is the Cuban Blanco, the American Richard, the engineer by day, the poet by heart, the rhythms of Spanish, the percussion of English, the first-world professional, the immigrant, the gay man, the straight world. There is the ennui behind the question: why cannot I not just live where I live? Too, there is the precious, fleeting relief when he can write "ÉI am, for a moment, not afraid of being no more than what I hear and see, no more than this:..." It is what we all hope for, too.

Book Synopsis Sterling A. Brown's A Negro Looks at the South by : John Edgar Tidwell
Download or read book Sterling A. Brown's A Negro Looks at the South written by John Edgar Tidwell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-03 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using oral history and the printed word, Sterling A. Brown set out during the Second World War to capture the response of African Americans, primarily living in the South, to America's involvement in the war and how it affected them. These responses, brought together in extended, non-fiction essays of many different types, illustrate the diversity of opinions in the Black South about the war and the war period in America. For nearly sixty years, the excerpts that were never published languished in Brown's manuscript collection at Howard University. Now, for the first time, all of the completed pieces of unpublished writings are combined with the few published sections into the book that Brown envisioned. The legacy Brown left us is not only a superb portrait of the way in which African Americans of the mid-century talked and lived; he also provided a methodology that oral and written historians will find extremely useful. This is clearly a document from another time, as its now outdated title reminds us, but it reveals a world that still informs our sense of ourselves as a nation. In fact, it is an unforgettable history, which Brown has cast in a bright, elucidating new light.

Book Synopsis Trophic Cascade by : Camille T. Dungy
Download or read book Trophic Cascade written by Camille T. Dungy and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A soulful reckoning for our twenty-first century, held in focus through echoes of the past and future, but always firmly rooted in now.” —Yusef Komunyakaa, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Winner of the Colorado Book Award in Poetry (2018) In this fourth book in a series of award-winning survival narratives, Dungy writes positioned at a fulcrum, bringing a new life into the world even as her elders are passing on. In a time of massive environmental degradation, violence and abuse of power, a world in which we all must survive, these poems resonate within and beyond the scope of the human realms, delicately balancing between conflicting loci of attention. Dwelling between vibrancy and its opposite, Dungy writes in a single poem about a mother, a daughter, Smokin’ Joe Frazier, brittle stars, giant boulders, and a dead blue whale. These poems are written in the face of despair to hold an impossible love and a commitment to hope. A readers companion will be available at wesleyan.edu/wespress/readerscompanions. “Dungy asks how we can survive despair and finds her answers close to the earth.” —Diana Whitney, The Kenyon Review “Trophic Cascade frequently bears witness—to violence, to loss, to environmental degradation—but for Dungy, witnessing entails hope.” —Julie Swarstad Johnson, Harvard Review Online “Tension. Simmering. Beneath her matter-of-fact, easy-going, sit-yourself-down, let-me-tell-it-like-it-is clarifying. And her power we take deadly seriously.” —Matt Sutherland, Foreword Reviews “[Trophic Cascade] asks us, in spite of the pain or difficulty of being human today, to find joy and vibrancy in our experiences.” —Elizabeth Flock, PBS Newshour
