Download or read book Penelope Bat written by Ken Renshaw and published by Constellation Press. This book was released on 2010-04-17 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This parable about bat is a classical hero's journey as described by Joseph Campbell. The heroine is a bat named Penelope, named after Ulysses' wife in the Odyssey. She lives comfortably but is plagued by a voice in her head that discourages her from taking any chances and forces her to concentrate on her "difference and otherness." A mysterious and mystical crow becomes her guardian and teaches her the secret of soaring flight, and leads her to Yosemite Valley. On her odyssey she encounters the Spirits of Rock, Water, Air and Fire. She learns from the voices of the elements that which gives her power to be "who she is to become." She learns courage, persistence, and commitment, understandings and actions that free her also to teach & lead others. Flight is the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about overcoming self doubt and fulfilling one's potential. The playful interaction of the Greek elemental spirits of Rock, Water, Air and Fire are used to present a unique lesson in how the forces of nature nourish life and change among the creatures and plants and physical spaces of Yosemite.

She feels as if she’s risking everything—but in doing so, she just might unlock a world more fulfilling than she ever could have imagined.

Download or read book Send Me Work written by Katherine Karlin and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of 2011 Balcones Fiction Prize The stories in Katherine Karlin's debut collection encompass an unusually broad range of experience - refinery workers mourn a colleague's death; a struggling young woman in post-Katrina New Orleans persuades a welder to teach her his trade; an idealistic aerobics instructor decamps for Nicaragua to pick coffee. In each of these stories, Karlin offers rare insight into the place of work in the lives of women, her narrators keenly observant and attuned the humor arising from the gap between life as they imagine it and as it's really lived. But even more remarkable is the fullness with which she renders characters who, once we meet them, make us wonder how they've escaped the notice of other writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A book about war that, like The Naked and the Dead or Catch-22, manages to be about very much more” (Brian Morton, author of Starting Out in the Evening). Odysseus is returning to Ithaca after nearly twenty years—half of it spent as a soldier and the other half as a soldier of fortune. During his absence, his wife, Penelope, has remained faithful, despite Odysseus being missing and presumed dead. But when her husband suddenly reappears, he confronts those who have been trying to seduce his wife and kills them all. Based on Homer’s ancient epics, this is a novel about war and peace—and about how returning soldiers can find peace more horrible than war and home more hellish than the battlefield. “The narrative of the novel drives along fast, and Odysseus’s adventures on his long journey home are vividly presented. Readers already familiar with them are unlikely to be disappointed; many who come to them fresh will be enthralled.” —The Scotsman “Startlingly original.” —The Times
