Download or read book Love written by Sorana Berequette and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-11-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you asked me if or why I wanted to write a poetry book a year ago, I would have replied, Which book? Now that I wrote it, this is a very easy question to answer. First, I need to say that I started writing poetry about two years ago because I enjoyed the flow of words moving through my consciousness, yet I had little intention of writing a book. In fact, I wrote as I was getting my inspiration from taking long walks in the middle of nature. As I kept writing, I started realizing that I needed to have many messages out, but the most important one was about that which we call love. It is such an overwhelmingly defined word that my humble attempt at describing it became a series of desires just to depict what I was feeling at that moment. It is really that simple and complex at the same time. Second, I began feeling that if I dont write ever so often, my entire being is being deprived of this wonderful life force. So I kept writing away but not in an organized manner. I just wrote about whatever images I was being graced with. Third, I started realizing how the various poems fit together only recently, which is how the idea of publishing this book slowly developed. I decided to self-publish for reasons of timelinessI needed to present this offering before the year 2000 was over so that the new millennium will start out fresh. It felt like the right thing to do. I grouped the chapters based on how I felt we, the old souls of this earth and universe, need to connect with our own essence, within space and time dimensions, and with our soul mates. Light and love are quintessential concepts, yet they are just as real as our physical forms. I feel we all blend together spiritually in the end, so whats the point of separations? Of course, this is a personal viewpoint, perhaps shared by many others like me in their own unique ways. Whether love was in the beginning of our creation, whether it wraps around our daily existence, whether it blesses us with its healing power, what really matters is that we feel it at various points in our lives with a fluctuating degree of intensity. Imagine if we could enhance these feelings, recreating our core passionately! The best of all worlds is enjoying every moment of our lives, no matter how our emotions fill it. If we embrace this way of approaching life, maybe then we can all feel closer to our origin, to our energy, to divine power, to creativity, and to guidance. And love will belong to all of us, will flow through and transcend us in whatever form we choose to interpret it. We all need it, we all search for it, we all give it away, and we are all made to exchange it. So why not start this very second? Thats why I wrote this book!
Book Synopsis Morning, Noon, and Night by : Arnold Weinstein
Download or read book Morning, Noon, and Night written by Arnold Weinstein and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Homer and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Jonathan Safran Foer, major works of literature have a great deal to teach us about two of life’s most significant stages—growing up and growing old. Distinguised scholar Arnold Weinstein’s provocative and engaging new book, Morning, Noon, and Night, explores classic writing’s insights into coming-of-age and surrendering to time, and considers the impact of these revelations upon our lives. With wisdom, humor, and moving personal observations, Weinstein leads us to look deep inside ourselves and these great books, to see how we can use art as both mirror and guide. He offers incisive readings of seminal novels about childhood—Huck Finn’s empathy for the runaway slave Jim illuminates a child’s moral education; Catherine and Heathcliff’s struggle with obsessive passion in Wuthering Heights is hauntingly familiar to many young lovers; Dickens’s Pip, in Great Expectations, must grapple with a world that wishes him harm; and in Marjane Satrapi’s autobiographical Persepolis, little Marjane faces a different kind of struggle—growing into adolescence as her country moves through the pain of the Iranian Revolution. In turn, great writers also ponder the lessons learned in life’s twilight years: both King Lear and Willy Loman suffer as their patriarchal authority collapses and death creeps up; Brecht’s Mother Courage displays the inspiring indomitability of an aging woman who has “borne every possible blow. . . but is still standing, still moving.” And older love can sometimes be funny (Rip Van Winkle conveniently sleeps right through his marriage) and sometimes tragic (as J. M. Coetzee’s David Lurie learns the hard way, in Disgrace). Tapping into the hearts and minds of memorable characters, from Sophocles’ Oedipus to Artie in Art Spiegelman’s Maus, Morning, Noon, and Night makes an eloquent and powerful case for the role of great literature as a knowing window into our lives and times. Its intelligence, passion, and genuine appreciation for the written word remind us just how crucial books are to the business of being human.

Book excerpt: A novel inspired by the short story collection, One Night with the Fae. Soul is the first in a brand new series by Claire Farrell. Cara Kelly’s life is going nowhere when she’s lured to a faery festival. There she sees darkness and magic, madness and lust, and she comes out the other side with new eyes and an addiction to the fae. When the faery who saved her life returns to her, Cara knows there’s something wrong. Two souls exist in one body, and both need her, but to help one, she’ll end the life of the other. At first, her mind is made up, but both souls know how to charm her. As the days pass, it becomes clear that the faeries need a leader, and Cara finds herself sucked into a world where morals don’t exist. The truth of her past is hidden in the magic, but all Cara needs to do is survive the king’s coronation, then the fae will let her go forever. But that’s not what she wants anymore, and it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between a king and a half-blooded solitary fae. Cara’s losing her way, and her heart, to the fae, but there’s still her life, and her humanity, left to lose.

Book Synopsis Dinosaurs: A Novel by : Lydia Millet
Download or read book Dinosaurs: A Novel written by Lydia Millet and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2022-10-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of Time's 100 Must-Read Books of 2022 An Oprah Daily Favorite Book of 2022 A Publishers Weekly Best Novel of 2022 A Chicago Public Library Best Book of 2022 A stunning new novel from the author of A Children’s Bible, a National Book Award finalist and one of the New York Times' 10 Best Books of 2020. Over twelve novels and two collections Lydia Millet has emerged as a major American novelist. Hailed as "a writer without limits" (Karen Russell) and "a stone-cold genius" (Jenny Offill), Millet makes fiction that vividly evokes the ties between people and other animals and the crisis of extinction. Her exquisite new novel is the story of a man named Gil who walks from New York to Arizona to recover from a failed love. After he arrives, new neighbors move into the glass-walled house next door and his life begins to mesh with theirs. In this warmly textured, drily funny, and philosophical account of Gil’s unexpected devotion to the family, Millet explores the uncanny territory where the self ends and community begins—what one person can do in a world beset by emergencies. Dinosaurs is both sharp-edged and tender, an emotionally moving, intellectually resonant novel that asks: In the shadow of existential threat, where does hope live?

Download or read book Dream of Night written by Heather Henson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Untamable. Damaged. Angry. Once full of promise and life, now lost in the shadows of resentment and detachment, this is Dream of Night's story—and it is also Shiloh’s. One is a thoroughbred racehorse, the other an eleven-year-old foster child. Starved to the bone, Dream of Night is still a very powerful animal, kicking, bucking, screaming to show his strength. Shiloh has been starved in other ways—starved of affection, starved of stability and she lashes out too…with sarcasm. This injured and abused racehorse has a lot in common with punky Shiloh and by chance they both find themselves under the care of Jessalyn DiLima—a last stop for each before the state takes more drastic measures—sending the girl to a “residential facility” and the horse to a vet...for euthanizing. Jess is giving them a second chance, a last chance—but she fosters animals and children like this for a reason—she’s a little broken, too. And she knows what it’s like to have lost nearly everything she loves. As the horse warms up to the girl and the girl lets her guard down for the horse, the three of them become an unlikely family. They recognize their similarities in order to heal their pasts, but not before one last tragedy threatens to take it all away.

Download or read book The Night Swimmers written by Peter Rock and published by Soho Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Swimming at night, to compare its slipperiness to that of a dream would be to ignore the work of staying afloat, the mesmerism brought on by the rhythm, the repetition of the strokes.” Beneath the surface of Lake Michigan there are vast systems: crosscutting currents, sudden drop-offs, depths of absolute darkness, shipwrecked bodies, hidden places. Peter Rock’s stunning autobiographical novel begins in the ’90s on the Door Peninsula of Wisconsin. The narrator, a recent college graduate, and a young widow, Mrs. Abel, swim together at night, making their way across miles of open water, navigating the currents and swells and carried by the rise and fall of the lake. The nature of these night swims, and of his relationship to Mrs. Abel, becomes increasingly mysterious to the narrator as the summer passes, until the night that Mrs. Abel disappears. Twenty years later, the narrator—now married with two daughters—tries to understand those months, his forgotten obsessions and dreams. Digging into old notebooks and letters, as well as clippings he’s preserved on the “psychic photography” of Ted Serios and scribbled quotations from Rilke and Chekhov, the narrator rebuilds a world he’s lost. He also looks for clues to the fate of Mrs. Abel, and begins once again to swim distances in dark water.
