Book Synopsis These Islands, We Sing by : Kevin MacNeil
Download or read book These Islands, We Sing written by Kevin MacNeil and published by Polygon. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The islands of Scotland influenced many of the country's most important poets through their inhabitance there, whether during childhood or by choice. This anthology pays tribute to the islands' creative output by bringing together a huge array of poetic talent, from the internationally renowned—George Mackay Brown, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Hugh MacDiarmid, Sorley MacLean, and Iain Crichton Smith—to those fantastic poets deserving of more attention—Meg Bateman, Alex Cluness, Jen Hadfield, Aonghas MacNeacail, Jim Mainland, and others—in one wonderful collection. With poems exploring the themes of love, language, landscape, identity, and belonging, this compilation is a significant and heartfelt celebration of Scottish poetry and place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George's memory is inseparable from Orkney, where he was born the youngest child of a poor family and which he rarely left. His mother was a beautiful woman who spoke only Gaelic and his father was a wit, mimic and singer, who also doubled as postman and tailor. Tuberculosis framed George's early life and kept him in a kind of limbo. He discovered alcohol which gave him insights into the workings of the mind. While attending the University of Edinburgh he came into contact with Goodsir Smith, MacDiarmid and Norman MacCaig - and Stella Cartwright with whom perhaps all of them were in love.By the time of his death in 1996 he was recognised as one of the great writers of his time and country.

Book Synopsis Poetic Inquiry II – Seeing, Caring, Understanding by : Kathleen T. Galvin
Download or read book Poetic Inquiry II – Seeing, Caring, Understanding written by Kathleen T. Galvin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a novel collection of international works on the use of poetry in inquiry that transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries. The aim is to illustrate an ‘aesthetic move’ in social sciences and in particular in health and in education. The collection builds a bridge between the Arts and Health and Education by offering innovative exemplars of use of poetry in social science research and in the context of the many varied disciplinary contexts. An exploration of poetry within an international interdisciplinary collection in the context of education, research inquiry and health and social care with university-affiliated authors is offered. Writers include literary poets, academics and researchers in the arts, the humanities, and human and social sciences: an unusual interdisciplinary community. Authors contribute work illustrating how they are finding varied approaches to make use of the resonant power of words through poetry in their investigations. Writers’ aims span new ways to help readers resonate and connect with findings; new ways of revealing deep understandings of human experience; new ways of being in dialogue with research findings and new ways of working with people in vulnerable situations to name ‘what it is like’. As such, the collection offers examples of the foremost ways seen in the literature for poetry to appear in education, health and caring sciences, anthropology, sociology, psychology, social work and related fields. Most qualitative research texts focus on one discipline; this text will be relevant for many postsecondary programs and courses including in education, health sciences, arts and humanities and social sciences.

Junkinsas much the poet in design as in languagehas achieved another triumph of deftness, irony and grace. Allen Josephs (On Hemingway and Spain) I was bowled over by Puss. I have never read, in any other literary work, such a profoundly pure and honest and dead-on rendering of the young girl. And that coupled with her extraordinary father/daughter relationship, it moved me deeply. He did for that relationship what Hemingway did for father and son in Indian Camp. Linda Miller (Letters from the Lost Generation: Gerald and Sara Murphy and Friends)
