Book Description
Poetry. Translation & Translation Studies. Classics. Collage. "From beginning to end, this is a book of telling contrasts between vastly different sensibilities, values, beliefs, customs, and modes of expressing and interacting with the world. This much one might expect from a book of translated poetry by a forgotten medieval saint. That it should, at least indirectly, critique the crass materialism of contemporary middle- class life might also not be terribly surprising. What, after all, could show more profoundly our weddedness to things than prayerful rumination on the immaterial spirit? That it should be hilarious and marvelously irreverent in achieving all of this is its greatest virtue, better even than a DeLonghi sandwich maker. Compare and contrast." Russell Valentino"

The Continuing Adventures of Alice Spider
Author: Janis Freegard
Publisher: Anomalous Press
ISBN: 193978106X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 49
Book Description
The humorous free verse poetry in this labyrinthine web of words introduces the character of Alice Spider, a metaphoric character and source of inspiration to the poet who embodies the contradiction of a woman's desires as she grows up in the modern world. Alice Spider spins the words into a prose-like story, dancing them around until they spill onto the page. Alice is both a true friend and a trollopy little tart—the webster who weaves herself a wild, wild life. This prose-poem sequence, reminiscent of the beats' style but written with more economy, includes drinking champagne in a hot air balloon, an exploration of surrealism, and an unusual encounter with a burglar.

The Cambridge Handbook of Literacy
Author: David R. Olson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 0521862205
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 625
Book Description
This volume demonstrates how literacy is more than learning to read and write. Literacy creates communities, organizes personal and social lives, makes possible civil society and the rule of law, and underwrites the commitment of both modern and developing societies to universal education and ever higher levels of literate competence. Everything that is involved in being and becoming literate is the concern of this interdisciplinary group of distinguished scholars.

Vagrants & Uncommon Visitors
Author: A. Kendra Greene
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781939781345
Category : Birds
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. Museum Studies. VAGRANTS AND UNCOMMON VISITORS traces the origins, impact, and significance of a bird collection turned museum on the shores of Iceland's Lake M�vatn. The lake supports a eutrophic ecology that, among other things, gives life to an all-but-complete collection of Icelandic birds. The birds, or maybe their collection, give purpose to Sigurgeir, a native son who has been sighting birds and gathering eggs on the lakeside family farm since childhood. When Sigurgeir is killed in an accident on the lake, his family begins a decade-long struggle to make a museum. In this gorgeously illustrated, long-form lyric essay, VAGRANTS AND UNCOMMON VISITORS concerns itself with family, gender, and memorials as it examines the grief, natural history, and accomplishment of Sigurgeir's Bird Museum.

Third Person Singular

ISBN: 9781939781253
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Exploring the necessity of language, this group of poems unfolds the vague world that exists full of shadows and wisps of ideas, unable to take solid form. What is in a pronoun? What is in a verb tense? How do these building blocks of language construct an identity? If a person is born blind, how do they understand these pieces of language that are so often taken for granted? The author's elusive sequence hints at the answers to these questions while raising others in their wake.
