Book Description
World, Self, Poem collects the best of the essays submitted by poets and scholars from around the U.S. and Canada, and beyond, for presentation at the "Jubilation of Poets" festival celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Cleveland State University Poetry Center in October 1986. In this collection, eighteen critics consider the works of a number of important postmodern poets and, using various approaches, confront some of the central problems posed by the poetry of the past 25 years. John Ashbery, Wendell Berry, Edward Dorn, Robert Duncan, Geoffrey Hill, Ted Hughes, Lousie Gluck, Adrienna Rich, Denise Levertov, Gary Snyder, Gerald Stern, and William Stafford are among the poets who receive detailed attention in these essays. The questions addressed include political involvement and noninvolvement, the theme of nuclear annihilation, the poet's use and misuse of history, poetry workshops in Central America; the "I" in contemporary poetry; the pastoral vein in contemporary poetry; the nature and implications of concrete and "found" poetry; analogies of poetry and music.

Captain Blaze
Author: Elzear Blaze
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781846772252
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Captain Blaze: Life in Napoleon's Army Elzear Blaze recounts his life and experiences in Napoleon's army in a well-written, articulate and companionable style, that draws the reader in as though listening to a master storyteller in the flesh. Whereas most writers of military memoirs deliver linear accounts of their recollections, Blaze concentrates on the different aspects of the military experience-the soldiers, the food, the uniforms, the camp, the march, etc.-and spins fact and anecdote, both personal and borrowed, into a seamless monologue that evokes the very spirit of the Napoleonic period. Comrades and acquaintances are drawn in convincing detail, with all their idiosyncrasies and humour. Blaze is a different kind of French Napoleonic soldier, and this is a different kind of military memoir. For those who are fascinated by the subject it is absolutely essential, taking the reader into the heart of the times, in an intimate portrait of life in the infantry on campaign throughout Europe."

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 417
Book Description
The first thing you should know about me is that I am dead … Death. It comes to us all, even to you, one day. When death slips its hand around your tired hand, you will welcome the cold touch, I promise you. It is the leveller, the constant ... the one thing none of us can avoid. The rich, the poor, the gifted and the lame; we are all alike in death. Death is equal. Death is pure. Three tales wind through She-Wolf, each following the path of a different character. Ryder De Winter, the illegitimate son of Rafael De Winter, born with too much to prove. Tabitha Larch, a child forced into marriage with the cold and callous chieftain, Ares Wolfsnare, her innocence sacrificed to unify the two most powerful elven tribes on the Isle. And the She-Wolf, whose tale is as strange as she is … Three strands, seemingly unconnected, finally join together to become one, in this, the seventh book in the Isle of Dreams series.

Pages : 228
Book Description
The Military Enlightenment brings to light a radically new narrative both on the Enlightenment and the French armed forces from Louis XIV to Napoleon. Christy Pichichero makes a striking discovery: the Geneva Conventions, post-traumatic stress disorder, the military "band of brothers," and soldierly heroism all found their antecedents in the eighteenth-century French armed forces. Readers of The Military Enlightenment will be startled to learn of the many ways in which French military officers, administrators, and medical personnel advanced ideas of human and political rights, military psychology, and social justice.
