No Water, No Moon
Author:
Publisher: Derek Lee
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
There is an interesting parallel between the reductive process of writing certain kinds of modern poetry and the approach taken by the sculptor, Alberto Giacometti, to his work. Giacometti reduced the form of his human subject to an absolute minimum, whilst somehow managing to maximise its existential reality; perhaps as a result of the increased isolation in the expanded, surrounding, three-dimensional void. It is almost as if the otherwise voluminous, fleshy, sculptural form had been shrunk and reduced to the elongated, yet intense, state of a skeletal armature; but not one lacking human qualities, even though some of the final forms were not unlike stalagmites. If it is possible to do the same with written work, then perhaps such an approach can be adopted to bring about a similar kind of appreciation of what it means to be human and ultimately the significance of No Water, No Moon.

The Hidden Lamp
Author: Zenshin Florence Caplow
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1614291330
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
The Hidden Lamp is a collection of one hundred koans and stories of Buddhist women from the time of the Buddha to the present day. This revolutionary book brings together many teaching stories that were hidden for centuries, unknown until this volume. These stories are extraordinary expressions of freedom and fearlessness, relevant for men and women of any time or place. In these pages we meet nuns, laywomen practicing with their families, famous teachers honored by emperors, and old women selling tea on the side of the road. Each story is accompanied by a reflection by a contemporary woman teacher--personal responses that help bring the old stories alive for readers today--and concluded by a final meditation for the reader, a question from the editors meant to spark further rumination and inquiry. These are the voices of the women ancestors of every contemporary Buddhist.

No Moon

Publisher: Tundra Books
ISBN: 0887769721
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A story of reliance and resilience.Did you call out to us, Johnny, before your small body was dragged down under the water? Why didn't we hear you? I am sorry! I'll never forget. Louisa Gardener is the fourteen-year-old nursemaid to the young daughters of a wealthy, titled family living in London, England, in 1912. Despite the bullying Nanny Mackintosh, for whom she is an extra pair of hands, she loves her work and her young charges. Then everything changes. The family decides to sail to New York aboard the Titanic. An accident to the children's nanny, only days prior to the sailing, means that Louisa must go in her stead. She cannot refuse, although she dreads even the mention of the ocean. Memories she has suppressed, except in nightmares, come crowding back. When Louisa was five and her sister seven years old, their two-year-old brother died on an outing to the seaside. Since that time, Louisa has had a fear of the ocean. She blames herself for the accident, though she has been told it wasn't her fault. If Louisa refuses to go on the voyage, she will be dismissed, and she will never get beyond the working-class life she has escaped from. How Louisa learns self-reliance, overcomes her fears, and goes beyond what is expected of a girl makes No Moon an unforgettable story.
