Book Description
Winner, Montana Book Award-Honor Book, 2019 The River Where You Forgot My Name travels between early 1800s Virginia and Missouri and present-day western Montana, a place where “bats sail the river of dark.” In their crosscutting, the poems in this collection reflect on American progress; technology, exploration, and environment; and the ever-changing landscape at the intersection of wilderness and civilization. Three of the book’s five sections follow poet Corrie Williamson’s experiences while living for five years in western Montana. The remaining sections are persona poems written in the voice of Julia Hancock Clark, wife of William Clark, who she married soon after he returned from his western expedition with Meriwether Lewis. Julia lived with Clark in the then-frontier town of St. Louis until her early death in 1820. She offers a foil for the poet’s first-person Montana narrative and enriches the historical perspective of the poetry, providing a female voice to counterbalance the often male-centered discovery and frontier narrative. The collection shines with all-too human moments of levity, tragedy, and beauty such as when Clark names a river Judith after his future wife, not knowing that everyone calls her Julia, or when the poet on a hike to Goldbug Hot Springs imagines a mercury-poisoned Lewis waking “with the dawn between his teeth.” Williamson turns a curious and critical eye on the motives and impact of expansionism, unpacking some of the darker ramifications of American hunger for land and resources. These poems combine breathtaking natural beauty with backbreaking human labor, all in the search for something that approaches grace.

Book Description
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html The goal and purpose of the Christian writer is to be a servant of the Word, to contribute to the disclosure in Him of the unified truth in its infinitely diverse manifestations in the earthly life of a Christian, and thereby lead the Christian soul along the path of Orthodoxy from temporary life to eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. After the publication of this book, I sent it as a gift to Bishop Theophan of Poltava. In response to this, Vladika wrote me the following on November 24, 1915: “Honorable Sergey Alexandrovich! I sincerely thank you for your attention to me, expressed in sending me your book “On the Bank of the River of God”. I read all your books with great interest and completely share your views on recent events. People of this world live by faith in progress and lull themselves into unrealizable dreams. Stubbornly and with some bitterness, they persecute the very idea of the demise of the world and the coming of Antichrist. Their eyes are spiritually blinded. Seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not understand. But the meaning of these events is not hidden from the truly believing children of God, and even more so: on whoever the favor of God rests, they will be open to the time of the coming of Antichrist and the end of the world for sure. When the Lord speaks out His formidable Judgment over the sinful world: My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh (Gen. 6:3); then He will say to His faithful servants: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate ... and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you (2 Cor. 6:17; cf. Isa. 52:11). And hide them from the eyes of the world, sighing in fear of impending disasters. Therefore, the great merit of those who remind people of this world about the coming great times and events. May the Lord help you to Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. (2 Tim. 4:2). Your sincere admirer and worshiper, Bishop Theophanes.” “God help you to say this in the [preaching the word] hearing of the world of everything” - these words of the bishop came true in all accuracy during the years of the revolution. Such is the significance of the episcopal blessing, and moreover of such a bishop as Theophan.

Book Description
An unforgettable collection of novellas from the author of Legends of the Fall explores the line between civilization and the “wild men.” Jim Harrison is an American master. The Beast God Forgot to Invent offers stories of culture and wildness, of men and beasts and where they overlap. A wealthy man retired to the Michigan woods narrates the tale of a younger man decivilized by brain damage. A Michigan Indian wanders Los Angeles, hobnobbing with starlets and screenwriters while he tracks an ersatz Native-American activist who stole his bearskin. An aging alpha canine, the author of three dozen throwaway biographies, eats dinner with the ex-wife of his overheated youth, and must confront the man he used to be. “Harrison’s intricate symbolism and scathing observations of urban foibles, his sly humor and vibrant language remind readers that he is one of our most talented chroniclers of the masculine psyche, intellectual or not.” —Publishers Weekly
