The Wild God of the World
Author: Robinson Jeffers
Publisher: Stanford Univ Press + ORM
ISBN: 0804780218
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
“The forgotten giant of American poetry . . . For those who would discover Jeffers . . . this is the place to start—and a place to return again and again.” —Tim Hunt, Washington State University Robinson Jeffers (1887-1962) is not only the greatest poet that the American West has produced but also a major poet of the twentieth century in the tradition of American prophetic poetry. This anthology serves as an introduction to Jeffers’s work for the general reader and for students in courses on American poetry. Jeffers composed each volume of his verse around one or two long narrative or dramatic poems. The Wild God of the World follows this practice: in it, Cawdor, one of Jeffers’s most powerful narratives, is surrounded by a representative selection of shorter poems. At the end of the book, the editor has provided revealing statements about Jeffers’s poetry and poetics, and about his philosophy of nature and human nature. “Of all the poets of his generation, [Robinson Jeffers] made our relation to this earth and sea and sky and wheeling seasons and the evolutionary processes that made trees and salmon runs and hunting hawks, his subject. As that relation grows more troubled, his words become more necessary. To have this beautifully edited and freshly seen anthology is a gift.” —Robert Hass, University of California, Berkeley

Absolute Reconciliation
Author: Joseph Wainaina Karanja
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
ISBN: 1628578998
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Can you change your destiny by embracing reconciliation and forgiveness, even after surviving a harsh life? That is the dilemma facing young Alex Ngure. Absolute Reconciliation explores the themes of male chauvinism in the African context, issues of guilt, family breakdowns, and difficulties of forgiveness. The ultimate theme of the book is the desire to be reconciled with self, others, and God. The story is set in 1985 to 1995 in Nairobi, Kenya, where Alex is born of an incestuous rape relationship. He faces the wrath of his stepfather, Macharia, who was not privy of his wife’s rape. Acting out of ignorance, Macharia accuses his wife, Rachel, of adultery. His stepfather treats Alex as a scapegoat, accusing him of all manner of vices as a way of hitting back at his “unfaithful” wife. Unable to cope with the physical, emotional, and mental abuse coming from Macharia, Alex runs away and ends up on the streets of Nairobi, where he is initiated into a gang. Even as Absolute Reconciliation shows the problems arising out of broken homes, crime, and guilt, it still ends on a hopeful note.
