Don't Call Me Grandma!
Author: Ilene Leventhal
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1491781629
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
To most people, the very word grandma conjures up images of old, blue-haired women in a flower-print apron and wearing sensible shoes in the kitchen, baking cookies. But times have changed. In her book Don't Call Me Grandma! A Guide for the 21st-Century Grandmother, author Ilene Leventhal dispels the stereotype of the so-called typical grandmother. Today's grandmother is so much more. They are socially active and even text and e-mail. They bring a whole new definition of cool, proving once and for all that some things never go out of style. Don't Call Me Grandma! is a handbook for the new generation of grandmothers, as well as mothers and even mothers-in-law. Blue hair has been traded for younger cuts, our baking for trips for fun fast food, and the flower-print aprons for tennis skirts, matching tops, and cute boots. Don't Call Me Grandma! A Guide for the 21st-Century Grandmother shows how to break out of that "old" image, and still bake cookies if you want. You can become someone who knows how to relate to her grandchildren. Your grandchildren will never think of you simply as "grandma" ever again.

Against Certain Capture
Author: Miriam Wei Wei Lo
Publisher: 5 Islands Press
ISBN: 9780648807971
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Against Certain Capture fuses biography and poetry. It is an exploration of poet Miriam Wei Wei Lo's grandmothers' lives. It comprises two series of poems: the first focuses on the poet's Malaysian-Chinese grandmother, Liang Yue Xian; the second on the poet's Anglo-Australian grandmother, Eva Sounness.This book is as much an exploration of form as it is an exploration of lives: The poet plays with various free verse forms (including short and long line variants); experiments with the concrete possibilities of words on the page; and tests out the terza rima sonnet, the pantoum, and the headline forms. This is in contrast to Bernadine Evaristo's fusion of biography and poetry in the verse-novel Lara, which is much more uniform: being largely blank verse (mostly pentameter). At the time Lo wrote Against Certain Capture, Evaristo's Lara was the only book-length predecessor she could find that investigated ethnic hybridity in poetry.In spite of its formal diversity, Against Certain Capture is written uniformly in close third person. This means it occasionally blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction by depicting the thoughts and feelings of its biographical subjects. While these projections are based on extensive research (including interviews with the one grandmother who was still living; as well as a trip to China to interview the sisters of the deceased grandmother), they are still (largely) projections - imagined rainbows of personality that emerge from the granite of the biographical facts (to use Virginia Woolf's metaphors).The title of this book may lead some to think that this poet subscribes to the somewhat fashionable view that language lacks the capacity to sufficiently communicate meaning. While this poet does not claim the ability to communicate meaning in any absolute sense, she does believe in the possibility of communicating enough meaning for connection to be viable.
