Unruly Angels
Author: Diane B. Buchanan
Publisher: Frontenac House
ISBN: 189718154X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The courtroom is the stage for Unruly Angels, Diane Buchanan's new book of poetry, but this courtroom is unlike any other. Here applause is encouraged and both tears and laughter can spontaneously erupt. Here the audience consists of prisoners, nursing babies, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters, as well as the usual legal and security staff, student nurses and the occasional observer. Here the actors are people afflicted with drug addictions. This book opens the curtains on Drug Treatment Courts, a court specifically designed to supervise cases of drug-dependent offenders who have agreed to accept treatment for substance abuse. It seems an unusual place for a poet and, perhaps for some, addicts and drug addiction are distasteful subjects for poetry. But Diane Buchanan believes that this is what Carolyn Forché calls a poetry of witness that is neither personal nor political but somewhere in between, in a space Forché describes as a place of resistance and struggle ... By situating poetry in this social space we can avoid some of our residual prejudices ... Unruly Angels begins with a warning: This poem is a roiling sea of drug-soaked decay, a Tarot card warning, a tsunami presage, and ends with a promise: Hang in there. It's worth it. In between are soliloquies, sonnets, incarcerations, graduations, conditions, confessions and a whole alphabet of courage. Poet Mary Oliver writes: There are in this world a lot of devils with wondrous smiles. Also many unruly angels. In this brave and insightful poetry collection we are taken behind the scenes with the Drug Court team to find that, often, beneath that addict's mask is a terrified angel.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
He never forgot that one night of searing passion. Now, he’s finally found her, but she doesn’t remember him—and she’s working for his enemy. Drea Arnold is no stranger to the weird and unusual. After working as a lab technician for a highly secretive employer, she thought herself immune to surprises. That is, until a brawny military-style man with the looks and attitude to match follows her home from work one night, spouting nonsense about fallen angels and immortal mages. The wickedly handsome man insists he knows her, but he’s crazy—as crazy as the strange feelings he stirs inside her. It's been eons since Chrome laid eyes on Drea, and he’s never forgotten her, even when he was exiled to the mortal realm. Her memory loss offers an opportunity for a second chance, but with her being as good as human and unknowingly working in the demon stronghold, would his revelations only bring peril upon her? Renewed passion for an undeniable hunger grows between them, even as the demons’ latest weapon against the sentinel angels comes to light. Fate has marked each of them, but it’s only a matter of time before the truth shatters the mists of the past, and the demons come hunting for them both.

Open graves, open minds
Author: Sam George
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526102161
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This collection of interconnected essays relates the Undead in literature, art and other media to questions concerning gender, race, genre, technology, consumption and social change. A coherent narrative follows Enlightenment studies of the vampire's origins in folklore and folk panics, the sources of vampire fiction, through Romantic incarnations in Byron and Polidori to Le Fanu's Carmilla. Further essays discuss the Undead in the context of Dracula, fin-de-siècle decadence, Nazi Germany and early cinematic treatments. The rise of the sympathetic vampire is charted from Coppola's film, Bram Stoker's Dracula, to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twilight. More recent manifestations in novels, TV, Goth subculture, young adult fiction and cinema are dealt with in discussions of True Blood, The Vampire Diaries and much more. Featuring distinguished contributors, including a prominent novelist, and aimed at interdisciplinary scholars or postgraduate students, it will also appeal to aficionados of creative writing and Undead enthusiasts. www.opengravesopenminds.com

Angels
Author: George J. Marshall
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476609586
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 486
Book Description
In the 1990s alone, more than 400 works on angels were published, adding to an already burgeoning genre. Throughout the centuries angels have been featured in, among others, theological works on scripture; studies in comparative religions; works on art, architecture and music; philological studies; philosophical, sociological, anthropological, archeological and psychological works; and even a psychoanalytical study of the implications that our understanding of angels has for our understanding of sexual differences. This bibliography lists 4,355 works alphabetically by author. Each entry contains a source for the reference, often a Library of Congress call number followed by the name of a university that holds the work. More than 750 of the entries are annotated. Extensive indexes to names, subjects and centuries provide further utility.

Alpine Archaeology
Author: Patrick Hunt
Publisher: University Readers
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
Patrick Hunt s Alpine Archaeology is born out of more than a decade of widespread high altitude archaeological field research in the Alps. The observations in this research study were made over time in a number of different field seasons and therefore, gradually built up over the years. The author conducted this study while directing the Stanford Alpine Archaeological Project. Alpine archaeology is a specialized field where normal archaeological principles such as stratigraphy, pedology, data recording, anthropogenic features, materials analyses etc. apply but where contextual and climatic conditions are considerably unique. Higher altitudes and cold climate impact archaeological research and its practice in many different ways and influence the survival and preservation of both organic substances and metal objects as less oxidation and lower diffusion rates in the alpine environment noticeably inhibit the decomposition and corrosion of artifactual material. While observations in the first part of the book have been derived mostly from fieldwork in the Grand-St-Bernard region, those discussed in the second part are derived from the Stanford Alpine Archaeology Project s most important ongoing research, which is focused on attempting to trace Hannibal s route over the Alps in 218 BCE. Hunt completed his PhD in Archaeology from the Institute of Archaeology, University of London in 1991. He is on the Classics and Archaeology faculty at Stanford University, where he has been Director of the Stanford Alpine Archaeology Project since 1994. His Hannibal research is sponsored by the National Geographic Society, with a grant from their Expedition Council for 2007 2008. "
