Jottings in the Woods

ISBN: 1598584235
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
JOTTINGS IN THE WOODS, WALT WHITMAN'S NATURE PROSE AND A STUDY OF OLD PINE FARM is a unique combination of Whitman's stunning nature descriptions and the down-to-earth profile of a current program to protect land in South Jersey. While Whitman lived in Camden, he was stricken by paralysis. The Stafford family in Laurel Springs invited him to be their guest. During his stays, he walked along the Big Timber Creek and wrote about the nature he saw. The Old Pine Farm Natural Lands Trust in Deptford was founded to protect what is now nearly forty acres of woodlands, meadow and wetlands along the same Big Timber Creek. It is as though Whitman wrote his essays just yesterday, and the land trust is a current, living reflection of what Whitman experienced so long ago. Photographs, maps, drawings. "The teachings in this book come as natural and lively as the land it celebrates. Walt Whitman's vibrant jottings stir our senses, showing us how to wake up and see, smell, hear the daily wonders of the natural world, right at the edge of our city lives. With those who have come, over a century later, to love the same small realm of creek, woods and wetland, we learn how that full-body attention to life translates into service and the commitment to restore. Another lesson I love in this book is the way Old Pine Farm ignites people's dreams and energies to work together. The all-volunteer staff and board, neighbors, naturalists, scouts, high schoolers have generated an ecosystem of human community, whose powerful magic is this: to use the present moment to preserve the gifts of the past for the sake of our common future." -Joanna Macy Advocate of Deep Ecology and author of Coming Back to Life "Walt Whitman has been celebrated as an experimental poet who introduced the long line and free verse, as advocate of an uninhibited sensory and sexual life, and as a would-be founder of a new religion. But underlying all of these images of the poet is the Whitman who experienced the natural world as a manifestation of divine love and reciprocated this love in his poetry and remarkable prose "jottings." As we face an era of impending climate change, the editors have given us a choice sampling of Whitman's least known but best prose nature-writing. They also tell a heart-warming story of preserving an area of South Jersey streams and wetlands and woods that Whitman walked in and wrote about in riveting detail. Read this book and then plant a tree in honor of Old Walt and the good folk at Old Pine Farm." -David Kuebrich, Whitman Scholar and author of Minor Prophecy: Walt Whitman's New American Religion

Inscribed Objects and the Development of Literature in Early Japan
Author: Joshua Frydman
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004527788
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
The introduction of writing enables new forms of literature, but these can be invisible in works that survive as manuscripts. Through looking at inscriptions of poetry on garbage and as graffiti, we can glimpse how literature spread along with writing. This study uses these lesser-studied sources, including inscriptions on pottery, architecture, and especially wooden tablets known as mokkan, to uncover how poetry, and literature more broadly, was used, shared and thrown away in early Japan. Through looking at these disposable and informal sources, we explore the development of early Japanese literature, and even propose parallels to similar developments in other societies across space and time.

Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes, Second Edition
Author: Robert M. Emerson
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226206866
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
In Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes, Robert M. Emerson, Rachel I. Fretz, and Linda L. Shaw present a series of guidelines, suggestions, and practical advice for creating useful fieldnotes in a variety of settings, demystifying a process that is often assumed to be intuitive and impossible to teach. Using actual unfinished notes as examples, the authors illustrate options for composing, reviewing, and working fieldnotes into finished texts. They discuss different organizational and descriptive strategies and show how transforming direct observations into vivid descriptions results not simply from good memory but from learning to envision scenes as written. A good ethnographer, they demonstrate, must learn to remember dialogue and movement like an actor, to see colors and shapes like a painter, and to sense moods and rhythms like a poet. This new edition reflects the extensive feedback the authors have received from students and instructors since the first edition was published in 1995. As a result, they have updated the race, class, and gender section, created new sections on coding programs and revising first drafts, and provided new examples of working notes. An essential tool for budding social scientists, the second edition of Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes will be invaluable for a new generation of researchers entering the field.
