Rain in Plural
Author: Fiona Sze-Lorrain
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069120358X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
The highly anticipated new collection from a poet whose previous book was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Rain in Plural is the much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry by Fiona Sze-Lorrain, who has been praised by The Rumpus as "a master of musicality and enlightening allusions." In the wholly original world of these new poems, Sze-Lorrain addresses both private narratives and the overexposed discourse of the polis, using silence and montage, lyric and antilyric, to envision what she calls "creating between liberties." With a moral precision embracing us without eschewing I, she rethinks questions of citizenship, the selections of sensory memory, and, by extension, the tether of word and image to the actual. She writes, "I accept the truth in newspapers / by holding the murder of my friends against my chest. // To each weather forecast I give thanks: / merci for every outdated // dusk/dawn." Agrippina the Younger, Franz Kafka, Bob Dylan, a butoh performance, an unnamed Raku tea bowl—each has a place here. Made whole by time and its alteration in timelessness, synchrony, coincidences, and accidents, Rain in Plural beautifully reveals an elegiac yet ever-evolving inner life.

Creation and Tradition in Language
Author: J. Peter Maher
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027209049
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Interest in word-meaning is on the increase among mainstream linguists again after a half-century of neglect. During this interval progress in phonology and syntax was great, but further progress in these sub-disciplines will remain blocked until it is recognized that the prime functional unit of speech is the word, that the central problem of language theory is lexis. Word-meaning is typically complicated by changes across time; for a theory of language creativity, these effects must be discerned from spontaneous creation. The articles brought together in this volume attempt to illuminate, on the basis of particular lexical studies, the dynamics of perception and word-meaning, of language and mind.

Heaven That I Saw
Author: Reverend Doctor C S Nwachukwu
Publisher: LifeRich Publishing
ISBN: 1489737022
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
It was about 6:00 a.m. I saw Myself going up toward Heaven, and there was a Voice behind me explaining Things to me and answering My questions to and fro Heaven. It was October 2011 when C S Nwachukwu heard the voice of the Lord Jesus. As he was led into a remarkable conversation, his Savior answered many questions about the earth, sun, stars, galaxies, and the universe. The ultimate reward was that Nwachukwu saw heaven. In Heaven That I Saw, Nwachukwu shares poems inspired by his divine encounter that reach beyond the ocean’s black holes and the solar and planetary systems to provide insight into the beauty of heaven and the size of the universe, angels, the mystery of the four living creatures, and the twenty-four elders around the throne to encourage believers to seek God, the creator of all things, the source of all blessings, and the one and only trusted source of wisdom and power. Heaven That I Saw is a volume of uplifting poetry about the universe inspired by a conversation with God.
