And how to End it
Author: Brian Clements
Publisher: Quale Press
ISBN: 0979299942
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
Poetry. This collection of prose poems explores the expansiveness of language as it ranges over particle physics and cosmology, and in how texts network with other texts (some of the poems were generated from other texts, from Google searches, through "interactions" with random texts). Interstitial poems between sections provide structure for the book; built entirely from language that appears elsewhere in the book, they progress according to the Fibonacci sequence, which determines first the number of words in each poem, then the number of words and the number of syllables as the numbers grow larger. Also available from SPD is Brian Clements's collection DISAPPOINTED PSALMS. He edits the small press Firewheel Editions and its Sentence: A Journal of Prose Poetics and coordinates the MFA in Professional Writing at Western Connecticut State University.

Dangerous Families
Author: Matt Bernstein Sycamore
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136572430
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Queer survivors piece together the clues to discover their own lives! Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving goes beyond the recovery narrative to create a new queer literature of investigation, exploration, and transformation. Twenty-six stories illuminate the reality of growing up in fear, struggling to rebuild lives damaged by sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. The book explores how abuse turns queer survivors—male, female, and transgendered—into healers, heartbreakers, and homicidal maniacs, presenting brilliant stories that sear and soar. Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving addresses all forms of abuse head-on, representing a cross-section of queer survivors in terms of race, class, ethnicity, education, origin, sexuality, and gender. Contributors use their own life experiences to create a book that takes back control from well-meaning “outsiders,” as they recount the daily struggle to overcome the damage done to their minds, bodies, and spirits in a world that denies their gender, sexual, and social identities. From the editor: “Dangerous Families consists entirely of writing by survivors of childhood abuse. That's right—no therapists analyzing our plight, no talk-show hosts exploiting us—just survivors, exploring our complicated, frightening, and fulfilling lives. These stories dispense with the usual technique of carefully massaging the reader's fragile worldview before plunging this unsuspecting innocent into a world of horror. They go right to the horror, the beauty, and the joy, often throwing the reader off-guard, revealing layers of meaning before the reader can step back.” Dangerous Families: Queer Writing on Surviving is an anthology of 26 true stories of growing up queer in families that magnify the horrors of the outside world instead of offering protection. The book is an essential read for therapists, caseworkers, cultural studies specialists, and anyone struggling to survive childhood abuse.

West of the American Dream
Author: Paul Christensen
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 9780890967539
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
"West of the American Dream is a multifaceted account of the search. Christensen shares his feelings of culture shock in east-central Texas as he meets the cowboy version of the blue-collar Texan and his Mexican American neighbours. He introduces readers to the convoluted history of poetry in Texas, a tradition, started by women, that shifted from a focus on the land to the quotidian habits of urban living. Using a unique dissection of the public ritual of a poetry reading, Christensen assesses the origins of modern poetry, the value of imagination in modernist and postmodernist verse, and what Texas poets achieved and how their work evolved after World War II."--Jacket.
