Book Description
"I see the best souls of my sex thrive despite the madness,defiant Aphrodites rising above the sea,naked in their wakefulness, determined to love in the charge of night and the terror of the day . . ."With language both piercing and uplifting, Mary Dezember explores the importance of creative expression and of finding a voice in hurtful or oppressive situations and to question hegemony - with the realization that the embracing of life happens through the alchemy of forgiveness.Graced with cover art painted by her nephew, Steve Dezember II, using his wheelchair, the book includes poems about or in tribute to courageous life-embracing innovators, such as Steve and his wife, Hope, Allen Ginsberg, Rosalind Franklin, and Georgia O'Keeffe.The title poem "Still Howling" and the poem "Endnote to Still Howling" are an homage to Allen Ginsberg and to his poems "Howl" and "Footnote to Howl," in celebration of their publication 60 years ago, in 1956, and a tribute to his publisher, City Lights Publishers, and to Allen's influences, namely Walt Whitman, but, as Dezember states in this collection, "mostly to Allen and what he gave us - the right to howl.""Still Howling" and "Endnote to Still Howling" are the First Place Winner of the Best Beat Poem Contest, 2016, sponsored by Beatlick Press. They were first published by the journal Cacti Fur.

Hannah Fowler
Author: Janice Holt Giles
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 9780813108100
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
In the novel Hannah Fowler, Janice Holt Giles created a pioneer woman who would, In Giles's words, "endow her own physical seed with her strength and courage, and her own tenderness and love." First published in 1956, this work is the second in Giles's series of historical novels on Kentucky, which includes The Kentuckians and The Believers. Samuel Moore and his daughter Hannah set out for the border country with a party led by George Rogers Clark but left to follow the Kentucky River to Boones' Fort. As the story opens, Hannah is nursing her father, injured when an axe slips and cuts his leg. By the time Tice Fowler, on his way to Logan's Fort, stumbles upon them alone in the wilderness, Samuel is dying from blood poisoning. When Samuel dies, Tice takes Hannah to the fort, where women are scarce, and Hannah finds herself besieged by suitors. Only with Tice, as silent and downright as herself, does Hannah feel at ease. Finally, she turns to the bashful Tice and asks him to marry her and take her away from the crowded fort. Together, they take their claim to land, build a cabin, and start a family. They endure the harsh frontier life, the threat of hungry wolves, a killing blizzard, and Indian raids. Hannah is an unforgettable character -- tall, physically and psychologically strong, the epitome of frontier womanhood -- brought to life by a woman who knew and loved the Kentucky people and setting about which she wrote. Janice Holt Giles (1905-1979), author of nineteen books, lived and wrote near Knifley, Kentucky, for thirty-four years. Her biography is told in Janice Holt Giles: A Writer's Life.
