A Calendar of Reckoning
Author: Dave Margoshes
Publisher: Coteau Books
ISBN: 1550509381
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
With careful attention to detail, and evocative turns of phrase, Dave Margoshes introspectively looks back on youth. Intriguing metaphors, reminiscent of pastoral imagery, create a sharp contrast between the heavy subject matter of one’s own mortality, and the beautiful, evocative comparisons between humanity and the rest of the animal kingdom, particularly birds and trees. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, is juxtaposed with the desire to give in to temptation, and become one with the world, as Margoshes makes most evident in his final poem, “Wisdom”, a fitting end to a collection that would have the reader struggling between reconciling their past and present.

China Dreams
Author: Jane Golley
Publisher: ANU Press
ISBN: 1760463744
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The year 2019 marked a number of significant anniversaries for the People’s Republic of China (PRC), each representing different ‘Chinese dreams’. There was the centennial of the May Fourth Movement — a dream of patriotism and cultural renewal. The PRC celebrated its seventieth anniversary — a dream of revolution and national strength. It was also thirty years since the student-led Protest Movement of 1989 — dreams of democracy and free expression crushed by government dreams of unity and stability. Many of these ‘dreams’ recurred in new guises in 2019. President Xi Jinping tightened his grip on power at home while calling for all citizens to ‘defend China’s honour abroad’. Escalating violence in Hong Kong, the ongoing suppression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and deteriorating Sino-US relations dominated the headlines. Alongside stories about China’s advances in artificial intelligence and geneticially modified babies and its ambitions in the Antarctic and outer space, these issues fuelled discussion about what Xi’s own ‘China Dream’ of national rejuvenation means for Chinese citizens and the rest of the world. The China Story Yearbook: China Dreams reflects on these issues and more. It surveys the dreams, illusions, aspirations, and nightmares that coexisted (and clashed) in 2019 in China and beyond. As ever, we take a cross-disciplinary perspective that recognises the inextricable links between economy, politics, culture, history, language, and society. The Yearbook, with its accessible analysis of the main events and trends of the year, is an essential tool for understanding China’s growing power and influence around the world.

Skryabin Mysterium
Author: Georgiana Peacher
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1413432751
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Georgiana Peacher's SKRYABIN MYSTERIUM is a work that begins before language. Its qualities tap bedrock in some dangerous, thrilling primordial slide out from under birdsong, clay flute, wind through foliage like the sound of fire like rain. These are poems born through suffering into words so spare they startle. The story they chart, the psychic marriage they intuit-the story of a young boy and a poet who greet each other at the door of time-is so imaginative and stunning that the reader is changed by its power, its griefs and joys, and the music, at times tragic, at others ecstatic, lingers now inside each of us. Peacher convinces that for the artist there is a stillness at the center of being, currents in the air around us, currents that pass through us here at the threshold of the present, the possible, where "pussywillow gray spirits charcoal sky"Deborah Digges Georgiana Peacher in Mary Stuart's Ravishment Descending Time may well have given us the greatest passage on yellow eyes ever written...Alexander Theroux

Look, I Made a Hat
Author: Stephen Sondheim
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 030759341X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
The second volume of Sondheim's collected lyrics is both a remarkable glimpse into the brilliant mind of a legend, and a continuation of the acclaimed and best-selling Finishing the Hat. Picking up where he left off in Finishing the Hat, Sondheim gives us all the lyrics, along with excluded songs and early drafts, of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Sunday in the Park with George, Into the Woods, Assassins and Passion. Here, too, is an in-depth look at the evolution of Wise Guys, which subsequently was transformed into Bounce and eventually became Road Show. Sondheim takes us through his contributions to both television and film, some of which may surprise you, and covers plenty of never-before-seen material from unproduced projects as well. There are abundant anecdotes about his many collaborations, and readers are treated to rare personal material in this volume, as Sondheim includes songs culled from commissions, parodies and personal special occasions—such as a hilarious song for Leonard Bernstein’s seventieth birthday. As he did in the previous volume, Sondheim richly annotates his lyrics with invaluable advice on songwriting, discussions of theater history and the state of the industry today, and exacting dissections of his work, both the successes and the failures. Filled with even more behind-the-scenes photographs and illustrations from Sondheim’s original manuscripts, Look, I Made a Hat is fascinating, devourable and essential reading for any fan of the theater or this great man’s work.
