Book Description
“Some things are better left unsaid, unless of course you find the right words.” Tiny Musings gives voice and words to those moments that get acknowledged silently. It’s a poetic nod to life and her eccentricities. Each piece captures the poetry in motion as it happens – be it the beautiful memories of togetherness in ‘Clothes Pegs’ or the magical intimacy of a conversation in ‘Over a Cup of Coffee.’ Some are thought provoking like ‘Let’s break the rules of beauty,’ as it questions and redefines the conventional premise of beauty in society while some tug at the heart strings like ‘Girlfriends’ which captures the unspoken camaraderie and sisterhood girlfriends share among themselves. ‘Here and now’ in a few lines brings you face to face with the banality of finding forevers in life. Flipping through the pages, you find yourself smiling, chuckling, longing and even reminiscing as you think about all that has gone by and all that can be. The fleeting moments find meaning, the heartbreaks find closure, the individuality gains precedence, and the absurd becomes amusing.

Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away
Author: Christie Watson
Publisher: Other Press, LLC
ISBN: 159051467X

Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
Winner of the 2011 Costa First Novel Award When their mother catches their father with another woman, twelve year-old Blessing and her fourteen-year-old brother, Ezikiel, are forced to leave their comfortable home in Lagos for a village in the Niger Delta, to live with their mother’s family. Without running water or electricity, Warri is at first a nightmare for Blessing. Her mother is gone all day and works suspiciously late into the night to pay the children’s school fees. Her brother, once a promising student, seems to be falling increasingly under the influence of the local group of violent teenage boys calling themselves Freedom Fighters. Her grandfather, a kind if misguided man, is trying on Islam as his new religion of choice, and is even considering the possibility of bringing in a second wife. But Blessing’s grandmother, wise and practical, soon becomes a beloved mentor, teaching Blessing the ways of the midwife in rural Nigeria. Blessing is exposed to the horrors of genital mutilation and the devastation wrought on the environment by British and American oil companies. As Warri comes to feel like home, Blessing becomes increasingly aware of the threats to its safety, both from its unshakable but dangerous traditions and the relentless carelessness of the modern world. Tiny Sunbirds, Far Away is the witty and beautifully written story of one family’s attempt to survive a new life they could never have imagined, struggling to find a deeper sense of identity along the way.

Humble Pie
Author: Anne Dimock
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 1449410693
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
In America, pie is a food--and a concept--that carries unusual resonance. In Humble Pie, Anne Dimock offers a delightful combination of memoir, pie quotes, inspiration, recipes, travel writing, and assorted philosophical, cultural, and culinary musings on this powerful yet humble dessert. Anne Dimock grew up in a household where, she notes, "A dearth of good pie was a hardship I never encountered, never knew must be borne up by most folk." When she realized that the decline of the American pie civilization might be a harbinger of even deeper cultural problems, Anne became a woman on a mission to save pie from extinction. Dimock shares her thoughts on the Zen of making pie crust, the politics of pie, judging a man's character according to his pie protocol, state fair pie competitions, the kinship between pie and baseball, and the search for edible pie at roadside diners. Folksy and full of humor, Humble Pie is more than just an evocative journey through a life lived in pie. It is a culinary manifesto for a pie renaissance, inviting readers to take up their rolling pins and revive an endangered slice of American culture. Dimock advises us all to "Roll back the apprehension, the doubt, and enter the childlike state of grace where all things are possible and anything lost can be found again. The pie you seek resides not only in memory and imagination--your next piece of pie begins right here."

Narrative and Meaning
Author: Joseph D. Lichtenberg
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351793349
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
Narrative and Meaning examines the role of both in contemporary psychoanalytic practice, bringing together a distinguished group of contributors from across the intersubjective, relational, and interpersonal schools of psychoanalytic thought. The contributions propose that narratives or stories in a variety of non-verbal and verbal forms are the foundation of mind, creativity, and the clinical dialogue. From the beginning of life, human experience gains expression through the integration of perception, cognition, memory and affect into mini or complex narratives. This core proposal is illustrated in chapters referencing creativity, psychoanalytic process, gesture, and sensory-motor activity, dreams, music, conflicting narratives in couples, imaginative stories of adopted children, identity, and individuality. Including a major revision in theory based upon an expanded definition of narrative, this book is an essential read for any contemporary psychoanalyst wishing to use narrative in their practice. Featuring essential theory and a wealth of practical clinical material, Narrative and Meaning will appeal greatly to both psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists.
