The History of Eternity by James E. Winder (7 Reviews)    Price verified 12 minutes ago

You cannot help but wonder what and why you are. The History of Eternity is a book that again and again answers these questions, as it celebrates the tragic joy of wonder at the enigma of your existence. There will always be a clamoring after elusive fact. There will always be a hankering for some durable theory that will explain the fact. There will always be an inability to match the one wholly with the other. Because something is always left out, there will always persist a stubbornly invisible and intractable remainder. And this remainder, this dark matter behind every thought, behind every desire, behind every joy, behind every sorrow, will continue to populate your universe with wonder. Read this book, if you will, and share that wonder. You are born into a conspiracy of significance, already entangled with your equally lonely others. The history of eternity, the tension between nowhere and now here, defines the struggle between the life you are living now and whatever there ...

The Aeneid, Book Twelve: Latin Text, with an Introduction and Latin Prose Version and English Summaries (Aeneid Prose Versions 5) by Sean Gabb (Centre for Ancient Studies) Price verified 6 hours ago

This book contains the complete text of Aeneid XII, together with a rendering into Latin prose and a running summary of the whole in English. Its main intended audience is International Baccalaureate students, for whom this is one of the set texts; as well as A-Level Latin students in England, for whom it will be a set text in 2022 and 2023. A larger and less easily defined audience is anyone, in any time or place, who wants to read Vergil, but whose Latin is not ready for the challenge. I have reordered the words in a more obvious sequence. I have replaced many words with more natural alternatives. I have supplied pronouns and verbs and prepositions that could not be fitted into the metrical structure. I have broken up the paragraphs, and formatted the whole as if it were a novel. The advantage is that the result is still Latin. It is Latin that most A-Level and IB students will be able to read without too much looking in a dictionary -- and not too much headscratching thereafter. ...

Monkey Screams by Robert Joe Stout (FutureCycle Press) (1 Review)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

Monkey Screams thrusts the horrors, the idiosyncrasies, the fallacies of the War in Vietnam into the vividly personal reactions of participants whose fears, accomplishments and shame burst forth in descriptions that surpass journalism or propaganda. They are both confessions and recriminations, yearnings for home and struggles to make sense out of the senseless. In similar fashion the second section of these poetical narratives reflects the anxieties, conflicts, resolutions of the succeeding generation: life as it is contrasted with what life could or should be. Telephone linemen, football coaches, foreign-born account clerks wrestle limitations imposed by laws and society, proud of their achievements yet poignantly aware of what is missing in their lives. The third and final section pushes into the present through the eyes, thoughts and imaginings of a journalist nearing the end of his career. Poems of acceptance, of remembrance, little details of life that never important before ...

THE POETRY KING by G. C. Schop (THESCHOPCOM, LLC) (7 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

G. C. Schop's latest work, The Poetry King, is a thematic collection of poems whereby he swears, "... were handed to him from somewhere atop Mount Helicon" (even though he has never been there). Nonetheless, Schop's words come from his heart and soul if not directly from the Heliconian muses themselves. The work explores and meditates on the human notions of creativity and love in a playful typeset format that celebrates books in English from the early 1600s, more specifically Shakespeare's sonnets and first folio. Avery Peerson climbs to the top of a mountain and attempts the unthinkable: to quiet the king of poetry. This rude interruption of the ultimate invocation fortuitously enacts a play of poems that reveals the true nature of love and a poet's many loves and inspirations. Both ephemeral and eternal yet in constant change, love lives within this poetic paradoxical juxtaposition. All are welcome here. Come along with muses and goddesses and listen every person!

Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times by Zhiyi Yang (University of Michigan Press) Price verified 10 hours ago

Wang Jingwei, poet and politician, patriot and traitor, has always been a figure of major academic and popular interest. Until now, his story has never been properly told, let alone critically investigated. The significance of his biography is evident from an ongoing war on cultural memory: modern mainland China prohibits serious academic research on wartime collaboration in general, and on Wang Jingwei in particular. At this critical juncture, when the recollection of World War II is fading from living memory and transforming into historical memory, this knowledge embargo will undoubtedly affect how China remembers its anti-fascist role in WWII. In Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times, Zhiyi Yang brings us a long overdue reexamination of Wang's impact on cultural memory of WWII in China. In this book, Yang brings disparate methodologies into a fruitful dialogue, including sophisticated methods of poetic interpretation. The author argues that Wang's lyric ...

Amsterdam. Motion & Posture (Italian Edition) by Alberto Pian (Amsterdam. Motion & Posture) (8 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Il movimento frenetico, un po' surreale e un po' assurdo di Amsterdam mi è sembrato una sorta di legame chimico che salda le persone e gli oggetti insieme alle loro "posizioni". Quando mi sono accorto di questa mia specifica impressione (non so fino a che punto potrebbe essere condivisa), che questo aspetto della città sembrava trasmettermi, ho scattato delle fotografie seguendo questo preciso filone. Le immagini fotografiche congelano un istante, perciò non rappresentano il movimento in quanto successione e sviluppo dinamico. Tuttavia possono congelare un istante che ha a che fare con il movimento. Ho cercato di rappresentare questo legame fra persone, oggetti e posizioni, nel quadro di un movimento cittadino che mi è parso astratto e senza soste.

The Buddhist Poetry of the Great Kamo Priestess: Daisaiin Senshi and Hosshin Wakashu (Michigan Monograph Series in Japanese Studies Book 5) by Edward Kamens (U of M Center For Japanese Studies) (5 Reviews)    Price verified 13 hours ago

Senshi was born in 964 and died in 1035, in the Heian period of Japanese history (794-1185). Most of the poems discussed here are what may loosely be called Buddhist poems, since they deal with Buddhist scriptures, practices, and ideas. For this reason, most of them have been treated as examples of a category or subgenre of waka called Shakkyoka, "Buddhist poems." Yet many Shakkyoka are more like other poems in the waka canon than they are unlike them. In the case of Senshi's "Buddhist poems," their language links them to the traditions of secular verse. Moreover, the poems use the essentially secular public literary language of waka to address and express serious and relatively private religious concerns and aspirations. In reading Senshi's poems, it is as important to think about their relationship to the traditions and conventions of waka and to other waka texts as it is to think about their relationship to Buddhist thoughts, practices, and texts. The Buddhist Poetry of the Great ...

I have many influences musically and enjoy songwriters that tell a story, such as Bono(U2), Lennon, Dylan, Bowie and many others. I do not profess to anywhere near their league in fact a million miles away from them. I write to release myself from the everyday crap that goes on in the world and as a sense of peace to myself. This book is rather dark and naïve in its content and I was apprehensive whether to publish, but if you don't try, you don't know! So please enjoy.

Home by Uvi Poznansky (Uviart) (57 Reviews)    Price verified 6 hours ago

Home. A simple word; a loaded one. You can say it in a whisper; you can say it in a cry. Expressed in the voices of father and daughter, you can hear a visceral longing, in poems and prose, for an ideal place. A place never to be found again. Imagine the shock, imagine the sadness when a daughter discovers her father's work, the poetry he had never shared with anyone during the last two decades of his life. Six years after that moment of discovery, which happened in her childhood home while mourning for his passing, Uvi Poznansky presents a tender tribute: a collection of poems and prose, half of which is written by her, and half -- by her father, the author, poet and artist Zeev Kachel. She has been translating his poems for nearly a year, with careful attention to rhyme and rhythm, in an effort to remain faithful to the spirit of his words. Zeev's writing is always autobiographical in nature; you can view it as an ongoing diary of his life. Uvi's writing is rarely so, especially ...

We tend to realize many things when we look back but not when we are facing it. This simple truth has haunted ever since I could remember. Why is it that we don't realize present? Why do we miss when we loose? Our brain is a tiny creature fogged and clogged to think straight when presented with a situation. But somehow it gets mighty when we do realize. It is like a parent, guiding us in the right path by first allowing us to commit mistakes and then realize.

Certain things we learn at a very tender age not really understanding the ocean of knowledge ...

Flaming Child (Un'immodesta proposta Book 6) by Filippo Parodi (Polimnia Digital Editions) (7 Reviews)    Price verified 14 hours ago

To float next to our inner child. To touch him by touching ourselves. To go as far as to lose ourselves into a "border vagueness", in "the glare of a nebulous frontier". This is the path between perceptiveness, psychoanalysis and magic which Filippo Parodi has undertaken by revisiting a wearing past, a gloom concealing ego traps and blaming archetypes. And through that darkness, beside the child - first angry, then an encouraging guide - the author walked, until he found a space of possible release. Hence his poetic testimony, almost in direct contact with the rapprochement process (and sometimes reconciliation) with childhood. A writing style more corporeal and immediate than his previous works. A writing in which the ancient desire to take off and play the game, even in the clear awareness of the inescapable travail of existence, resurfaces.
