Poems from the Mud Room


Book Description

“Tantalizingly irreverent; Camner’s work smacks of the deliciously absurd with a point. He is a brilliantly bizarre poet and master of the surreal.” - Lenny DellaRocca The Poetry Museum “Camner defies the traditional aesthetic concepts of poetry. He targets a world of ideas in a rather active way as opposed to the more passive, meditative aspects found in most poetry. There is a linguistic simplicity to his poems, an almost transparent quality, over a rather complex web of experience and thought. His poetry is life... ‘All you have to do is look’ – The obvious and not so obvious.” - Marta Braunstein, editor Cambio Literary Journal “Camner writes in terse, stark, real verse that would make Hemingway raise his scotch glass in honor.” - New Times Newspaper “Camner’s poetic style is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler’s detective writing; descriptive and terse with interesting plot lines. His characters are certainly the product of a vivid imagination.” - The Comstock Review “Camner’s ‘humour noir’ is apparent in his poetics, his spirited voice and unabashed freedom – so alive, even in his earliest poems.” - Peter Hargitai “A literary detour, and well worth the trip.” - Village Voice




Heteroglossia and Language Play in Multilingual Speech


Book Description

The studies in this volume show how multilingual learners use language play in second language acquisition to internalize sets of ‘voices’ (rather than decontextualized linguistic systems), namely complexes of linguistic and non-linguistic features incorporating the personalities of significant others. In sociocultural terms, these internalized heteroglossic voices become tools that learners can adapt and use playfully to enact chosen roles, stances, and identities in subsequent oral interactions. Different chapters explore these sociocultural constructs using different approaches, including variationist sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, translanguaging, and positioning theory.




And the Angels Whispered...


Book Description

I believe some things in life are predestined and that we have the capabilities of discovering what they are utilizing Astrology, Numerology and other intuitive tools. Having kept a journal, I was able to validate my theory. In 1995 a "special" someone from my past had re-entered my life. This led me to question my marriage and the direction I was headed. I sought to find answers through psychics, tarot readers and God, but it wasn't until I looked within that I found what I was looking for; I found the person I wanted to become. The key was discovering the link to my higher self — intuition. It is the voice within I have come to trust and listen to on the path I have chosen to follow. Along the way, I have had to face certain fears: risking love in order to find what was missing in my life; monetary security; and being judged by others for my beliefs. However, the journey back to spiritual awareness has been worth it to find what was missing in my life. By sharing my story, I hope it inspires others to heighten their inner awareness utilizing ancient tools to gain a better understanding of their past, present and possibly their destiny.
