Lyric Postmodernisms

Release : 2008
Category : American poetry

Book Description
Poetry. LYRIC POSTMODERNISMS gathers many well established poets whose work transcends the boundaries between traditional lyric and avant-garde experimentation. Some have been publishing since the 1960s, some have emerged more recently, but all have been influential on newer generations of American poets. Many of these poets are usually not thought of together, being considered as members of different poetic "camps," but they nonetheless participate in a common project of expanding the boundaries of what can be said and done in poetry. This anthology sheds new light on their work, creating a new constellation of contemporary American poetry. This collection provides an opportunity for readers to get to know the work of many writers who may not have received the attention their work and its impact on newer writers deserve. Unlike many anthologies that offer only snippets of writers' work, it contains substantial selections from each poet. Uniquely, it also includes aesthetic statements from each author, which can offer an entryway for readers unfamiliar with the work. Contributors: Nathaniel Mackey, Suzanne Paola, Bin Ramke, Donald Revell, Martha Ronk, Aaron Shurin, Carol Snow, Susan Stewart, Cole Swensen, Rosmarie Waldrop, Marjorie Welish, Elizabeth Willis, Bruce Beasley, Martine Bellen, Mei-mei Berssenbrugge, Gillian Conoley, Kathleen Fraser, Forrest Gander, C. S. Giscombe, Peter Gizzi, Brenda Hillman, Claudia Keelan, Timothy Liu.

Caught Between Words

File Size : 21,57 MB
Release : 2010-07
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
ISBN : 1453538607
Book Description
"Caught Between Words" is a serious attempt to uncover some key words within the author and their meanings, which have been a recurring leitmotif in his life. "Caught Between Words" is also an emotional stance portrayed with words and the role they have played out in making him what he is today. The book is a rosary of words, alphabetically arranged, sometimes subtly funny, other times serene, disturbing, soul-searching, and existential, but most of all, a serious innermost debate with himself, others, and the world. Also, it is an effort to reorder his world in such a way that that personal reordering might elicit some kind of alignment in itself, with the meanings he gives to it.

Book Description
Fear is a killer in our society. It maims, destroys, and shows no mercy to its victims. Like a hurricane that can’t be stopped, a towering inferno that can’t be quenched, and a deadly plague that kills at an alarming rate, it leaves you helpless, hopeless and crying for mercy. Fear forces you to hide behind negative coping mechanisms, imaginary walls and powerful mind-games that steal your health, wealth and emotional freedom. To survive, you make a pact with them to weather life’s horrifying storms. But when you choose to face the pain from your past with honesty, courage and faith, you experience emotional healing, enter into the Promised Land of peace and rest and taste revival rather than survival. You are not destined to merely exist in a desert wasteland and emotional graveyard all of your life. You were created to live in a paradise that embraces abundant living, peace and joy. Once you learn how powerful love is, you’ll learn to thrive and realize you’ll never have any reason to dwell in a prison of fear again because it is your mission to slay fear and embrace pure love in your relationships. The Promised Land today can be found in a pure heart and it awaits you if you choose to die to your fears and dare to love with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. I encourage you to choose the way of love, not fear, because perfect love casts out all fear! You have a rendezvous with your divine destiny and it’s waiting for you here within the pages of your life that follow. I commission you now to go after your emotional freedom, my friend, and do not allow anyone or anything to stop you. Enjoy the journey! Victor Torres Armed4Battle.com & Perfectlovecastsoutallfear.com
