With Nothing Behind But Sky
Poems in Perie Longo's book, With Nothing Behind But Sky: a journey through grief, cover a nine year period from the diagnosis of her husbands leukemia, through his treatment, death and beyond showing how time changes grief, and how the relationship of a husband and wife continues even after death, always there like the sky, which offers hope even when life seems darkest.
Ways of Being Dead
David Starkey published his first poem in 1988, and for the past 18 years he has been a fixture of the American small press. While Starkey's poetry has appeared in hundreds of literary journals and a number of limited edition books and chapbooks, this is the first time his major work has been collected in a single volume. Readers acquainted with Starkey's poems will recognize his wry voice, impeccable ear, and wide range of form and subject matter. New readers will find much to admire in the writing of this accomplished yet underappreciated poet.
Charm School
Homer's Odyssey springs to life in comically witty, psychologically rich poetry full of epic resonance in Randall J. VanderMey's Charm School: Five Women of the Odyssey (Artamo Press, 2007). In dramatic monologues and dialogues, the drama of Odysseus's long-delayed homecoming from the Trojan War is told as a series of encounters with five strong women: Circe, Calypso, Nausicaa, Athena, and Penelope. The famed encounters are there--the Cyclops, the Lotus Eaters, the Clashing Rocks, the descent into the Underworld--but the real story here is one of seduction, faithfulness, devotion to duty, and the ultimate testing of love. Who is the greater hero in the end: tardy Odysseus or long-suffering Penelope? Though full of contemporary references, Charm School is true to its Homeric source; it will make a thought-provoking addition to any course in Greek mythology.
Therapeutic Journal Writing
The author of this book guides the reader through developing journal writing to use as a therapeutic tool. Keeping a journal can help the writer to develop a better understanding of themselves, their relationships and the world around them, as well as improve skills of problem-solving, decision-making and planning. As such, journal writing can be a powerful complement to verbal therapy, offering an effective and affordable way of extending support to troubled clients. The book includes advice on working with individuals, facilitating a therapeutic writing group, proposed clinical applications, practical techniques, useful journal prompts, exercises and case vignettes.
The Ethics of Preventive War
In this book, eleven leading theorists debate the normative challenges of preventive war through the lens of important public and political issues of war and peace in the twenty-first century. Their discussion covers complex and topical subjects including terrorism, the 'Bush doctrine' and the invasion of Iraq, Iran's nuclear capabilities, superpower unilateralism and international war tribunals. They examine the moral conundrum of preventive intervention and emphasize the need for a stronger and more effective international legal and political order and a corresponding re-evaluation of the normative status of international law. Together their essays form a challenging and timely volume that will be of interest to scholars in ethics and political philosophy, political theory, international relations, international law and peace studies and to general readers interested in the broader issues of peace and justice in the new world order.
A Few Things You Should Know About the Weasel
David Starkey's A Few Things You Should Know About the Weasel is a far-ranging and fearless collection, of great humour, intelligence and sympathy. Ranging through philosophy, art and history -- both global and domestic -- these poems skillfully chronicle the darkness that is our current age and condition, and the pinpricks of light thta may show us the way out.
