Deep Well
Poetry. California Interest. DEEP WELL, Dan Bellm's fourth collection of poems, is an extended homage and elegy for a mother lost to Alzheimer's Disease in 2010. The sequence is a book of memory and consolation, combining formal precision with plain speech, and interwoven with Bellm's translations of six related poems from Spanish and French. Poet David St. John writes, "These lyrics of memoriam and these deep songs (in Lorca's sense) of mourning seem almost to etch themselves onto the air. Keep this book at hand; hold its passages close. This is an essential collection of poetry."
Speaking in Song
Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Dan Bellm. Among the most ambitious and varied work of Pura L�pez Colom�'s distinguished career, SPEAKING IN SONG displays the poet's extraordinary range and musicality, conducting philosophical interrogations of the natural world--and one's story, history, and place in it--in the context of hearing and memory, and in the form of song. Many of the poems have been set to music by composers from Mexico, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Leading Pharmaceutical Operational Excellence
Achieving operational excellence is a challenge for the pharmaceutical industry, with many companies setting successful examples time and again. This book presents such leading practices for managing operational excellence throughout the pharmaceutical industry. Based on the St.Gallen OPEX Model the authors describe the current status of OPEX and the future challenges that have to be dealt with. The ample theoretical background is complemented hand-in-hand by case studies contributed by authors from leading pharmaceutical companies.
Counting
In the title poem of Dan Bellm's Counting, a circle of rabbis in Talmudic times confess to each other ruefully, "I have never in my life prayed with intention...." "I have been counting chickens...." "I have been counting the layers of stone in the wall...." These poems, on a seeking-and-straying spiritual quest of their own, count and recount the layers of days in a life, ranging widely from yearning, elegy and political outrage to passion, devotion, and gratitude.
One Hand on the Wheel
Poetry. Gay and Lesbian Studies. A gay son's troubled homage to his father, ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL is also the first book in the new California Poetry Series by Roundhouse Press a new imprint of Hayday Books. In a series of linked poems, a gay son at his father's deathbed (no accident/ it's me, Dad, your mortal enemy and friend . . . ) uncovers his family's past and his own passage from childhood to raising a son. Singular, fresh . . . [Dan Bellm] is an American artist of enormous gifts and discipline - June Jordan. Dan Bellm's courageous and human poems are a strong inauguration for the California Poetry Series. A very fine book - Adrienne Rich.
Buried Treasure
Poetry. LGBT Studies. Winner of 1998 CSU Poetry Center Prize. "This stunning book is fiercely alive, and awake to the self as both singular and inextricably part of the whole—to the body as one in a field of yearning and failing human forms. 'Delle Avenue' is—and I don't say this lightly—a great poem of city life, of the confluence of memory and history and voice which city streets are. Dan Bellm's genuine authority and his vulnerable, almost physical presence on the page lead us, somehow, to connection with what is larger, more ongoing, than any single person is; he sings the anxious and lovely story of his place and time."—Mark Doty
Description of a Flash of Cobalt Blue
DESCRIPTION OF A FLASH OF COBALT BLUE, Jorge Esquinca's moving elegy for his father, is a journey toward the Pacific coast of Mexico and through the Parisian cityscape, through memory and imagination, grief and love. A narrative poem in twenty-four linked passages, it is one of Esquinca's most intimate and evocative works. DESCRIPTION OF A FLASH OF COBALT BLUE appears here for the first time in English. "DESCRIPTION OF A FLASH is an intimate experience--the reader is allowed in on personal memories, often rendered in imagistic bursts, and allowed access to the poet's personal pantheon of writers. Bellm's translations are in keeping with this intimacy..."--Kelsi Vanada, Rain Taxi Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Dan Bellm. Bilingual Edition.
The Three Blessings
In the traditional Jewish liturgy, a man thanks God daily for not having been made a gentile, a woman, or a slave. Yoel Kahn traces the history of this prayer from its extra-Jewish origins to the present, demonstrating how different generations and communities understood the significance of these words.Marginalized and persecuted groups used this prayer to mark the boundary between "us" and "them," affirming their own identity and sense of purpose. After the medieval Church seized and burned books it considered offensive, new, coded formulations of the three blessings emerged as forms of spiritual resistance. Book owners voluntarily expurgated the passage to save the books from being destroy...
Teaching Expertise in Three Countries
"While many of us assume that experience makes teachers better at their jobs, remarkably little research has been done to understand how teachers develop expertise and how it affects their teaching. In Teaching Expertise in Three Countries, Akiko Hayashi gives us a remarkable look at the careers of teachers over the course of more than fifteen years. Not only does her research cover a remarkable timespan, it also studies teachers from three national contexts: Japan, China, and the United States. Hayashi builds on the research that began with Joseph Tobin et al.'s celebrated 1991 book Preschool in Three Cultures, examining six teachers profiled in Tobin's 2009 follow up Preschool in Three Cul...
