The Soul of the Nurse
The nurse is central to healthcare and has always been the most prominent figure in times of vulnerability throughout the life cycle. The Soul of the Nurse uncovers the complexity of the nurse by tracing her origins as far back as Neolithic times. The author explains how, over time, the nurse image has been split into one-dimensional disguises ranging from angelic heroine to sex object. Without moralizing or dividing the good from the bad, this book investigates the dynamic energy of the nurse archetype and uncovers what has been lost through splits, repressions, and distortions. Mythology, folklore, archeology, and popular culture are explored, while considering history and archetypal psychology, revealing new insights into the vast capacities of the nurse. Through personal and collective stories, The Soul of the Nurse reveals why the nurse captivates the imagination and is the most trusted professional in society.
The Poethical Wager
Annotation The interrelated essays in this book explore the coming together of ethics and poetics in literatures that engage with their contemporary moments to become wagers on the future of meaning. The central concern of The Poethical Wager is the relation of poetics to agency in a chaotic world.
On Ghosts
Poetry. "This book is continuing a tradition of Neo-Spiritualist literature in America where the poem is the means of divination. The poem is a map of a world where ghosts and unattributed thinkers and writers haunt and intrude and give signals to the world next to us. This is an occupation for all poets, the most secular to the most conceptual and the most experiential and spontaneous. If words appear in prose here in these pages, they are still the production of a New Spiritualist poet who feels the presences and wants to tell us about them." Fanny Howe "Elizabeth Robinson's ON GHOSTS returns us to the haunted aura around words. Here, a crossing of genres poetry, prose meditation, personal testimony shows that language itself amounts to a gathering of ghosts. Robinson's oblique lyricism beckons us toward a twilight zone where we become 'witness to the unverifiable.' This is writing as the highest form of bewitching." Andrew Joron"
There Are No Goodbyes
WHAT IF WE NEVER REALLY LOSE THOSE WE CARE ABOUT? WHAT IF THERE REALLY ARE NO GOODBYES? From a young age, trained counsellor, Elizabeth Robinson, was aware of being able to sense and know beyond the five senses. Her ability to see ‘beyond the veil’ into the spiritual realm has allowed her to effectively illuminate and articulate what holds people back from expressing their true potential. We live in a society that teaches us that contact with those who have passed does not exist; we have a medical model that, for the most part, labels these as aberrant experiences, is finite and, frequently, judgmental. In her work, Elizabeth combines conventional wisdom with knowledge gleaned from beyon...
Rumor
Robinson’s ambition in Rumor is enormous—to understand the problem of violence, to understand how power subjugates bodies and souls and turns them to use. In the world these poems inhabit, language itself is a violent power tool, a buzzsaw, precise, ruthless, and often wrong. Yet language’s instability allows Robinson to turn it on itself to question categories such as gender. Through brooding, bloody, clearwater analysis, through delicate, brutally uncertain self-questioning, Robinson’s poems create a frictive warmth that’s not comfortable, but rousing. —Catherine Wagner Elizabeth Robinson has long been probing the interplay of the personal with the abstract or, as she has put i...
Elizabeth Goes to Mars!
Elizabeth is a precocious middle-school-age student who loves science. In Elizabeth Goes to Mars! she is watching a documentary on going to Mars and falls asleep. She starts dreaming of an actual trip to Mars. Her adventure with her dog, Rigel, reflects just a few of the challenges we will face if we want to live on Mars.
The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters
The bestselling status (and subsequent blockbuster film adaptations) of Bridget Jones's Diary and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood is proof of the enduring strength of this category. Although the novel is invented, Robinson is a successful Hollywood producer whose credits include Braveheart and Last Orders.
