Prayer of the World
Prayer of the World opens a window into an astonishingly beautiful world, showing life as a vast prayer in which we live and breathe. Through poetry and luminous photographs, it brings forth the voices of earth, sea, sky, and the entire web of life. From star fire to water’s blue stillness, from eagle’s soaring flight to canary’s solemn teaching comes the plea: “Join the prayer; the web is greatly strained.” Kathleen Maia and Ken traveled to many sites in the United States and beyond—she with her pen and notebook, and he with his camera. As their pilgrimage continued, they realized that the poetry and photography together created a stunning whole, a vibrant expression of Earth’s life and Earth’s plea: “Give back to the web; add your voice to the song. Join the Prayer of the World.” As alarm, anxiety, and upheaval escalate across the globe, Prayer of the World raises not only Earth’s lament, but also Earth’s great hope: “All is connected in a living breathing web…the living pulse of energy that flows through all creation—each pulse a prayer.” To learn more about Prayer of the World visit: www.prayeroftheworld.org

Writing and Identity
Writing is not just about conveying 'content' but also about the representation of self. (One of the reasons people find writing difficult is that they do not feel comfortable with the 'me' they are portraying in their writing. Academic writing in particular often poses a conflict of identity for students in higher education, because the 'self' which is inscribed in academic discourse feels alien to them.)The main claim of this book is that writing is an act of identity in which people align themselves with socio-culturally shaped subject positions, and thereby play their part in reproducing or challenging dominant practices and discourses, and the values, beliefs and interests which they em...
