BedTimeStories
What pops into your head before you try to fall asleep? Five baby pickles, rubber duckies, 13 days of rain, the Lincoln Tunnel, a G-String and dancing cows are some of the ideas that pop into Barbara Worton's head. So, she picks up a pen and notebook, writes down those words and keeps going for three pages. She calls this technique, which she learned from The Artist's Way by Julian Cameron and Mark Bryan, sleepwriting.Sleepwriting is Barbara's way of talking herself to sleep. It's a conversation that takes place in her head. Fortunately, she has put all that private talk down on paper. For those who read Bedtime Stories, it's a call to see ordinary things, people and places in refreshing ways. Barbara and her tales give us a range of emotional permission. These are tales of love, nostalgia, sex, wishes, growing-up and the absurd; tales to start you dreaming or rev your creative engine, and tales you'll never forget.
A Taste
Poetry. This unusual and varied collection of poems shows the poet's artistry in several forms—lyrical, comical, contemplative, inquisitive, erotic, aphoristic, cynical, playful, negative, affirmative. A reader will be constantly awakened to a new way of expressing a mood or an idea. Throughout these separate journeys, however, one thing will stand out over and over: This is a highly imaginative and extremely intelligent poet. The poems match manner to matter. Life, up against the wall.
The Rhapsodes
Pauline Kael, Andrew Sarris, and Roger Ebert were three of America's most revered and widely read film critics, more famous than many of the movies they wrote about. But their remarkable contributions to the burgeoning American film criticism of the 1960s and beyond were deeply influenced by four earlier critics: Otis Ferguson, James Agee, Manny Farber, and Parker Tyler. Film scholar and critic David Bordwell restores to a wider audience the work of Ferguson, Agee, Farber, and Tyler, critics he calls the 'Rhapsodes' for the passionate and deliberately offbeat nature of their vernacular prose.
Time is the Fire
Time Is The Fire recounts a day in the existence of Leopold Bloom O Boyle, chronophobe, travel writer, would-be novelist, and husband of the Reverend Annabel Chance. The day is September 8, 1992, and the place is Harvard Square and environs. Like his namesake, Leo dips into and out of a stream of consciousness as he considers and reconsiders the most important decision of his life.
Kunuar
Kunuar is a volume of fifty-two poems framed by the feminist and postcolonial sensibilities of the Portuguese author, Luísa Coelho. In a painful but playful manner she describes her re-discovery, in a post-colonial era, of Luanda, the capital of Angola, the country of her birth. Memory crafts a vivid dialogue between today and yesterday that sheds light on the remains of colonial Luanda s history. Kunuar, the title of both the book and the concluding poem, refers to the small spots on the street where secondhand clothes are sold to the large penniless population of Luanda. The image of a poor mother distressed because she cannot afford even castoff clothes becomes an icon of the poverty of ...
In Scripture
Applying psychoanalytic and gender theory to selected Biblical narratives from Genesis to the Book of Ruth, Lefkovitz interprets the Bible's stories as foundation texts in the development of sexual identities. In Scripture is an exploration of the Biblical origins of a series of unstable ideas about the sexes, human sexuality, family roles, and Jewish sexual identities, in particular, and by extension, changing attitudes towards Jewish men and women.
