Pages : 287
Book Description
Do you want to get out of a bad situation? Read this book to see how Dixie did it. It isn't easy to end a relationship. Especially the first time is the hardest. But it can be done. Over the years when talking about myself to those who ask, several of those people have said, “You ought to write a book!” I already wrote Too Many Husbands, What Doesn’t Work in Love and Marriage. I went to counseling before I divorced all my husbands and I learned a lot. That book references all the books that helped me. If you want to get that help without going to a counselor, that is the book for you. This is my second book with the rest of the letters in BELLS to be written. I was never valued by my mother unless I had a boyfriend or a husband. Therefore, I always thought of myself with the different males in my life. I thought of them as just people who wanted sex from me such as my first steady, Rick; my first husband, Don Born; the boyfriends and upcoming husbands. You get the idea. But now, I think of them, both men and women, as friends I have had also.

Whitman Possessed
Author: Mark MaslanPublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 080187646X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Whitman has long been more than a celebrated American author. He has become a kind of hero, whose poetry vindicates beliefs not only about poetry but also about sexuality and power. In Whitman Possessed: Poetry, Sexuality, and Popular Authority, Mark Maslan presents a challenging theory of Whitman's poetics of possession and his understandings of individual and national identity. By reading his works in relation to nineteenth-century theories of sexual desire, poetic inspiration, and political representation, Maslan argues that the disintegration of individuality in Whitman's texts is not meant to undermine cultural hierarchies, but to make poetic and political authority newly viable. In particular, Maslan explores the social impact of nineteenth-century sexual hygiene literature on Whitman's works. He argues that Whitman developed his ideas about poetry, sexuality, and authority by responding to a prominent argument that desire subjected male bodies to a penetrating and feminizing force. By identifying poetic inspiration with this erotic dynamic, Whitman imbued his poetic voice with a kind of transformative power. Whitman aligned his poetry with an impartial authority hard to find elsewhere and inclined his work as a poet to speak for the voiceless, for the masses, and for an entire nation.
