Moving On

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
To be honest, I wasted a lot of time stuck in the past I couldn't focus on the present. I wasted a lot of time thinking about my misfortunes I couldn't see any of my blessings. At the same time, I'm still trying to move forward. I let go, or at least I'm in the process of letting go. All of the people who hurt me or caused me some kind of distress, whether we dated, were related, went to school together, or however we met... it doesn't matter. If I wanted to make you mine, but you rejected me, that's fine too. I forgive you. I'm not going to f*ck with half of ya'll ever again, which is all right. I don't need to. I want to close that chapter we had and proceed with better in life. I want to stop being angry. I want to lighten up a little. I won't ever have any peace if I don't let go of my grudges.

'This is valuable writing. It has immense vitality. You will encounter a female narrator whose direct and bright-eyed stare at the world, and her self, is without shame or faux modesty.

Rough Draft
Author: Emily Holmes Coleman
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1611493765
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Rough Draft: The Modernist Diaries of Emily Holmes Coleman, 1929-1937 is an edited selection, published here for the first time, of the diaries kept by American poet and novelist Coleman during her years as an expatriate in the modernist hubs of France and England. During her time abroad, Coleman developed as a surrealist writer, publishing a novel, The Shutter of Snow, and poems in little magazines like transition. She also began her life's work, her diary, which was sustained for over four decades. This portion of the diary is set against the cultural, social, and political milieu of the early twentieth century in the throes of industrialization, commercialization, and modernization. It showcases Coleman's often larger-than-life, intense personality as she interacted with a multitude of literary, artistic, and intellectual figures of the period like Djuna Barnes, Peggy Guggenheim, Antonia White, John Holms, George Barker, Edwin Muir, Cyril Connolly, Arthur Waley, Humphrey Jennings, Dylan Thomas, and T.S. Eliot. The book offers Coleman's lively, raw, and often iconoclastic account of her complex social network. The personal and professional encouragements, jealousies, and ambitions of her friends unfolded within a world of limitless sexual longing, supplies of alcohol, and aesthetic discussions. The diary documents the disparate ways Coleman celebrated, just as she consistently struggled to reconcile, her multiple identities as an artistic, intellectual, maternal, sexual, and spiritual woman. Rough Draft contributes to the growing modernist canon of life writings of both female and male participants whose autobiographies, memoirs, and diaries offer diverse accounts of the period, like Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company, and Robert McAlmon and Kay Boyle's Being Geniuses Together.

The Journal of Jules Renard
Author: Jules Renard
Publisher: Tin House Books
ISBN: 1941040829
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
Spanning 1887 to a month before his death in 1910, The Journal of Jules Renard is a unique autobiographical masterpiece that, though celebrated abroad and cited as a principle influence by writers as varying as Somerset Maugham and Donald Barthelme, remains more of a cult object in the United States. Throughout his journal, Renard develops not only his artistic convictions but also his humanity as he reflects on the nineteenth-century French literary and art scene, and on the emergence of his position as an important novelist and playwright in that world. Through a mix of aphorisms and observations, short scenes, gossip, jokes, and meditations on life and art, Renard portrays the details of his personal life—his love interests, his position as a socialist mayor of Chitry, the suicide of his father—that often appear in his work. In recent years, the fragmented memoir has grown in popularity, and there’s been a resurgence of diary as an artistic form. Once again, Jean Paul Sartre’s assessment that “directly, or indirectly, Renard is at the origin of contemporary literature” rings true. In a new introduction, Sarah Manguso—whose groundbreaking nonfiction incorporates elements of diary and aphorism—both contextualizes and celebrates Renard’s seminal journal.
