Book Description
This book is (Part One) a collection of Poems about real life experiences. About love, romance, hurt, pain, brain injury, abuse, loss of a parent, God, and the truth about life itself. These poems will make you think, smile, cry, and take a second look at life and the people around you. I can only hope that what I have written will allow people of all ages and genders to relate to them someway or somehow. Ihope you enjoy them as much as I did writing them. Please watch out for (Part Two) coming soon, right after this one. I am including a poem here that I hope will make you think deep about what goes on behind closed doors that no one knows about but the one who is hurt: It is called, (Without A Sound) Enjoy...... Without a Sound Many times have I seen the faces of pain and tears, so true, The faces of women bruised with their eyes black and blue, The tears of pain clutch their hearts so bad, they want to flee, Before it gets to the point where they are just a memory. All of them seek a way out at one time or another, But once it comes to light he soon will discover, That she longs to get away from him and break the chains, For the beatings continue and again your left in the pouring rain. This time being worse than the last, but you seem to stay, Looking in the mirror at yourself, not liking it this way, Your eyes are black and blue and your lips are cut deep, All that is left now is the pain and you being left to weep. I kept telling you to get away, for it will get worse each day, Knowing that I do not approve or like seeing you this way, Your tears are falling, as your screams get louder, more than before, This time my dear you had no idea, what was in store. How I knew it would go too far one day, how you were laid to rest, Remembering you vividly lying there, how beautiful you were dressed, That one cold day in December as they lowered you in the ground, Now being in a better place, you have left without a sound.

Perversion, Pedagogy and the Comic
Author: Soumick De
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000608743
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Perversion, Pedagogy and the Comic studies how the idea-of-theater shaped western consciousness during the Christian Middle Ages. It analyses developments within western philosophy, Christian theology and theater history to show how this idea realized itself primarily as a metaphor circulating through various discursive domains. Beginning with Plato’s injunction against tragedy the relation between philosophy and theater has been a complicated affair which this book traces at the threshold when the western world became Christian. By late antiquity as theatre was slowly banned, Christian theology put the idea-of-theatre to use in order to show what they understood to be the perverted nature of worldly existence and the mystery of the Kingdom of God. Interrogating the theological teachings of some of the early Church Fathers like St Augustine, Tertullian and Clement of Alexandria the book offers a new look at how the idea of theater not only inspired Christian liturgical practices but Christian pedagogy in general which in turn shaped the nature of Christian religious drama. Finally the author tries to demonstrate how this hegemonic use of the theatre-idea was countered by a certain comic sensibility which opened the idea of theatre in the Christian Middle Ages to a new and subversive materialist possibility. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
