Book Description
As the anthology progresses, it delves into the intricate histories that trees carry within their rings. Poems become time capsules, revealing the stories of ancient oaks, resilient redwoods, and the quiet witness that a tree stands as to the passage of time. The verses explore the legacy of trees, intertwining their growth with the annals of human history, cultural evolution, and the ebb and flow of civilizations. The poets skillfully navigate the scientific and ecological dimensions of trees, weaving in details about their ecological roles, seasonal transformations, and the delicate dance between flora and fauna in the shadow of their branches. Through these poems, readers gain not only a poetic understanding of trees but also an ecological education, enriching the experience with layers of knowledge. Cultural and symbolic significance are recurring themes throughout the anthology. The poets explore the diverse ways in which trees have been woven into the fabric of human culture, mythology, and spiritual beliefs. Trees become symbols of resilience, wisdom, and the cyclical nature of life. The verses become a cultural tapestry that transcends geographical boundaries, celebrating the universal symbolism that trees hold in various societies.

The National's Boxer
Author: Ryan Pinkard
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1501378023
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
“Pinkard's account... brings to light the ambition and artistry, the stress and frustration, and ultimately the joy of making this very special album."-Peter Katis, The National's engineer, and mixer on Boxer “I am spooked by how well [Pinkard] has captured these characters and this madcap project. I am not sure how he did it.” -Carin Besser, co-lyricist on Boxer and wife to Matt Berninger “Accessible, perceptive, sometimes hilarious, but more often harrowing, Pinkard's book gets a running start on its subject, tracing The National's trajectory from their first notes together to the creation of Boxer.” -Stephen M. Deusner, music critic and author We all know the Boxer. The fighter who remembers every glove but still remains. That grisly, bruised American allegory who somehow gets up more times than he's knocked down. This is the fight that nearly broke The National. The one that allowed them to become champions. Released in 2007, The National's fourth full-length album is the one that saved them. For fans, Boxer is a profound personal meditation on the unmagnificent lives of adults, an elegant culmination of their sophisticated songwriting, and the first National album many fell in love with. For the band, Boxer symbolizes an obsession, a years-long struggle, a love story, a final give-it-everything-you've-got effort to keep their fantasy of being a real rock band alive. Based on extensive original interviews with the fighters who were in the ring and the spectators who witnessed it unfold, Ryan Pinkard obsessively reconstructs a transformative chapter in The National's story, revealing how the Ohio-via-Brooklyn five-piece found the sound, success, and spiritual growth to evolve into one of the most critically acclaimed bands of their time.
