Book Description
Within Language Architect are dozens of the best original poems ever written--being released for the first and only time--with focus on technique, rhyme, and depth of substance and sentiment. The rest of the jokes and wordplay, opinions and thoughts, and abstruse esoterica have been included to reach an audience beyond that which appreciates the poetic ingenuity of the book''s core. Immediately below is a poem entitled "Failure" that you''ll find on page 154 of Language Architect: I never used to learn from you, I''d watch you fall, then do it too, As if the things I didn''t do Were causing scars I didn''t earn. Sometimes I''ve learned my lessons twice, Your pain alone would not suffice, For often when you''ve paid the price It hasn''t cost enough to learn. But I am not what you became, Instead I''m what you couldn''t tame, I find myself inside the flame: The only place I know I''ll burn. It is a place I''ve always known, To which I often go alone, For when I get there on my own I know each time I won''t return. The author''s unapologetic conceit shines through the pages of Language Architect with the brilliance of a thousand exploding suns. Some of the poetry is uplifting and inspirational, other poems are farcical and comedic, while still more of the works are introspective and deep-reaching--coaxing the mind of the reader to a sanctuary of inner discovery. Interspersed throughout the book are puns, jokes, satire, and aphoristic quotes, as well as a few brief disquisitions delineating contemplative, thought-provoking opinions on an eclectic collection of subjects ranging from the origin of UFOs to how society could make strides toward bettering the criminal justice system. If you''ve ever thought that rhyming poetry had to be juvenile and superficial, many of these poems will transform your way of thinking with a masterful use of language rarely seen from today''s poets and with the honed talent of dictating rhyme without sacrificing purport or pith. When was the last time you treated yourself to a genuine expansion of mind and spirit through verse? Today is the day; right now is the time: go back to the top and click "Buy Now." Take your perspective from the banal and the commonplace to a novel expanse of cavernous, transformational wonderment. If the book''s content doesn''t deliver on the creative ability professed herein, just ask for a refund. How big of a gamble is it really? We aren''t talking about purchasing a new car :) Allow yourself to revel in inventive, avant-garde rhyme schemes devised ingeniously, developed with never-before-seen lyrical precision that transcends the page, followed rhythmically to intricate, syllabic perfection. How often is there an opportunity to enrich your thinking that can be consumed and digested in bite-size chunks? Part of the beauty of Language Architect is that it doesn''t necessitate a commitment to any more than one or two pages of reading at a time. A single poem or joke can be read, and groups of poems and content are subtly divided into sections as well. This philosophy is perfect for anyone with a busy, on-the-go lifestyle or people who simply avoid commitment. It is relevant to acknowledge, however, that draft copies prior to publication were referred to as "addictive" and "difficult to put down." Just see what the folks thought about it who are cited on the back cover by going up to the top of the page to the paperback images. Then click "Buy Now" :) And if these entirely irrelevant opinions of people you don''t know haven''t convinced you, let me grasp aimlessly at some fleeting humility and simply ask nicely: Please give my book a try. I put years of my best work into it and it helps me out a lot that you''re willing to get it here today. I extend to you my most earnest thanks and appreciation.

Book Description
This book is the first ever concordance to the rhymes of Spenser’s epic. It gives the reader unparalleled access to the formal nuts and bolts of this massive poem: the rhymes which he used to structure its intricate stanzas. As well as the main concordance to the rhymes, the volume features a wealth of ancillary materials, which will be of value to both professional Spenserians and students, including distribution lists and an alphabetical listing of all the words in The Faerie Queene. The volume breaks new ground by including two studies by Richard Danson Brown and J. B. Lethbridge, so that the reader is given provocative analyses alongside the raw data about Spenser as a rhymer. Brown considers the reception of rhyme, theoretical models and how Spenser’s rhymes may be reading for meaning. Lethbridge in contrast discusses the formulaic and rhetorical character of the rhymes.

Book Description
In this study, Jennifer Riddle Harding presents a cognitive analysis of three figures of speech that have readily identifiable forms: similes, puns, and counterfactuals. Harding argues that when deployed in literary narrative, these forms have narrative functions—such as the depiction of conscious experiences, allegorical meanings, and alternative plots—uniquely developed by these more visible figures of speech. Metaphors, by contrast, are often "invisible" in the formal structure of a text. With a solid cognitive grounding, Harding’s approach emphasizes the relationship between figurative forms and narrative effects. Harding demonstrates the literary functions of previously neglected figures of speech, and the potential for a unified approach to a topic that crosses cognitive disciplines. Her work has implications for the rhetorical approach to figures of speech, for cognitive disciplines, and for the studies of literature, rhetoric, and narrative.
