Book Description
The Silent Song displays a collection of poems where the author is showing another step, another level in his quest toward reaching spiritual growth and maturity. In that sense, it can be considered as a complement to what has started in the authors previously published poetry book, Gemstone. The author uses his skills in poetry to depict a rich spiritual life where despite the tests and trials of life, one can keep his composure, tame his spirit and maintain an inner peace. Ones life always speaks louder than just his words. A silent preacher living a righteous and holy life can say more by his actions than an eloquent one that relies mainly on his words to influence people around him. Someone once said, Id rather see a sermon than hear one. In this regard, may The Silent Song be an inspiration to you all. Other publications by Dr. Jol Hilaire include: On the Other Side of the Desk (2005), based on a true story Fantaisie de ma Jeunesse (2011 French poetry) Ye Are the Body of Christ (2017), a medico-theological book Gemstone (2018), poetry

Book Description
*Barrett* I'm Deaf. What most people view as a disadvantage, I see as an advantage. I feel my way through life in my 1969 Ford Fairlane. The vibrations and speed sustain me, the race track is where I dominate. I thought racing was all I needed to survive...but I was wrong. *Presley* Music is my life. I inhale the melody and breathe in the lyrics. That was until I met someone that opened my eyes to a new culture. Who knew all it would take was silence for me to really experience music. When Silence and sound collide it creates an explosion of the senses.

Fins to feet, a silenced voice, and a villain that must be stopped... How much do you really know about The Little Mermaid fairytale? As a Siren with a strong Voice, Nimue has always looked forward to joining the Protectors and using her Voice to help others. But not all is as it seems in the Siryian Sea. Her father, Varun, hates the humans and will stop at nothing to see them destroyed. When he orders Nimue to help the other Protectors sink any ship that crosses their borders, Nimue puts all her strength into saving a ship and the humans on it, despite the odds against her. For her defiance, Nimue’s Voice is taken from her. And now, she has only two options of getting her Voice back—finding True Love’s Kiss or convincing her mother to reclaim the throne. Not one to believe in true love, Nimue puts her hope in her mother. But before she makes it very far, she is captured by humans sailing in the opposite direction of where she needs to go. Forced to stay with them until they make it to land, Nimue must rely on her outcast sister to find their mother and set things right. Unwilling to give in to her frustrations, she finds herself interacting with the humans and feeling drawn to the ship’s handsome young captain. Although True Love’s Kiss starts to look like a valid option as the mutual attraction between Brandt and Nimue grows, the strange cultural customs of these islanders clash with her own in a way that may make it impossible. Can Nimue convince Brandt to kiss her and free her Voice? And if she succeeds, will she be willing to pay the price? The Once upon a Story series consists of interconnected standalones that can be read in any order.

Pages : 125
Book Description
In August 1988, I had been cleaning out a room in my house where furniture and miscellaneous items were stored. It was during this time that I discovered an old, unused canvas that I had bought many years ago from an artist-friend, long deceased. It was a Saturday afternoon, and mainly to get away from having to make decisions on what I was going to keep and throw away, I decided that I would begin a painting. I am a very, very amateur painter, and a bad one, at that. I gathered paint, brushes and canvas and proceeded to a shed behind the house that had been used as a shelter for two of my largest dogs. I had no idea of what I was going to sketch as I painted the background white. As I stood there, with brush in hand, "something" caused my hand to begin painting on the wet background. I was puzzled because I don't begin painting until the background is completely dry and that takes several days when oil paint is used. My hand was moving fast--fast--faster and faster, and I was visually having difficulty keeping up with the speed of the brush. I felt that I was only an onlooker and had no doubt that it was not I who was forming this picture, whatever it was. And what was it, anyway? The outline of the painting had been formed, and now my hand moved without any effort, as if guided by some force. The picture was being filled in now, my hand moving with the speed of a swordsman. "A Study in Scarlet?" Sir Arthur Doyle? What? The outline of three strange birds was rapidly appearing on the canvas. The painting was completed in less than an hour. During the painting, the idea for this book formed in my mind. For those of you who will say, or would have said,. "Well, he must have been reading stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle and had that on his mind-Not so! Wrong. I had not read anything by A. Conan Doyle in many years. And all that I knew about Sir Doyle was that he was the author of Sherlock Holmes stories and had lived in England. But what about the three birds? Did they have any significance? Could they represent Doyle--i.e., Holmes, Watson, and Professor Moriarity? Maybe. I really don't know. What I do know is that I don't paint birds. Was this an "automatic painting?" Did some spirit finally complete an unfinished work - interrupted by an unexpected demise? Could the incident be duplicated if I took an old canvas, paint and brush again to the shed in the back of the house on an August day in 2088? That would be 200 years since the first Ripper murder. But wait! I wouldn't be around then, and neither would you. Oh, well, who knows, maybe I will come back just to complete my own painting--but it won't be of birds, I assure you. I hope that you enjoy the book. I have a way of knowing.

Stan Brakhage
Author: Suranjan Ganguly
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496810708
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
In this volume, editor Suranjan Ganguly collects nine of Stan Brakhage’s most important interviews in which the filmmaker describes his conceptual frameworks; his theories of vision and sound; the importance of poetry, music, and the visual arts in relation to his work; his concept of the muse; and the key influences on his art-making. In doing so, Brakhage (1933–2003) discusses some of his iconic films, such as Anticipation of the Night, Dog Star Man, Scenes from Under Childhood, Mothlight, and The Text of Light. One of the most innovative filmmakers in the history of experimental cinema, Brakhage made almost 350 films in his fifty-two-year-long career. These films include psychodramas, autobiography, Freudian trance films, birth films, song cycles, meditations on light, and hand-painted films, which range from nine seconds to over four hours in duration. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, he lived most of his life in the mountains of Colorado, teaching for twenty-one years in the film studies program at the University of Colorado, Boulder. As a filmmaker, Brakhage’s life-long obsession with what he called an “adventure in perception” made him focus on the act of seeing itself, which he tried to capture on film in multiple ways both with and without his camera and by scratching and painting on film. Convinced that there is a primary level of cognition that precedes language, he wrote of the “untutored eye” with which children can access ineffable visual realities. Adults, who have lost such primal sight, can “retrain” their eyes by becoming conscious of what constitutes true vision and the different ways in which they daily perceive the world. Brakhage’s films experiment with such perceptions, manipulating visual and auditory experience in ways that continue to influence film today.

The Songs of Hollywood
Author: Philip Furia
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199792666
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
From "Over the Rainbow" to "Moon River" and from Al Jolson to Barbra Streisand, The Songs of Hollywood traces the fascinating history of song in film, both in musicals and in dramatic movies such as High Noon. Extremely well-illustrated with 200 film stills, this delightful book sheds much light on some of Hollywood's best known and loved repertoire, explaining how the film industry made certain songs memorable, and highlighting important moments of film history along the way. The book focuses on how the songs were presented in the movies, from early talkies where actors portrayed singers "performing" the songs, to the Golden Age in which characters burst into expressive, integral song--not as a "performance" but as a spontaneous outpouring of feeling. The book looks at song presentation in 1930s classics with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and in 1940s gems with Judy Garland and Gene Kelly. The authors also look at the decline of the genre since 1960, when most original musicals were replaced by film versions of Broadway hits such as My Fair Lady.
