Book Description
Take a purposeful step away from the safety of your front porch. Today is just another day of trying to navigate your way through the toilsome maze of your workaday world. Or is it? At any rate, here and there are scattered the mystical, magical portals, entryways into otherworldly realms consisting mainly of the offbeat and extraordinary. However, on the way to these amazingly funky worlds, you may want to take a detour onto leaf-strewn paths that will lead you to meditative strolls beside rippling streams then on to the high country grandeur of a sparkling alpine lake. Proceed from there to explore a silent and shadowy wood where a snapping twig at the twilight hour will give you goose bumps. Just don’t get too close to the precipice of no return and beware the inquisitive jaws of hungry night prowlers. Your overactive imagination getting to you? Playful references aside, it’s the vagaries of everyday life that can prove even more of a challenge, but nothing’s perfect, right? Thank goodness for life’s little twists and turns. How dreadfully boring it would be without them! Read on and step into a richly woven tapestry of the magical and mundane . . . the fabric of our worldly lives; set to the sometimes familiar, often times fantastic gyroscope of poetry.

The Georgian Poets

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
The Georgian movement in literature began as a reaction against late Victorian sensibilities, but world events soon turned this nascent movement upside down, killing two of its most famous members and dispersing the rest amidst a harsher intellectual climate. This introductory study helps to set the Georgians in their original context, and revises the critical balance in favour of three lesser known writers whose contribution to early twentieth-century letters was viewed as significant before the 1930s. The author makes use of archive sources and reviews as wellas recent historicist accounts, bringing these engaging, mysterious and humane writers into focus for the present time.

I Never Left Home
Author: Margaret Randall
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478007613
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
In 1969, poet and revolutionary Margaret Randall was forced underground when the Mexican government cracked down on all those who took part in the 1968 student movement. Needing to leave the country, she sent her four young children alone to Cuba while she scrambled to find safe passage out of Mexico. In I Never Left Home, Randall recounts her harrowing escape and the other extraordinary stories from her life and career. From living among New York's abstract expressionists in the mid-1950s as a young woman to working in the Nicaraguan Ministry of Culture to instill revolutionary values in the media during the Sandinista movement, the story of Randall's life reads like a Hollywood production. Along the way, she edited a bilingual literary journal in Mexico City, befriended Cuban revolutionaries, raised a family, came out as a lesbian, taught college, and wrote over 150 books. Throughout it all, Randall never wavered from her devotion to social justice. When she returned to the United States in 1984 after living in Latin America for twenty-three years, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service ordered her to be deported for her “subversive writing.” Over the next five years, and with the support of writers, entertainers, and ordinary people across the country, Randall fought to regain her citizenship, which she won in court in 1989. As much as I Never Left Home is Randall's story, it is also the story of the communities of artists, writers, and radicals she belonged to. Randall brings to life scores of creative and courageous people on the front lines of creating a more just world. She also weaves political and social analyses and poetry into the narrative of her life. Moving, captivating, and astonishing, I Never Left Home is a remarkable story of a remarkable woman.
