Wading Through Lethe
Author: Paulette Guerin
Publisher: Futurecycle Press
ISBN: 9781952593208
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
In Wading Through Lethe, a girl growing up in rural Arkansas learns to navigate life, love, and loss as she approaches womanhood. She leaves home to study and to travel. The heroes and gods of Greek myth appear alongside Christian saints; rural landscapes and cicadas give way to Gothic churches and the Roman Forum. Metamorphosis is at the heart of these poems-the necessary transformations that leave us changed as memory pulls us to the past, where nothing and everything is the same. With musical language, these formal and free verse poems highlight the way we shape memory and the inevitability of forgetting. In the end, the search becomes not about discarding the past but about choosing what we keep. Orpheus may have lost Eurydice, but there is still music.

Out of Iran
Author: Bahram Darugar
Publisher: Wheatmark, Inc.
ISBN: 1627871470
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In many respects, Bahram Darugar's early life was unremarkable. He studied hard, navigated the minefields of puberty and dating, and attended medical school at the University of Tehran. But those years also brought him face-to-face with bigotry and persecution. He was beaten by a soldier who suspected him of protesting against the government. His father was imprisoned for being a member of the Baha'i Faith. His female family members struggled to lead lives that were free of restriction-or as free as they could make them. When Bahram emigrated to the United States in 1960, the culture shock was overwhelming. With fierce tenacity, he mastered the English language and the customs of his adopted country, but he never lost affection for his homeland. And he never lost hope that those he'd left behind would someday enjoy the freedoms most Americans take for granted. Out of Iran chronicles Bahram's journey through two different worlds. Offering a glimpse into Iran's rich culture and the immigrant experience, his story also pays tribute to the "stepchildren of Allah"-those women, religious minorities, and other oppressed people who continue to live under a regime that denies their right to self-expression. Bahram "Barry" Darugar is a retired general and vascular surgeon. He was born in Iran and graduated summa cum laude from Tehran University School of Medicine in 1959. He received a scholarship to further his studies in the United States of America. At Emory University, he completed his studies as a surgeon and became a diplomat of the American College of Surgeons in 1966. After retiring, he completed the MFA program at GCSU. He lives with his wife, Debbie, and two shih tzu dogs named Precious and Bella on Lake Oconee, Georgia. His four children and five grandchildren all live in the USA. Several of his articles and poems have been published in various national journals including Medical Economics, Touchstone, Colere, World Order, Peacock's Feet at GCSU, and The Reach of Song 2013 anthology. He is also the 2004 first place nonfiction award winner at GCSU. He is the first place winner of the 2012 Georgia Poetry society contest and first place winner of the Georgia Writers Museum creative writing contest.
