God’s Path
Author: Naola Kaylani Davis

ISBN: 1728300460
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
My journey on the path to spiritual enlightenment began at a very young age—at the age of one and a half. I was violently thrust into the arena of good and bad, violent and nonviolent. In order to cope with the violence in my life, I connected with my source. Outwardly, I was a happy-go-lucky child, while inwardly, I was trying to rationalize and trying to understand how a person, like my father, who walked the earth, could grow into a monster—because for the most part, we all start out as good human beings. There are some cases where a soul is born with an evil predisposition, but for the most part, people start out good and the environment they are born into plays a large role in shaping the person they ultimately become.

The Dangers of Poetry
Author: Kevin M. Jones
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503613879
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
Poetry has long dominated the cultural landscape of modern Iraq, simultaneously representing the literary pinnacle of high culture and giving voice to the popular discourses of mass culture. As the favored genre of culture expression for religious clerics, nationalist politicians, leftist dissidents, and avant-garde intellectuals, poetry critically shaped the social, political, and cultural debates that consumed the Iraqi public sphere in the twentieth century. The popularity of poetry in modern Iraq, however, made it a dangerous practice that carried serious political consequences and grave risks to dissident poets. The Dangers of Poetry is the first book to narrate the social history of poetry in the modern Middle East. Moving beyond the analysis of poems as literary and intellectual texts, Kevin M. Jones shows how poems functioned as social acts that critically shaped the cultural politics of revolutionary Iraq. He narrates the history of three generations of Iraqi poets who navigated the fraught relationship between culture and politics in pursuit of their own ambitions and agendas. Through this historical analysis of thousands of poems published in newspapers, recited in popular demonstrations, and disseminated in secret whispers, this book reveals the overlooked contribution of these poets to the spirit of rebellion in modern Iraq.
