Making Nothing Happen: Five Poets Explore Faith and Spirituality
Par Eleanor Nesbitt, Gavin D'Costa, Mark Pryce, Ruth Shelton. 2014
Making Nothing Happen is a conversation between five poet-theologians who are broadly within the Christian tradition - Nicola Slee, Ruth…
Shelton, Mark Pryce, Eleanor Nesbitt and Gavin D'Costa. Together they form The Diviners - a group which has been meeting together for a number of years for poetry, and theological and literary reflection. Each poet offers an illuminating reflection on how they understand the relation between poetry and faith, rooting their reflections in their own writing, and illustrating discussion with a selection of their own poems. The poets open up issues for deeper exploration and reflection, including: the nature of creativity and the distinction between divine and human creation; the creative process as exploration, epiphany and revelation; the forging of identity through writing; ways in which the arts reflect, challenge and dialogue with faith, and faith can inform and challenge the arts; power and voice in poetry and faith; and ways in which race, gender and culture interact with and shape poetic and theological discourse. This book will be of interest to poets and theologians, to all who read poetry and are interested in the connections between literature and faith, to those seeking inspiration for preaching, liturgy and pastoral care, and to those committed to the practice and nurturing of a contemplative attitude to life in which profound attention and respect are offered to words and to the creative Word at work.Tratado de Açoites: Tratado de Agressões
Par Mois Benarroch. 2019
No seu melhor, Mois Benarroch sinaliza sobre o hebraico e que a língua não pertence a ninguém. Esta é sua…
virtude, que nela tudo pode ser feito, e Benarroch escreve maravilhosa poesia: “havia aqueles que agrediam e havia aqueles que ficavam em silêncio”. Essa é todo o poema. Não há três campos – como dos agredidos, dos agressores e dos silenciados - mas sim apenas dois, e a nova distribuição que promovem essas linhas não permite ao leitor nenhum momento de descanso. Com quem ele está? Em volta do silêncio está construído o poema: o silêncio dos agredidos e seus irmãos que observam de fora, conhecendo como "é justa" a dor do agredido. Esse poema é maravilhoso. Do livro eu sugiro começar a ler sobre o poeta, judeu de origem marroquina, não porque ele conte das agressões que recebeu em sua infância, e também não por causa de Amir Peretz, mas sim que seja notado o simples fato de que nada na sociedade israelense – que todos agora compreendem isso, mesmo que por um breve momento – não está neutralizado da profunda dor que permeia sob a pele, na terra, nas cinzas. Nada o sufoca, exceto o agrupamento dos agressores, é claro. Leiam este curto poema e visualizem quanta profundidade e quanta dor estão nele presentes, quantas bocas malditas, que de repente, serão vistas sob outro ponto de vista. Yitzhak LaorKeesha's House
Par Helen Frost. 2003
An unforgettable narrative collage told in poemsKeesha has found a safe place to live, and other kids gravitate to her…
house when they just can't make it on their own. They are Stephie – pregnant, trying to make the right decisions for herself and those she cares about; Jason – Stephie's boyfriend, torn between his responsibility to Stephie and the baby and the promise of a college basketball career; Dontay – in foster care while his parents are in prison, feeling unwanted both inside and outside the system; Carmen – arrested on a DUI charge, waiting in a juvenile detention center for a judge to hear her case; Harris – disowned by his father after disclosing that he's gay, living in his car, and taking care of himself; Katie – angry at her mother's loyalty to an abusive stepfather, losing herself in long hours of work and school. Stretching the boundaries of traditional poetic forms – sestinas and sonnets – Helen Frost's extraordinary debut novel for young adults weaves together the stories of these seven teenagers as they courageously struggle to hold their lives together and overcome their difficulties.Keesha's House is a 2004 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.Old Questions and Young Approaches to Animal Evolution (Fascinating Life Sciences)
Par José M. Martín-Durán, Bruno C. Vellutini. 2019
Animal evolution has always been at the core of Biology, but even today many fundamental questions remain open. The field…
of animal ‘evo-devo’ is leveraging recent technical and conceptual advances in development, paleontology, genomics and transcriptomics to propose radically different answers to traditional evolutionary controversies. This book is divided into four parts, each of which approaches animal evolution from a different perspective. The first part (chapters 2 and 3) investigates how new sources of evidence have changed conventional views of animal origins, while the second (chapters 4–8) addresses the connection between embryogenesis and evolution, and the genesis of cellular, tissue and morphological diversity. The third part (chapters 9 and 10) investigates how big data in molecular biology is transforming our understanding of the mechanisms governing morphological change in animals. In closing, the fourth part (chapters 11–13) explores new theoretical and conceptual approaches to animal evolution. ‘Old questions and young approaches to animal evolution’ offers a comprehensive and updated view of animal evolutionary biology that will serve both as a first step into this fascinating field for students and university educators, and as a review of complementary approaches for researchers.Trio di Giada

gente. ¿Quién te reconducirá? Una mirada interior con procesos mentales nuevos escribirá el pensamiento azteca con el vergel reconstruido, donde reaparezca el canto del Cenzontle. La inspiración reedificará letras de amor, interpretadas en las alas del alba. Con la ternura que enseña la montaña y la reflexión universal, la imaginación renacerá; colgados de la luna, con el canto de la alondra, el mirlo o cualquier ave excepcional, hasta poemas de amor se escribirán para conquistar el territorio espiritual más preciado: tu corazón.No Matter: Poems
Par Jana Prikryl. 2019
An urgent, visionary collection of poems from the author of The After Party “One of the most original voices of…
her generation.”—James Wood Jana Prikryl’s No Matter guides the reader through cities—remembered and imagined—toppling past the point of decline and fall. Conjured by voices alternately ardent, caustic, grieving, but always watchful, these soliloquies move from free verse through sonnets and invented forms, insisting that every demolition builds something new and unforeseen. In reactionary times, these poems say, we each have a responsibility to use our imagination. No Matter is an elegy for our ongoing moment, when what seemed permanent suddenly appears to be on the brink of disappearing.A Map to the Next World: Poems and Tales

a la mujer, a la infancia. «En este álbum familiar: las mujeres que pisaron estos bosques y los domesticaron sin herirlos. las que cuidaron de los suyos por encima de la resistencia de sus carnes. las que abortaron en silencio y se levantaron para continuar labrando, dejando la pena a un lado. las que salieron de noche, a la caza del lobo. las que cultivaron la compasión y la resistencia. las que emigraron. las que permanecieron.»Piel de mariposa
Par Mariló. 2019
¿Quién quebró las alas de seda de una ingenua mariposa que volaba por el firmamento? Alguien rozó las alas sutiles…
de una mariposa ingenua que volaba por el universo con ternura, amor, desamor, dolor, llanto, desesperación, admiración, respeto y pasión. En este poemario, la autora comparte un amor apasionado -surgido en unas vacaciones- que no podrá ser correspondido porque su enamorado no es heterosexual. Cuando regresa a su ciudad, comparte esta experiencia con dos amigas a las que casualmente les ha sucedido lo mismo. Piel de mariposa también es un grito desesperado que reclama justicia, tolerancia y respeto hacia los más débiles: víctimas de atentados terroristas, mujeres víctimas de violencia de género, mujeres, niñas y adolescentes violadas, torturadas y asesinadas; y los migrantes.This is a seminal book, first published in 1961.

recognised as a pioneering study to re-discover the glorious heritage of Persian in the Deccan, following the first comprehensive and critical survey completed by the author of Persian manuscript sources and literary works scattered across numerous libraries, archives and repositories in India and abroad.The book convincingly argues that, the Deccan’s multilingual and multi-religious traditions shaped the evolution of Indo-Persian and produced over nearly four centuries, a distinct literary and cultural world marked by a syncretic character which defied social, political or religious boundaries. The author also makes the case for collaboration between Persian and the regional languages of India, particularly Marathi. It is the rich legacy of Persian in the Deccan Courts with their vast treasures of literature that is preserved in Dr Devare’s work.The book has been regarded and continues to remain a foundational text for studying the Deccan, be it in the field of history, literature or culture.Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri LankaDinosaurs Rediscovered: The Scientific Revolution In Paleontology
Par Michael J. Benton. 1990
In this fascinating and accessible overview, renowned paleontologist Michael J. Benton reveals how our understanding of dinosaurs is being transformed…
by recent fossil finds and new technology. Over the past twenty years, the study of dinosaurs has transformed into a true scientific discipline. New technologies have revealed secrets locked in prehistoric bones that no one could have previously predicted. We can now work out the color of dinosaurs, the force of their bite, their top speeds, and even how they cared for their young. Remarkable new fossil discoveries—giant sauropod dinosaur skeletons in Patagonia, dinosaurs with feathers in China, and a tiny dinosaur tail in Burmese amber—remain the lifeblood of modern paleobiology. Thanks to advances in technologies and methods, however, there has been a recent revolution in the scope of new information gleaned from such fossil finds. In Dinosaurs Rediscovered, leading paleontologist Michael J. Benton gathers together all the latest paleontological evidence, tracing the transformation of dinosaur study from its roots in antiquated natural history to an indisputably scientific field. Among other things, the book explores how dinosaur remains are found and excavated, and especially how paleontologists read the details of dinosaurs’ lives from their fossils—their colors, their growth, and even whether we will ever be able to bring them back to life. Benton’s account shows that, though extinct, dinosaurs are still very much a part of our world.Beowulf: A Norton Critical Edition (Critical Editions Ser. #0)

Par Sergio Martínez, Alejandra Rojas, Fernanda Cabrera. 2020
Highlighting the latest research on Actualistic Taphonomy (AT), this book presents the outcomes of a meeting that took place in…
Montevideo, Uruguay, in October 2017. Its respective chapters offer valuable insights into South American archaeology, invertebrate and vertebrate fauna, and flora. In recent years, there has been a surge of new research on AT, as evidenced by numerous papers, talks, theses, etc. However, there are still very few AT books or even dedicated journal articles. Reflecting the discipline’s newfound maturity, this book, written by South American authors, offers a unique resource for academics and students of Paleontology, Geology, and Biology around the world.Sumerian Vistas: Poems

volume—the first since his highly acclaimed Lake Effect Country—readers will find superb examples of work in both forms. "The Ridge Farm," which begins the book, and "Tombstones," at its center, are fine longer meditations, while "Motion's Holdings," the concluding section, contains a number of his best new shorter poems. The book is proof, once again, that Ammons is one of our major American poets.Bosh and Flapdoodle: Poems

is A. R. Ammons's last completed collection of poetry.

Combining history, pop science, and in-depth reporting, a fascinating account of asteroids that hit Earth long ago, and those streaming…
toward us now, as well as how we are preparing against asteroid-caused catastrophe.One of these days, warns Gordon Dillow, the Earth will be hit by a comet or asteroid of potentially catastrophic size. The only question is when. In the meantime, we need to get much better at finding objects hurtling our way, and if they’re large enough to penetrate the atmosphere without burning up, figure out what to do about them. We owe many of science’s most important discoveries to the famed Meteor Crater, a mile-wide dimple on the Colorado Plateau created by an asteroid hit 50,000 years ago. In his masterfully researched Fire in the Sky, Dillow unpacks what the Crater has to tell us. Prior to the early 1900s, the world believed that all craters—on the Earth and Moon—were formed by volcanic activity. Not so. The revelation that Meteor Crater and others like it were formed by impacts with space objects has led to a now accepted theory about what killed off the dinosaurs, and it has opened up a new field of asteroid observation, which has recently brimmed with urgency. Dillow looks at great asteroid hits of the past and spends time with modern-day asteroid hunters and defense planning experts, including America’s first Planetary Defense Officer. Satellite sensors confirm that a Hiroshima-scale blast occurs in the atmosphere every year, and a smaller, one-kiloton blast every month. While Dillow makes clear that the objects above can be deadly, he consistently inspires awe with his descriptions of their size, makeup, and origins. At once a riveting work of popular science and a warning to not take for granted the space objects hurtling overhead, Fire in the Sky is, above all, a testament to our universe’s celestial wonders.Come Closer and Listen: New Poems
Par Charles Simic. 2019
An insightful and haunting new collection from Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Charles Simic Irreverent and sly, observant and keenly imagined, Come…
Closer and Listen is the latest work from one of our most beloved poets. With his trademark sense of humor, open-hearted empathy, and perceptive vision, Charles Simic roots his poetry in the ordinary world while still taking in the wide sweep of the human experience. From poems pithy, wry, and cutting—“Time—that murderer/that no has caught yet”—to his layered reflections on everything from love to grief to the wonders of nature, from the story of St. Sebastian to that of a couple weeding side by side, Simic’s work continues to reveal to us an unmistakable voice in modern poetry. An innovator in form and a chronicler of both our interior lives and the people we are in the world, Simic remains one of our most important and lasting voices on the page.Duetto di Lucciole
