The World Will Follow Joy by Alice Walker Pdf

A poetry collection of “playful and crooning lyricism” from the National Book Award– and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Color Purple (Booklist). In this dazzling new collection, Alice Walker offers over sixty new poems to incite and nurture contemporary activists. Hailed as a “lavishly gifted writer,” Walker imbues her poetry with evocative images, fresh language, anger, forgiveness, and profound wisdom (The New York Times). Casting her eye toward history, politics, and nature, as well as to world figures such as Jimmy Carter, Gloria Steinem, and the Dalai Lama, she “distills struggles, crises, and tragedies down to bright, singing lessons in living with awareness and joy” (Booklist). By attentively chronicling the conditions of human life today, Walker shows, as ever, her deep compassion, profound spirituality, and necessary political commitments. The poems in The World Will Follow Joy remind us of our human capacity to come together and take action, even in our troubled political times. “Her spirituality, concern for human rights, and almost old-fashioned, determined joyousness run deep and her devoted readers will want to follow her as she turns ‘madness into flowers’” (Library Journal).

In Lieu of Flowers by Nancy Howard Cobb Pdf

“An elegant book” (Wall Street Journal) that opens us up to our own experiences, and encourages us to accept and honor the “divine intersections” where the living meet the dying. “Grieving is as natural as breathing, for if we have lived and loved, surely we will grieve. . . .” Nancy Cobb meets death in the most vital of places—in the lives of everyday people—and in doing so has found a way to infuse this darkest subject with light. Her candor and refreshing perspective make the deaths of those she has loved—and death itself—a subject to explore rather than to avoid. Cobb’s personal experiences become a point of departure for what amounts to a poignant conversation about loss.

Flowers from the Storm by Laura Kinsale Pdf

A Thousand Glass Flowers by Evan Turk Pdf

This gorgeous and empowering picture book from award-winning author-illustrator Evan Turk paints the portrait of Marietta Barovier, the groundbreaking Renaissance artisan who helped shape the future of Venetian glassmaking. Marietta and her family lived on the island of Murano, near Venice, as all glassmakers did in the early Renaissance. Her father, Angelo Barovier, was a true maestro, a master of glass. Marietta longed to create gorgeous glass too, but glass was men’s work. One day her father showed her how to shape the scalding-hot material into a work of art, and Marietta was mesmerized. Her skills grew and grew. Marietta worked until she created her own unique glass bead: the rosetta. Small but precious, the beautiful beads grew popular around the world and became as valuable as gold. The young girl who was once told she could not create art was now the woman who would leave her mark on glasswork for centuries to come.

Like White, Scattering Flowers by Matts Djos Pdf

- - Two lovers who can't get enough of life and overstep the boundaries of conformity with neither the wisdom to turn away nor the discretion to recognize what could destroy them . . . . -- Seattle, 1956: ---- Meet Ginny and Nathan Ecklund, the most perfect and imperfect match imaginable. Their love is fragile and stormy, like the Great Northwest where they sail and ski, heedless of the natural dangers that could destroy them. Fueled by alcohol and illusions, they wander the city and savor every kind of risk the dregs and jazz joints have to offer. The path they have chosen is pure madness. When the fantasies take a new turn and the alcohol and the nightmares threaten their love, they are faced with a terrifying decision: hold tight to their illusions or commence the long, hard journey to sobriety and hope. The decision is theirs alone to make and theirs alone to suffer, although it may not turn out as they expected.

Emulation on the Shakespearean Stage by Vernon Guy Dickson Pdf

The English Renaissance has long been considered a period with a particular focus on imitation; however, much related scholarship has misunderstood or simply marginalized the significance of emulative practices and theories in the period. This work uses the interactions of a range of English Renaissance plays with ancient and Renaissance rhetorics to analyze the conflicted uses of emulation in the period (including the theory and praxis of rhetorical imitatio, humanist notions of exemplarity, and the stage’s purported ability to move spectators to emulate depicted characters). This book emphasizes the need to see emulation not as a solely (or even primarily) literary practice, but rather as a significant aspect of Renaissance culture, giving insight into notions of self, society, and the epistemologies of the period and informed by the period’s own sense of theory and history. Among the individual texts examined here are Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus and Hamlet, Jonson’s Catiline, and Massinger’s The Roman Actor (with its strong relation to Jonson’s Sejanus).
