Many Moons to Mythville: the Collected Road Poems by Douglas McDaniel Pdf

Poetry written during a 10-year span of criss-crossing America in a roving-eye view of the turn-of-the-century landscape of Mythville, or, as the author puts it: "It's all a bunch of Mythville." With work from four separate books by Arizona-based author and poet Douglas McDaniel, the bard-inspired voices of Milton, Blake and Yeats, as well as the saturnine streak of early beat poesy, ring through this collection of poems and essays. From the southwestern deserts to the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, "Many Moons to Mythville" is a foot-to-the-floor blast through the mythical roads of American life.

The Road to Mythville by Douglas McDaniel Pdf

"The Road to Mythville" is a collection of poems on the apocalyptic mythos of late-century America, drawing from McDaniel's decade-long sojourn across the nation as a journalist and Jack Kerouac-style poet, from the Southwestern deserts, to the Colorado Rockies, Northern California, New England and back again. A protege of the late Edward Abbey, McDaniel's poetry explores everything from Major League Baseball to environmental catastrophe. Influenced by Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon and such poets as John Berryman, Robert Lowell and W.B. Yeats, this rich collection details the human face of a modern, post-punk Luddite.

Girldrive by Nona Willis Aronowitz,Emma Bee Bernstein Pdf

What do young women care about? What are their hopes, worries, and ambitions? Have they heard of feminism, and do they relate to it? These are just a few of the questions journalist Nona Willis Aronowitz and photographer Emma Bee Bernstein set out to answer in Girldrive. In October 2007, Aronowitz and Bernstein took a cross-country road trip to meet with the 127 women profiled in this book, ranging from well-known feminists like Kathleen Hanna, Laura Kipnis, Erica Jong, and Michele Wallace, to women who don’t relate to feminism at all. The result of these interviews, Girldrive is a regional chronicle of the struggles, concerns, successes, and insights of young women who are grappling—just as hard as their mothers and grandmothers did—to find, define, and fight for gender equity.

Europe and America Criss-Crossing Perspectives, 1788-1848 by Jacques Portes Pdf

Dans ce livre sont réunies certaines des communications présentées lors de l’atelier : Europe Viewing America, America viewing Europe de la conférence de l’EAAS à Budapest en mars 1986. Ces textes viennent de divers pays, leurs auteurs sont aussi bien des historiens que des littéraires ou des "civilisationistes". Au premier coup d’œil, l’ouvrage peut sembler hétéroclite, toutefois, sa richesse apparaît rapidement. Il s’agit d’une histoire faite d’éloignement et de rapprochement. L’Euro et les Etats-Unis étaient alors aussi éloignés l’un de l’autre qu’ils pouvaient être proches, surtout dans une période où les seconds dépendaient encore de la première, tout en cherchant à développer leur propre personnalité. C’est alors que l’Europe acquit sa fascination pour Nouveau Monde, malgré des réticences. Les liens entre les Etats-Unis et l’Europe sont, encore aujourd’hui faits d’étrangeté et de familiarité. Il est important d’en savoir plus sur les racines de notre attitude actuelle. Laissons les lecteurs les découvrir
