Echoes of No More Wars by Maria Obiechina Pdf

... Countless uncounted airy diamond-specks Of downy white and glitter Lay upon sleeping grass and naked trees. Silent power whispers to the winds, Mistress of mountain air, Earth and sky, sun and moon. All life lies strangled In the folds of her triumph, And the snow falls and falls and falls ... Maria Obiechina has been greatly moved by certain events in the world and her life. In her debut collection of poems, she shares poignant verse that explores emotions, human frailty and strength, loss, love, and regrets. Obiechina, who has been an educator in both America and Nigeria, lyrically reflects on her life experiences as she attempted to understand complex events around her and find a better path. Her poems express her frustration after visiting a Nigerian factory, the pain of unrequited love, the heartbreak of war, the beauty of a winter's day, and the differences between generations. Through it all, Obiechina gently encourages all of us to embrace tolerance, differences, and empathy toward others as we continue on own unique journeys. Echoes of No More Wars shares poems that highlight the indomitable human spirit and touch on the universal traits of compassion, understanding, love, and hope.

Living Abroad in Japan by BrownTrout Publishers, Incorporated Pdf

'Dear Etienne, how's it going? I'm writing to invite you to Japan for two weeks in October.' This was the beginning, a crossing of two cultures, French and Japanese, which was going to awaken many things in each one of the authors who participated in this adventure: a stay in Japan does not leave one indifferent. Eight stories from nine European authors result, in which all the exoticism of this elusive and mysterious country is depicted with imagination, humor and poetry. As if in response to these impressions of the artist-travelers, eight authors from the Archipelago portray their own Japan, the everyday one, that of modernity and that of legend. After reading this sentient collection of anecdotes and tales woven together from such different views, one desires nothing more than to visit and see for oneself some bit of the land of the Rising Sun.

Tokyo on Foot by Florent Chavouet Pdf

This prize-winning book is both an illustrated tour of a Tokyo rarely seen in Japan travel guides and an artist's warm, funny, visually rich, and always entertaining graphic memoir. Florent Chavouet, a young graphic artist, spent six months exploring Tokyo while his girlfriend interned at a company there. Each day he would set forth with a pouch full of color pencils and a sketchpad, and visit different neighborhoods. This stunning book records the city that he got to know during his adventures. It isn't the Tokyo of packaged tours and glossy guidebooks, but a grittier, vibrant place, full of ordinary people going about their daily lives and the scenes and activities that unfold on the streets of a bustling metropolis. Here you find businessmen and women, hipsters, students, grandmothers, shopkeepers, policemen, and other urban types and tribes in all manner of dress and hairstyles. A temple nestles among skyscrapers; the corner grocery anchors a diverse assortment of dwellings, cafes, and shops--often tangled in electric lines. The artist mixes styles and tags his pictures with wry comments and observations. Realistically rendered advertisements or posters of pop stars contrast with cartoon sketches of iconic objects or droll vignettes, like a housewife walking her pet pig, a Godzilla statue in a local park, and an urban fishing pond that charges 400 yen per half hour. This very personal guide to Tokyo is organized by neighborhood with hand-drawn maps that provide an overview of each neighborhood, but what really defines them is what caught the artist's eye and attracted his formidable drawing talent. Florent Chavouet begins his introduction by observing that, "Tokyo is said to be the most beautiful of ugly cities." With wit, a playful sense of humor, and the multicolor pencils of his kit, he sets aside the question of urban ugliness or beauty and captures the Japanese essence of a great city in this truly vital portrait.

Strange Big Moon by Joanne Kyger Pdf

Hungry to explore Zen and make the discoveries that would shape a lifetime of poetry, Joanne Kyger left for Japan in her twenties and returned four years later ready to carve out a substantial niche in San Francisco's Beat poetry movement. Whether she is studying under Zen teacher Ruth Fuller Sakaki or meeting with the Dalai Lama (who at 27 "lounged on a velvet couch like a gawky adolescent in red robes"), her journals are witty, amusing, and intelligent, in this fascinating look at the art of poetry and portrait of the counterculture abroad.
