Mother Time by Joanne Arnott Pdf

After reading this collection, you will never look at mothers - at the playground, at the elementary school, or across the kitchen table - in quite the same way again. Beginning with a poem of pregnancy, written by her twenty-five year old self, Joanne Arnott leads us through a span of twenty years of inward- and outward-facing struggles, centred firmly in the ongoing work of becoming a mother.Living on the thresholds between races - the poet is a prairie-born Métis - and between thegenerations, Arnott articulates the challenges of mothering in heart, body, and mind. Her work involves sometimes abstract, sometimes visceral long and short poems, song and chant. Through visiting and revisiting pregnancy, childbirth, lullabies, and multi-generational rage, the poetry moves from the desperation of survival through to a tender place of clarity. The sexual, the spiritual, and the sociological weave together here to shock, cajole, and ultimately to transform our picture of the inner life of the mother.

Mother Time by Margaret Urban Walker Pdf

Fifteen original essays open up a novel area of inquiry: the distinctively ethical dimensions of women's experiences of and in aging. Contributors distinguished in the fields of feminist ethics and the ethics of aging explore assumptions, experiences, practices, and public policies that affect women's well-being and dignity in later life. The book brings to the study of women's aging a reflective dimension missing from the empirical work that has predominated to date. Ethical studies of aging have so far failed to emphasize gender. And feminist ethics has neglected older women, even when emphasizing other dimensions of 'difference.' Finally work on aging in all fields has focused on the elderly, while this volume sees aging as an extended process of negotiating personal and social change.

Time Is a Mother by Ocean Vuong Pdf

The New York Times-bestselling collection of poems from the award-winning writer Ocean Vuong "Take your time with these poems, and return to them often.” —The Washington Post How else do we return to ourselves but to fold The page so it points to the good part In this deeply intimate second poetry collection, Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it. Shifting through memory, and in concert with the themes of his novel On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous, Vuong contends with personal loss, the meaning of family, and the cost of being the product of an American war in America. At once vivid, brave, and propulsive, Vuong’s poems circle fragmented lives to find both restoration as well as the epicenter of the break. The author of the critically acclaimed poetry collection Night Sky With Exit Wounds, winner of the 2016 Whiting Award, the 2017 T. S. Eliot Prize, and a 2019 MacArthur fellow, Vuong writes directly to our humanity without losing sight of the current moment. These poems represent a more innovative and daring experimentation with language and form, illuminating how the themes we perennially live in and question are truly inexhaustible. Bold and prescient, and a testament to tenderness in the face of violence, Time Is a Mother is a return and a forging forth all at once.

Part-Time Mother, Full-Time Life by Billie C. Delawie, Ph.D. Pdf

Part-Time Mother, Full-Time Life is the true story of a woman’s personal and spiritual awakening. Divorced, with joint, but not physical custody of her three young children, she completed a Ph.D. in Communication in the Family. As a part-time mother, she developed a more intimate involvement with the children than she had previously experienced. Authentic love emerged for her children and herself, empowering them all. From power struggles to cooperation, from painful mistakes to small victories, she gradually learned to stand up for herself and for the children. She also found authenticity as a writer who redefined motherhood and family, seeking to free them of cultural definitions, allowing the children’s wisdom and true natures to be revealed and supported. This is an inspirational story for today’s women who face these or similar challenges. “An elegant, honest, often humorous writer whose very personal story describes the experience of awakening and empowering herself and her children. Readers can feel encouraged in their own journeys to become their genuine selves. Lively, engaging inner roadmap of conversations good for women, children and men.” —Charles J. O'Leary, author of The Practice of Person-Centered Couple and Family Therapy “How does a woman, who was unmothered herself, learn to mother her own children? The real message of this book is that love—scarred and battle-weary—still has validity as a lifeline … that growth need not be stopped by near-overwhelming confusion and constant sorrow.” —Carol Bedwell, Ph.D, chair, Foreign Languages, Univ. of Wisconsin (retired) Your writing touches me. You are BOLD! I’m inspired! I’m adopting you as a mother! —Karin Braun, Metal-smith

Smiling at Mother Freedom, Laughing with Father Time by Joe Gonzalez Pdf

This is a story based on the life of a very humble family that had their roots set in Mexico in the midforties before heading north and setting foot in America. The family grew in a matter of years. Texas became their home. Raising six boys and one girl brought along many pranks and so many hardships. Lack of education, low wages, and a large family took a toll on the head of the family. But there was always the laughter and optimism of a better tomorrow that kept the family together. Believing in Jesus Christ and having a strong faith helped the family take one day at a time. And then came the Vietnam War. In time, marriages, prosperity, and new families gave new life to the grandparents who finally had it all, in that little town called New Deal.

The Things My Mother Taught Me in a Short Time by Jane Fisher Anderson Pdf

The word mother means different things to different people, and it is based on how much love you have in your heart for your own mother. Can you sit in a chair and daydream about who and what this person means or meant to you? This book allows readers to feel the love, trust, and respect this author has for her mom. This love is there forever and even death is not strong enough to separate them. This is a not an overreaction. It shows how someone that had very few worldly things used her short lifetime to be so productive. Her children continue to uphold her image in all they do and with what they are willing to do for others as a tribute to her life. Helen taught her children life is not always a grand prize because it can make you feel happy and sometimes bad; when the bad outweighs the good, you should run as fast as you can. Helen Mae Fishers short life is not about praise and worship. It is a short story about giving and getting love.

The Curve Of Time by M. Wylie Blanchet Pdf

“Time did not exist; or if it did it did not mater. Our world then was both wide and narrow—wide in the immensity of the sea and mountain; narrow in that the boat was very small, and we lived and camped, explored and swam in a little realm of our own making...” This is the fascinating true adventure story of a woman who packed her five children onto a twenty-five-foot boat and explored the coastal waters of British Columbia summer after summer in the 1920s and 1930s. Acting single-handedly as skipper, navigator, engineer and of course, mother, Muriel Wylie Blanchet saw her crew through exciting—and sometimes perilous—encounters with fog; rough seas, cougars, bears and whales, and did so with high spirits and courage. On these pages an independent woman with a deep respect for the native cultures of a region, and a refreshing wonderment about the natural world, comes to life. In The Curve of Time, she has left us with a sensitive and lyrically written account of their journeys and a timeless travel memoir not to be missed.

The Last Time I Saw Mother by Arlene J. Chai Pdf

"My mother never writes. So when the mail arrived that day, I was not expecting to find a letter from her. There was no warning." Between generations of women, there are always secrets--relationships kept hidden, past events obscured, true feelings not spoken. But sometimes the truth is so primal it must be told. Now, with haunting lyricism and emotional clarity, Arlene Chai has written an exquisite novel about a family of women who break their silence. At the center of The Last Time I Saw Mother is the singular story of a woman who suddenly learns she is not who she thinks she is. Caridad is a wife and mother, a native of the Philippines living in Sydney, Australia. Out of the blue Caridad's mother summons her home. Although she is not ill, Thelma needs to talk to her daughter -- to reveal a secret that has been weighing heavily on her for years. It is a tale that Caridad in no way suspects. She stopped asking questions about the past long ago; her mother's constant reluctance to answer finally subdued her curiosity. Now, it is through the words of Thelma, her aunt Emma, and her cousin Ligaya, that Caridad will learn the startling truth and attempt to recapture what has been lost to her. Arlene Chai tells their versions of the story in their own voices, each one distinct, moving, and magical. As each woman tells her part of their family's hidden history, Caridad hears at last the unspoken stories--the joys and sorrows that her parents kept to themselves, and the never forgotten tragedy of the war years, when Japan's brutal occupation and civilian deprivations helped destroy a country and its history. The Last Time I Saw Mother is about mothers and daughters. It is about a cultural identity born of Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino influence. And it is about the healing power of truth. Arlene Chai is one of the most stunning new novelists in years. She takes us to a place we have never been before.
