Flight from the Mother Stone by Laurence Lieberman Pdf
In his newest collection of poetry, Laurence Leiberman widens the scope of his previous Caribbean collections by drawing attention to the small enchanting islands of the Grenadines, a chain running between Grenada and St. Vincent. These outposts, often frequented by sailors, are mainly off the beaten tourist tracks. Lieberman's poems bring to life all the overlooked people, hidden places, and indigenous but rarely seen animals which can be found on these islands. These poems are as powerful as voodoo, full of energetic narratives in which Lieberman acts as observer while his characters--native "Caribs" and friends--guide us through the mystifying world of Guyana and the Caribbean: the planting of tree farms, local myths and religious sects, the daily crises of manual laborers working in the gold and diamond mines, and encounters with watras and harpy eagles. Lieberman's lines are rhythmic and strong; voices swirl in and out of his stanzas. From Lieberman's own precise observations to his inclusion of Caribbean dialects, the language created here is deeply textured and unique. The majority of these poems are narratives, stories about a culture that is extremely attuned to the richness of its past. They remind their readers that no matter how diverse a society becomes, it remains irrevocably connected to the land it was born of and the plants and animals that struggle to survive in its midst.
T. S. Lewis's Desolate: Blind Lineage rattles the status-quo of contemporary fantasy as the rich Emberverse delves further into both wonder and chaos, showcasing dastardly new foes, robust magic, and conflicting senses of hope and doom. When Jade, a blind twenty-five year-old Paladiness and special-needs teacher begins to uncover the secrets of her past, Deviant monsters threaten to destroy all she holds dear. When visions of horrors unspeakable lash her very mind, she rediscovers an ancient, dusty necklace in her closet, and is thrown into a dangerous world: A world brighter than a solar flare— a world darker than black mist shrouding thousands of lost souls screeching to be free. Jade balances both worlds while maintaining her day-job, befriending shady militants, fortifying magical cities, and teaching creatures of light to embrace the very essence of themselves, often battling just to see the break of dawn. As her vision fades, the past and future become clearer... But is she watching time, or is time watching her? From upcoming author T. S. Lewis, Desolate: Blind Lineage captivates minds, tells a vibrant tale with visceral friendship, honor, and gritty violence, and captures the unforgettable, unbreakable bonds between Paladins, Entities, and their respective worlds. The war for the Spirit World has begun.

Mother Stone: the Vitality of Modern British Sculpture by Anne Middleton Wagner Pdf
In Mother Stone Anne Middleton Wagner looks anew at the carvings of the first generation of British modernists, a group centered around Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Jacob Epstein. Wagner probes the work of these sculptors, discusses their shared avant-garde materialism, and identifies a common theme that runs through their work and that of other artists of the period: maternity. Why were artists for three turbulent decades after the First World War seemingly preoccupied with representations of pregnant women and the mother and child? Why was this the great new subject, especially for sculpture? Why was the imagery of bodily reproduction at the core of the effort to revitalize what in Britain had become a somnolent art? Wagner finds the answers to these questions at the intersection between the politics of maternity and sculptural innovation. She situates British sculpture fully within the new reality of “bio-power”—the realm of Marie Stopes, Brave New World, and Melanie Klein. And in a series of brilliant studies of key works, she offers a radical rereading of this sculpture’s main concerns and formal language.

Medievalisms in a Global Age by Robert Squillace,Angela Jane Weisl Pdf
Discusses contemporary medievalism in studies ranging from Brazil to West Africa, from Manila to New York. Across the world, revivals of medieval practices, images, and tales flourish as never before. The essays collected here, informed by approaches from Global Studies and the critical discourse on the concept of a "Global Middle Ages", explore the many facets of contemporary medievalism: post-colonial responses to the enforced dissemination of Western medievalisms, attempts to retrieve pre-modern cultural traditions that were interrupted by colonialism, the tentative forging of a global "medieval" imaginary from the world's repository of magical tales and figures, and the deployment across borders of medieval imagery for political purposes. The volume is divided into two sections, dealing with "Local Spaces" and "Global Geographies". The contributions in the first consider a variety of medievalisms tied to particular places across a broad geography, but as part of a larger transnational medievalist dynamic. Those in the second focus on explicitly globalist medievalist phenomena whether concerning the projection of a particular medievalist trope across borders or the integration of "medieval" pasts from different parts of the globe in a contemporary incarnation of medievalism. A wide range of topics are addressed, from Japanese manga and Arthurian tales to The O-Trilogy of Maurice Gee, Camus, and Dungeons and Dragons.
