The Unknown Country: Death in Australia, Britain and the USA by Kathy Charmaz,Glennys Howarth,Allan Kellehear Pdf

In a strategy deliberately counter to many earlier texts which focus on social aspects of death and dying this book will not examine death through the social prism of US or British culture alone. Drawing only on material from a single society gives readers the misleading impression of a universal experience. As a text in the sociology of death and dying this volume examines culture-specific images and experiences of death in three major western societies - Australia, Britain and the USA.

Where God Hides by Liam Lawton Pdf

In Where God Hides Liam Lawton explores the path to understanding God's presence, and poses the question of how we find spiritual consolation in challenging times. Describing his own experience of faith - and the struggles therein - he begins his journey with the Book of Ecclesiastes: 'There is a time for everything; and a season for everything under the sun.' In this book are many remarkable stories of divine revelation in ordinary human life, of people and events that have touched him over his years of ministry. 'I have found God hiding - sometimes camouflaged in the natural beauty of our planet, or the healer who is revealed in the Mayan foothills of Guatemala, or in the chance meeting of a grieving mother in a Dublin car park, or the God of great joy found in the poorest African slums. These stories and many more reveal a God who does not intrude upon human living but rather enters into the very depth of it and becomes present to those who wish for "eyes to see, and ears to hear". Here are stories of pain and beauty, stories of challenge and consolation, but, above all, inspiration. It is in great simplicity that great beauty is revealed, and maybe then and only then we might discover where God truly hides.'

Lyric Poetry by Mutlu Blasing Pdf

Lyric poetry has long been regarded as the intensely private, emotional expression of individuals, powerful precisely because it draws readers into personal worlds. But who, exactly, is the "I" in a lyric poem, and how is it created? In Lyric Poetry, Mutlu Blasing argues that the individual in a lyric is only a virtual entity and that lyric poetry takes its power from the public, emotional power of language itself. In the first major new theory of the lyric to be put forward in decades, Blasing proposes that lyric poetry is a public discourse deeply rooted in the mother tongue. She looks to poetic, linguistic, and psychoanalytic theory to help unravel the intricate historical processes that generate speaking subjects, and concludes that lyric forms convey both personal and communal emotional histories in language. Focusing on the work of such diverse twentieth-century American poets as T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, and Anne Sexton, Blasing demonstrates the ways that the lyric "I" speaks, from first to last, as a creation of poetic language.

The Poems of T. S. Eliot, Volume I by T. S. Eliot Pdf

The first volume of the first paperback edition of The Poems of T. S. Eliot This two-volume critical edition of T. S. Eliot’s poems establishes a new text of the Collected Poems 1909–1962, rectifying accidental omissions and errors that have crept in during the century since Eliot’s astonishing debut, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” In addition to the masterpieces, The Poems of T. S. Eliot contains the poems of Eliot’s youth, which were rediscovered only decades later; poems that circulated privately during his lifetime; and love poems from his final years, written for his wife, Valerie. Calling upon Eliot’s critical writings as well as his drafts, letters, and other original materials, Christopher Ricks and Jim McCue have provided a commentary that illuminates the imaginative life of each poem. This first volume respects Eliot’s decisions by opening with his Collected Poems 1909–1962 as he arranged and issued it shortly before his death. This is followed by poems uncollected but either written for or suitable for publication, and by a new reading text of the drafts of The Waste Land. The second volume opens with the two books of verse of other kinds that Eliot issued: Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats and Anabasis, his translation of St.-John Perse’s Anabase. Each of these sections is accompanied by its own commentary. Finally, pertaining to the entire edition, there is a comprehensive textual history that contains not only variants from all known drafts and the many printings but also extended passages amounting to hundreds of lines of compelling verse.
