Anna Swir's poetry is featured in the best-selling anthologies Ten Poems to Set You Free and Risking Everything Anna Swir (1909-1984) famously said "A poet should be as sensitive as an aching tooth." Swir was one of Poland's most distinguished poets, and she was open in her feminism and eroticism, with poetry that explored the life of the female body--from the agonizing depths of wartime to delirious sensual delight. The New York Times wrote that Swir's poetry pointed toward a "ferocious internal life." A member of the Resistance during the Nazi occupation and a military nurse in a makeshift hospital during the Warsaw Uprising, Swir once waited an hour fully expecting to be executed. Affected deeply by her experience, she wrote a poetry which rejected the grand gestures of war in favor of a world cast in miniature, a world in which the body and individual survive. Co-translated by Nobel Laureate Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan, with an introduction by Milosz, who writes: "What is the central theme of these poems? Answer: Flesh. Flesh in love and ecstasy, in pain, in terror, flesh afraid of loneliness, giving birth, resting, feeling the flow of time or reducing time to one instant. By such a clear delineation of her subject matter, Anna Swir achieves in her sensual, fierce poetry a nearly calligraphic neatness." Reviews: "The poems delight in all things physical, painting a passionate picture of the soul as a reified, pulsating entity that argues with the body."--San Francisco Review "Talking to My Body is an extremely rewarding book... Her best poems are so original as to deliver that mild shock we've come to recognize as real poetry."--Boston Book Review

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "My Body offers a lucid examination of the mirrors in which its author has seen herself, and her indoctrination into the cult of beauty as defined by powerful men. In its more transcendent passages . . . the author steps beyond the reach of any 'Pygmalion' and becomes a more dangerous kind of beautiful. She becomes a kind of god in her own right: an artist." —Melissa Febos, The New York Times Book Review A deeply honest investigation of what it means to be a woman and a commodity from Emily Ratajkowski, the archetypal, multi-hyphenate celebrity of our time Emily Ratajkowski is an acclaimed model and actress, an engaged political progressive, a formidable entrepreneur, a global social media phenomenon, and now, a writer. Rocketing to world fame at age twenty-one, Ratajkowski sparked both praise and furor with the provocative display of her body as an unapologetic statement of feminist empowerment. The subsequent evolution in her thinking about our culture’s commodification of women is the subject of this book. My Body is a profoundly personal exploration of feminism, sexuality, and power, of men's treatment of women and women's rationalizations for accepting that treatment. These essays chronicle moments from Ratajkowski’s life while investigating the culture’s fetishization of girls and female beauty, its obsession with and contempt for women’s sexuality, the perverse dynamics of the fashion and film industries, and the gray area between consent and abuse. Nuanced, fierce, and incisive, My Body marks the debut of a writer brimming with courage and intelligence.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Fire Island, Bette Davis, reincarnation, the movies, Henry James, the Russian baths, being lonely in public, following strangers, washing a corpse, the FDR Drive and the racetrack all figure predominantly in Michael Klein's THE TALKING DAY a talking book of poems that speak to the terrible beauty of the world we live in and the world we live without. "I'm dumb about the world. To me, it always looks haunted" is the first line of the first poem in this book and by the end, that haunting has turned fear into grace. "This is a book of such modesty and greatness. Michael writes about the most private situation and warmly includes all its angles, and losses, boondoggles and altars. His subject is this: how I am inside my life. There's something notebook-y here too which is how the book is elegant. The flow is approximate. Anything can happen 'in' here because that's how it feels to be alive in an uncharted and open world." Eileen Myles"
BODY SPEAK! Listen to Your Body... It Knows What It's Talking About!Written by: Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Michele M. Rizzo.BODY SPEAK is the book I wish I had the day my husband Mike was diagnosed with a rare and deadly cancer of the bile ducts. The world we knew ended that day and a new world began. The world of discovering natural cancer healing cures through nutrition and new 'upgraded' lifestyle choices. Due to my husband's life-threatening illness, I launched into researching the root cause of today's growing epidemic of heart failure, chronic illness, obesity and cancer. My husband's journey from death's door to thriving health happened because he chose to follow a series of holistic, nutritional healing protocols - which are contained in this book. BODY SPEAK is a treasure-trove of knowledge that reveals why it is vital to listen to your body and respond to the 'help me' signals it is sending you. BODY SPEAK signals are symptoms of distress meant to get your attention and ignite you into taking the action necessary to fix underlying health issues. This book holds keys to help you not only listen to your body, but it teaches you how to respond in ways that will help you detox, lose weight, strengthen your immune system and recover your health.BODY SPEAK signals function like the dashboard of a car, when you do not pay attention to the 'change oil' or 'low fuel' lights, the car will stop running. In the same way, heartburn, indigestion, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, hemorrhoids, weight gain, skin rashes, frequent sinus and yeast infections, low energy and body pain are ALL BODY SPEAK signals that need your attention. If you fail to address BODY SPEAK symptoms early on, serious illness can develop, including cancer and premature death. BODY SPEAK is broken into Three Parts: WHAT, WHY & HOW:PART ONE - WHAT is Happening? 1-in-3 people can expect a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime if they do these three things:1) Eat the Standard American Diet (SAD).2) Never take the time to detox from heavy- metal environmental buildup.3) Take over-the-counter drugs and pharmaceuticals. In PART ONE I share my husband Mike's cancer diagnosis and what we chose to do about it in light of today's 21st Century Healthcare Cancer-Industry options. PART TWO - WHY? We explore the WHY behind the media blitz of confusion, misinformation and false advertising - all purposely designed to distort the truth about science, health and nutrition. Government subsidies fuel the fast-food industry. Food corporations are in the business of selling factory farmed animals, dairy, eggs, sugar, soda-pop and energy drinks. These companies pour millions of dollars into advertising in a constant effort to drive up market shares for corporate stock holders. Buyer beware. Don't get sucked in by lies and glitzy marketing campaigns. PART THREE - "HOW" to Detox & Heal the Body: Periodic detoxing is vital for over-all health, longevity and well-being. If one embarks too strenuously on detox, a 'healing crisis' can occur. There is no need for a healing crisis or undue stress on the body when detoxing gently by going on the 21-DAY ELIMINATION DETOX DIET (EDD) included in this book. As an Integrative Nutritional, Health Coach, I've designed THE 21-DAY EDD to be a gentle - and delicious - detox protocol that will help you locate food allergies and food sensitivities that may be causing you digestive distress. The EDD will naturally detox your body, release unwanted weight, decrease inflammation and bring balance and health to your body.BODY SPEAK INCLUDES: Over 75 delicious, nutritious and satisfying recipes. Everything from energy-packed breakfast smoothies, tasty, tangy fat-free salad dressings, roasted tomatillo & mango salsa, main meal salads, savory soups, luscious family pleasing entr�es, and RAW scrumptious desserts.
The Body Is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor Pdf
The Body Is Not an Apology The Power of Radical Self-Love Against a global backdrop of war, social upheaval, and personal despair, there is a growing sense of urgency to challenge the systems of oppression that dehumanize bodies and strip us of our shared humanity. Rather than feel helpless in the face of oppression, world-renowned activist, performance poet, and author Sonya Renee Taylor teaches us how to turn to the power of radical self-love in her new book, The Body Is Not an Apology. Radical self-love is the guiding framework that transforms the learned self-hatred of our bodies and the prejudices we have about other people's bodies into a vision of compassion, equity, and justice. In a revolutionary departure from the corporate self-help and body-positivity movement, Taylor forges the inextricable bond between radical self-love and social justice. The first step is recognizing that we have all been indoctrinated into a system of body shame that profits off of our self-hatred. When we ask ourselves, "Who benefits from our collective shame?" we can begin to make the distinction between the messages we are receiving about our bodies or other bodies and the truth. This book moves us beyond our all-too-often hidden lives, where we are easily encouraged to forget that we are whole humans having whole human experiences in our bodies alongside others. Radical self-love encourages us to embark on a personal journey of transformation with thoughtful reflection on the origins of our minds and bodies as a source of strength. In doing this, we not only learn to reject negative messages about ourselves but begin to thwart the very power structures that uphold them. Systems of oppression thrive off of our inability to make peace with bodies and difference. Radical self-love not only dismantles shame and self-loathing in us but has the power to dismantle global systems of injustice-because when we make peace with our bodies, only then do we have the capacity to truly make peace with the bodies of others

The correct answer to that question is foundational for receiving from God. If you lack this basic understanding, you'll forever ask yourself doubt-filled questions like: "How could God love somebody like me?" and "How can I possibly expect to receive anything from the Lord? I don't deserve it, I'm not good enough!" Spirit, Soul, and Body will help you eliminate those and other doubt-filled questions that destroy your faith. If you have trouble receiving from God, this is a must-read!
