Ultima Thule by Davis McCombs Pdf

This year’s winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Davis McCombs’s Ultima Thule, which was acclaimed as “a book of exploration, of searching regard.... a grave, attentive holding of a light” by the contest judge, the distinguished poet W. S. Merwin. The poems are set above and below the Cave Country of south central Kentucky, where McCombs lives and which is home to thousands of caves. The book is framed by two sonnet sequences, the first about a slave guide and explorer at Mammoth Cave in the mid-1800s and the second about McCombs’s experiences as a guide and park ranger there in the 1990s. Other poems deal with Mammoth Cave’s four- thousand-year human history and the thrills of crawling into tight, rarely visited passageways to see what lies beyond. Often the poems search for oblique angles into personal experience, and the caves and the landscape they create form a personal geology.

Ultima Thule by Mack Reynolds Pdf

At least he'd got far enough to wind up with a personal interview. It's one thing doing up an application and seeing it go onto an endless tape and be fed into the maw of a machine and then to receive, in a matter of moments, a neatly printed rejection. It's another thing to receive an appointment to be interviewed by a placement officer in the Commissariat of Interplanetary Affairs, Department of Personnel. Ronny Bronston was under no illusions. Nine out of ten men of his age annually made the same application. Almost all were annually rejected. Statistically speaking practically nobody ever got an interplanetary position. But he'd made step one along the path of a lifetime ambition...

Ultima Thule by Denise Bell,Chris Dykes Pdf

From the intricate cockleshell and birdseye stitches that constitute the airy Sky and Sea scarf, to the original fish motif of the Kishie Shawl; from the hearty practicality of the Lerwick Harbour Hap, to the elegant Voe Cowl, and to the vine, stone wall, and bumblebee motifs of the ambitious Kailyard Pi Shawl, Ultima Thule is a tribute to the northernmost point of Scotland, the Shetland Islands.Designer Denise Bell offers a range of patterns, from exquisite lace to sturdy garter stitch, all specifying either her own hand dyed yarns from Lost City Knits or from Jamieson and Smith Wool Brokers of Shetland.Photographer and essayist Chris Dykes offers a glimpse of Shetland's remarkable scenery and shares some of his encounters with lifelong Shetlanders.
