Nothing Grows by Moonlight

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nedreaas, Torborg / Lee, Bibbi, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "Nothing Grows by Moonlight" ("Av maneskinn gror det ingenting"), first published in Norway in , is sure to be talked about. It is a moving novel of love, betrayal, search, and sorrow that introduces a major twentieth-century Norwegian writer, Torborg Nedreaas, to an English-speaking audience. Under the surface of a dramatic story rich in atmosphere lurk social themes that will be of particular interest to American and British readers. At the beginning, a man picks up a woman in a railway station. "It is really very difficult to say what it was that made me notice her. It was probably many things, my own mood, the weather, the emptiness of that particular day." It turns out that she simply wants, desperately needs, someone to talk to. He listens to her story, spellbound, and from that night he is haunted forever by the clear, honest revelation of a broken soul--as the reader will be. The woman describes her hopeless involvement with her teacher and lover, who continues to see her, always to reject her, long after he is married. Obsessively, she returns to situations in which she is abused. Finally, in confronting her past without self-pity, without denying personal responsibility, she realizes how much her self-destructive behavior owes to a capitalistic and patriarchal system that forces women into roles that make them emotionally and economically dependent. A powerful subthemes of "Nothing Grows by Moonlight" concerns abortion, which Nedreaas sees not as a crime to be punished but as a tragedy that would not be necessary in a more equitable and caring society. But what finally lingers in the reader's mind is the fully developed image of a woman, buffeted by life, coming to terms with God and man.

Elegies in Blue: Poems

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Saenz, Benjamin Alire, PUBLISHER: Cinco Puntos Press, Benjamin Saenz writes, "In the desert, we live in a desert of translation." That is exactly what he sets out to do, in this, his third book of poems--translate experience into words. He writes of history and learning and death. He writes of loss and knowledge and the difficulties of coming to terms with the harsh and untamable landscape of the border. Ultimately, his elegies are "stones that praise the lives" of those who have given him words. In the tradition of Latin American literature, Saenz believes that poetry should be part of the public discourse and not shunted aside as irrelevant to our country's larger issues. Here he maps out personal, political and spiritual histories. He speaks about political and literary heroes, anti-heroes and everyday people, and he remembers his growing up Chicano in the Catholic world of the U.S./Mexico Border. From these elements, he creates a philosophy of speaking publicly as poet.

Beyond Lament: Poets of the World Bearing Witness to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Striar, Marguerite M., PUBLISHER: Northwestern University Press, Challenging Theodor Adorno's famous statement that "writing poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric", Beyond Lament is a rich and varied anthology consisting of new and previously published poems about the atrocity of the Holocaust. While writing poetry about the Holocaust may be considered by some to be a futile attempt to express the inexpressible, for many the need to give voice to the anger and despair of the Holocaust is as essential as the need to come to grips with its unspeakable horror. Editor Marguerite M. Striar has arranged the nearly 300 poems in this volume to tell the story beginning with the early premonitions of Nazi evil in , through the course of the unthinkable violence that ended in with Hitler's demise, to the flourishing of concern for human rights in the aftermath of the Holocaust. These works -- by well-known poets such as Paul Celan, Nelly Sachs, Czeslaw Milosz, Dannie Abse, and Robert Pinsky, as well as by many lesser-known or unknown poets -- show how poetry makes history memorable, confirm the resilience of the human spirit, and prove that even in the face of great suffering, the flame of creation will not be extinguished.

Samuel Johnson: The Life of an Author

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lipking, Lawrence I., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, He was a servant to the public, a writer for hire. He was a hero, an author adding to the glory of his nation. But can a writer be both hack and hero? The career of Samuel Johnson, recounted here by Lawrence Lipking, proves that the two can be one. And it further proves, in its enduring interest for readers, that academic fashions today may be a bit hasty in pronouncing the "death of the author." A book about the life of an author, about how an author is made, not born, Lipking's "Samuel Johnson" is the story of the man as he lived--and lives--in his work. Tracing Johnson's rocky climb from anonymity to fame, in the course of which he came to stand for both the greatness of English literature and the good sense of the common reader, the book shows how this life transformed the very nature of authorship. Beginning with the defiant letter to Chesterfield that made Johnson a celebrity, "Samuel Johnson" offers fresh readings of all the writer's major works, viewed through the lens of two ongoing preoccupations: the urge to do great deeds--and the sense that bold expectations are doomed to disappointment. Johnson steers between the twin perils of ambition and despondency. Mounting a challenge to the emerging industry that glorified and capitalized on Shakespeare, he stresses instead the playwright's power to cure the illusions of everyday life. All Johnson's works reveal his extraordinary sympathy with ordinary people. In his groundbreaking "Dictionary," in his poems and essays, and in" The Lives of the English Poets," we see Johnson becoming the key figure in the culture of literacy that reaches from his day to our own.

LOVE'S WAY: The Union of Body, Ego, Soul and Spirit

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schaeffer, Brenda, PUBLISHER: Hazelden, In this celebratory book, Dr. Schaeffer transports us beyond her best-seller, "Is It Love or Is It Addiction? "and makes clear that love is not an addiction. But "what is love?" Exploring the pain, perils and pitfalls of relationships in our time, grounding herself in extensive clinical experience with love addiction and other disorders of loving, she cracks the mystery of love wide open. Through an enlightened series of "Memos from Love," that came to her in quiet meditation, the book became much greater than her original vision and took on a life of its own. "Love's Way "soars beyond psychology to become the first guide to modern love that does full justice to the power, beauty, mystery, and omnipresence of love itself. With compassion, it reminds us how trauma, betrayal, and the loss of innocence leave our hearts raw, wounded and closed to a love that is right at our fingertips. Love speaks to us directly in this book, and its voice is strong. Besides telling us what love is and is not, love offers body, ego, soul and spirit challenging assignments that assure a vibrant love life and walk us into the 21st Century. Chock-full of modern insight, ancient wisdom, and stories and poems that range from consulting room accounts to the ecstatic songs of Rumi, "Love's Way," will convince readers that whether or not they are in a relationship, they are definitely "in love"-already caught up in love's transforming power. Exercises at the end of this philosophical and profoundly satisfying book add the practical element needed to take love to the streets. For people who have become disconnected from the joys of the heart, this phenomenal book by Brenda Schaeffer is a must read.
