Описание:
Set on the trans-Siberian railway, these poems take up themes of mobility as well as the body and the self created through loss. In the collection, loss is generated through travel as it strips away the mundane routines used to define ourselves, such as homes, careers, families. For example, one poem focuses on the interaction between the speaker and an elderly Russian woman who perceives something evil in the speaker's surgery scars despite the brief encounter. In each poem, we see the speaker evolving and redefining self-identity through location, through unexpected connections and disconnections, through the present and the past. Dorris focuses on the body's role in mobility and self-creation because she has a genetic bone disorder which causes benign tumors, or osteocondromas, to form at her joints. As she grew, so did the tumors interfering with normal growth patterns; her right leg is shorter, her right arm is several inches longer, and she has strange knobs of bone sticking out. All that said, she walks, jogs if she must, dances and hopscotches (although not gracefully). For years she avoided writing about disability because she wanted to avoid sounding melodramatic and self-pitying, but while completing an MFA, she realized her disability colored the way she perceives the world and her role inside it; consequently, her poetics lean towards erasing, running, and eventually disassembling illusions, as well as contributing to the dialogue of disability poetics.
In this powerful and inspiring collection, six courageous women share their stories of heartache, loss, and discovery. They have lived through adversity and come out on the other side, happier, healthier and infinitely stronger.
Through their experiences, you'll find comfort, encouragement and tested strategies to find a life of freedom, compassion, joy and much more.

Their wisdom and insights can help you to awaken and deepen to truth to overcome obstacles and fulfill your heart s desires.
Описание: In Coal Dust Dreamer, author Jim Dorris is able to captivate readers with his experiences in Western Kentucky during the late 1940s, '50s and early '60s. By examining his thoughts and feelings through poetic and photographic snapshots, Dorris gives readers the opportunity to imagine a simpler time.
Nostalgia is a present theme throughout this book, especially within the photographs, which were all taken by the author's mother. Although a unique phenomenon at the time, Dorris' mother captured life through taking photographs and developing them for future generations. Dorris has used these photographs and his poetry throughout Coal Dust Dreamer, hoping that readers will rediscover a part of their past, whether or not they were reared in Kentucky.
