Описание: A Corresponding Renaissance is a sourcebook of fifty-four letters written by Italian Renaissance women, newly translated into English (many for the first time ever).
Cradle to Comfort is exactly what God Himself did for me. Throughout the years, he is an ever-present guide in my life. He took what others denied and kept every promise for a beautiful life, one of which I can only acclaim to be His. I certainly could not have accomplished everything I have without the Lord. In Cradle to Comfort, I found strength, courage, faith and so much more I never imagined possible. I owe my life and all I am to Jesus Christ.
I pour my heart out there so that others may know just how empowering a faith walk can be. From recovery to restoration, struggles to find inner strength, and all the mysteries of life can result from the choice to follow him and trust in him. I am who I am because of others along the path, but mostly because God designed me to stand out, not fit in.
To God be the glory for lost Janie finding her way in life, no longer be scared of what might be or what wasn't meant to be. She was that eagle that got her wings clipped, wounded, and hurt yet healed and mended beyond all I ever thought possible.

Описание: Long before vacationers discovered BC’s Sunshine Coast, the Sliammon, a Coast Salish people, called the region home. In this remarkable book, Sliammon elder Elsie Paul collaborates with a scholar, Paige Raibmon, and her granddaughter, Harmony Johnson, to tell her life story and the history of her people, in her own words and storytelling style. Raised by her grandparents who took her on their seasonal travels, Paul spent most of her childhood learning Sliammon ways, teachings, and stories and is one of the last surviving mother-tongue speakers of the Sliammon language. She shares this traditional knowledge with future generations in Written as I Remember It.

Описание:
Systemic racism and sexism caused one of South Africa’s most important writers to disappear from public consciousness. Is it possible to justly restore her historical presence? Regina Gelana Twala, a Black South African woman who died in 1968 in Swaziland (now Eswatini), was an extraordinarily prolific writer of books, columns, articles, and letters. Yet today Twala’s name is largely unknown. Her literary achievements are forgotten. Her books are unpublished. Her letters languish in the dusty study of a deceased South African academic. Her articles are buried in discontinued publications. Joel Cabrita asserts that Twala’s posthumous obscurity has not developed accidentally as she exposes the ways prejudices around race and gender blocked Black African women like Twala from establishing themselves as successful writers. Drawing upon Twala’s family papers, interviews, newspapers, and archival records from Pretoria, Uppsala, and Los Angeles, Cabrita argues that an entire cast of characters—censorious editors, territorial White academics, apartheid officials, and male African politicians whose politics were at odds with her own—conspired to erase Twala’s legacy. Through her unique documentary output, Twala marked herself as a radical voice on issues of gender, race, and class. The literary gatekeepers of the racist and sexist society of twentieth-century southern Africa clamped down by literally writing her out of the region’s history. Written Out also scrutinizes the troubled racial politics of African history as a discipline that has been historically dominated by White academics, a situation that many people within the field are now examining critically. Inspired by this recent movement, Cabrita interrogates what it means for her—a White historian based in the Northern Hemisphere—to tell the story of a Black African woman. Far from a laudable “recovery” of an important lost figure, Cabrita acknowledges that her biography inevitably reproduces old dynamics of White scholarly privilege and dominance. Cabrita’s narration of Twala’s career resurrects it but also reminds us that Twala, tragically, is still not the author of her own life story.
First published in 1919 by Ezra Pound, Ernest Fenollosa’s essay on the Chinese written language has become one of the most often quoted statements in the history of American poetics. As edited by Pound, it presents a powerful conception of language that continues to shape our poetic and stylistic preferences: the idea that poems consist primarily of images; the idea that the sentence form with active verb mirrors relations of natural force. But previous editions of the essay represent Pound’s understanding—it is fair to say, his appropriation—of the text. Fenollosa’s manuscripts, in the Beinecke Library of Yale University, allow us to see this essay in a different light, as a document of early, sustained cultural interchange between North America and East Asia. Pound’s editing of the essay obscured two important features, here restored to view: Fenollosa’s encounter with Tendai Buddhism and Buddhist ontology, and his concern with the dimension of sound in Chinese poetry. This book is the definitive critical edition of Fenollosa’s important work. After a substantial Introduction, the text as edited by Pound is presented, together with his notes and plates. At the heart of the edition is the first full publication of the essay as Fenollosa wrote it, accompanied by the many diagrams, characters, and notes Fenollosa (and Pound) scrawled on the verso pages. Pound’s deletions, insertions, and alterations to Fenollosa’s sometimes ornate prose are meticulously captured, enabling readers to follow the quasi-dialogue between Fenollosa and his posthumous editor. Earlier drafts and related talks reveal the developmentof Fenollosa’s ideas about culture, poetry, and translation. Copious multilingual annotation is an important feature of the edition. This masterfully edited book will be an essential resource for scholars and poets and a starting point for a renewed discussion of the multiple sources of American modernist poetry.

Описание: The literary canon of World War 1 - celebrated for realising the experience of an entire generation - ignores writing by women. To the sorrows that war has always brought them - the loss of husbands, lovers, brothers - the Great War added a revolutionary knowledge. And all the time they wrote - letters, poetry, novels, short stories, memoirs.
Описание: Life suddenly does not make sense to Joni--wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, nurse. Generational gaps are widening, professional practices are viewed differently, family seems distant and out of touch with what she is experiencing, and God appears to be of no help. Amid this turmoil, she feels the need to act and thus develops a plan which includes feigning senility in her seventies for the purpose of landing herself in an assisted living facility. There, in a place called Borealis in northern Minnesota, Joni plans to collect data on what it feels like to be old, institutionalized, and experiencing mental deficits, hoping those insights would write this book. Painfully, she decides that even her family and friends will need to be deceived. At Borealis, Joni meets a host of colorful characters including a precious gems dealer turned philanthropist, an ex-nun who married a Jew, and a woman who stages her own death to heal her divided family. And then there is Sam, a man tormented by dysfunctional grief--unexpressed and unresolved secondary to guilt. Joni's project ends up teaching her more than she set out to learn, as professional journey turns personal when she learns about the nurse she should have been and the old person she wants to become. And a brewing spiritual conflict is brought to a full boil when the life of her second love is threatened much like her first. Ambivalence throughout this story is apparent as Joni tugs war between light-hearted and heavy-hearted postures toward both the developmental stage of older adulthood and her own aging process. She exposes what many old can relate to about the many aspects of society to which they can no longer relate. Then she takes a stab at why. And in the end, all is not as it seemed.
