Revised and updated! Featuring four new, never before published works, this edition of L.E. Harrison's poetry and short story collection features the edited text of the previous edition, along with commentary from the author. L.E. Harrison’s poetry and short story collection spans four decades of writing and publishing. It begins in 1983 with the poem, SHADOW (written when she was fifteen), and ends in 2019 with A WRITER’S LAMENT. KNOWLEDGE OF THE GODS was written in 1997 as an homage to horror writer, Stephen King. The stories I and FAST FORWARD/REWIND reflect collective, as well as individual, spiritual journeys. The stories NINE DAYS, GUILLOTINE, DELUSIONS GRANDER, and THE OTHER ARTHUR: PART ONE blend dark humor and magic realism with touches of surrealism. Each poem is a snapshot of a thought, an exploration of an idea, or a deeply personal attempt to answer a universal question. This collection is an intimate look into the mind and heart of one of the most unique voices of a generation. Reviews: John J. Rinck 5.0 out of 5 stars Tha-thump, tha-thump, tha-thump... March 27, 2013 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase This collection of "uncollected" thoughts gives a rare glimpse of the birth and evolution of an artist. Composed of three parts, one for each self-defined era of her life, LE Harrison evolves from a young, poetic writer with a skeptical yet hopeful view of the world, to an older and wiser sage that still clings to hope, though seems now to have figured out that much of her skepticism was in many ways well perceived. In "Rainbows", written in 1984, the author shows an insight into her early skeptical view of the world with the line "Artists that bloom with a song in their midst capture the feelings I know don't exist." Yet by the time she writes "I", many years later, she seems to acknowledge the important role of artistic expression, though going not so far as to condone its true motivations. However, this is not a book to read linearly or all at once, nor is there a defined pattern. The true beauty of this collection lies in the ability to be able to randomly flip through the book and be able to have your mood set by whatever page you land on. You will question mankind in "I", and will laugh at mankind in "Nine Days". You will see yourself in this book, even if you don't at first realize it.

Essays on music, art, pop culture, literature, and politics by the renowned essayist and observer of contemporary life, now collected together for the first time. The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick is a companion collection to The Collected Essays, a book that proved a revelation of what, for many, had been an open secret: that Elizabeth Hardwick was one of the great American literary critics, and an extraordinary stylist in her own right. The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here—none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick’s work—make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner’s Parsifal to Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick’s passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.

The first-ever collection of essays from across Elizabeth Hardwick's illustrious writing career, including works not seen in print for decades. A New York Times Notable Book of 2017 Elizabeth Hardwick wrote during the golden age of the American literary essay. For Hardwick, the essay was an imaginative endeavor, a serious form, criticism worthy of the literature in question. In the essays collected here she covers civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s, describes places where she lived and locations she visited, and writes about the foundations of American literature—Melville, James, Wharton—and the changes in American fiction, though her reading is wide and international. She contemplates writers’ lives—women writers, rebels, Americans abroad—and the literary afterlife of biographies, letters, and diaries. Selected and with an introduction by Darryl Pinckney, the Collected Essays gathers more than fifty essays for a fifty-year retrospective of Hardwick’s work from 1953 to 2003. “For Hardwick,” writes Pinckney, “the poetry and novels of America hold the nation’s history.” Here is an exhilarating chronicle of that history.

From one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the past century—a collection of essays, articles, reviews, and interviews that have never before been gathered in a single volume. “An absorbing portrait of Baldwin’s time—and of him.” —New York Review of Books James Baldwin was an American literary master, renowned for his fierce engagement with issues haunting our common history. In The Cross of Redemption we have Baldwin discoursing on, among other subjects, the possibility of an African-American president and what it might mean; the hypocrisy of American religious fundamentalism; the black church in America; the trials and tribulations of black nationalism; anti-Semitism; the blues and boxing; Russian literary masters; and the role of the writer in our society. Prophetic and bracing, The Cross of Redemption is a welcome and important addition to the works of a cosmopolitan and canonical American writer who still has much to teach us about race, democracy, and personal and national identity. As Michael Ondaatje has remarked, “If van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, Baldwin [was] our twentieth-century one.”

This book focuses on W. B. Yeats’s critical writings, an aspect of his oeuvre which has been given limited treatment so far. It traces his critical work from his earliest articles, through to his occult treatises, and all the way to his last pamphlets, in which he sought to delineate the idea of a literary culture: a community of people willing to credit poetry with the central role in imagining and organising social praxis throughout society. The chapters of this study investigate the contexts in which Yeats’s thought developed, his many disputes over the shape of Irish cultural politics, the future of poetry and the place literature occupies in the world. What transpires is an image of Yeats who is strung between the impulses of faith in the existence of a supernatural order and ironic scepticism as to the possibility of ever capturing that order in language. This study is distinguished by its grounding of Yeats's critical agenda in a broader context through textual analysis. In addition, it organises and systematises his conceptions of poetry and its social role through its approach to his criticism as a fully-fledged area of his artistic practice. The monograph has been written within the framework of the project financed by The National Science Centre, Cracow, Poland, pursuant to the decision number DEC-2013/09/D/HS2/02782.

It introduces the reader to some twenty works by the most important Indian Perfection of Wisdom writers, and to the earlier Tibetan traditions of Ngok and Dolpopa, and the traditions of Buton and Nyaon. This translation makes available, for the first time in English, an example of the rich Tibetan Perfection of Wisdom commentarial tradition and will be of interest to both scholars and informed general readers alike.
