What happens to poetry in a culture that no longer depends on books? Dana Gioia dismisses the standard clichés about poetry's precarious place in a society transformed by electronic media. Looking at both the literary world and popular entertainment, Gioia's provocative and original title essay offers a compelling account of how new technologies and innovative forms of oral poetry--rap, slam, spoken word, performance art--are revitalizing the art in unexpected ways. As recent surveys of American...

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will hurt me until the day I die. I dedicate this work to the clients of my forty-six years of therapy and pastoral work who have shared their pain and sorrow inflicted by words. No wound is more difficult to overcome than the wound caused by words. Love is destroyed by words. Families are separated by words. Young lives are placed on roads that lead to dead-ends and destructions by words. Careers are ended, reputations are lost and wars are begun all...

Considered to be António Lobo Antunes's masterpiece, The Land at the End of the World-now in a new and fully restored translation by acclaimed translator Margaret Jull Costa-recounts the anguished tale of a Portuguese medic haunted by memories of war, who, like the Ancient Mariner, will tell his tale to anyone who listens. In the tradition of William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, Lobo Antunes weaves words into an exhilarating tapestry, imbuing his prose with the grace and resonance of poetry...

All that the Prophets have Spoken is a fresh look at the Word of God, from the perspective of a Muslim reader. All the Prophets begins at the beginning—with creation—as performed by a truly Great God. Then touching on the lives of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Enoch, Noah, Job, Abraham, Ishmael, and on through the end, All the Prophets outlines where each Prophet fits in history. The book concludes by summarizing the prophecies of the Prophets themselves, focusing on three key events in history...

2007, Zoe / Rounder Despite its title, the new Cowboy Junkies album, At the End of Paths Taken, is as much about new beginnings as it is about endings. It is also about human connections, the struggle to sustain those connections over time, and the complexities that can arise even when those connections are maintained. It is, in other words, a classic Cowboy Junkies album - a suite of smart, richly textured songs that value subtlety over broad, generic strokes, songs that prize insight and casual...

That war, Portugal's doomed attempt to hang on to its African colony, lasted from 1961 to 1974. It was conducted ineptly by the Fascist regime of dictator António de Oliveira Salazar. The unnamed narrator, a doctor, was conscripted in 1971. He presents us with three selves. The first is the thumbnail sketch of a child and young man who is the product of right-wing youth movements and Catholic ritual. A loner, he is the prisoner of melancholy. That word permeates the novel. The second self is the...

Michael Timmins, chief songwriter and producer/arranger of the Cowboy Junkies, has always written "relationship" songs, though not in the general sense of the word. Timmins has never been satisfied with easy answers. And in the languid, slow, cough syrup delivery of sister Margo to express them, and the band to underscore that performance, he's never had to settle. The music has always gone down gently, though the lyrics to these terse melodies have been complex, often ambivalent or riddled with...

As a hospice nurse and the former president of the Hospice Foundation for Caring, Harris has seen more than her share of death. In this collection of 44 real-life stories, she shares her own journeys with patients in their final days with an eye not only to what the dying experience, but what those last days, weeks and months may teach those of us who walk with them. Regardless of our lifelong faith, or lack thereof, Harris believes, most dying people come to experience God's unconditional love and...

This is no typical book on how to improve the church. This is a very strong word to the Body of Christ on what9s ahead for God9s people. As a theological-Biblical treatise it is the best exposition I have seen on the subject of the Church and end-times. But it is more than that - it is a major prophetic word to the Church about her future - a warning that days of persecution and suffering are ahead. But that persecution and suffering is set in the context of God9s glory and eternal purpose - and...
