Method Aging and Improvisational Longevity
ISBN: 9781456577216 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. YOU are a bodymind, not a body with a mind or vice versa. You are a verb, not a noun. You are fluid, constantly changing. The static you is a persistent illusion. You... your self, persona, ego...who you are... is a construct that is formed by the interaction of genetics, imprinting, and learning. You have little input into this process until after you have been thoroughly shaped by parents, peers and culture. Now consider that this you that you now seem to be is, actually, very much like a fictitious character that may appear in a novel, play or movie and may be re-written, re-produced and...

Tabloid Haiku!
ISBN: 9781456447144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. TABLOID HAIKU Is a collection of haiku based on tabloid headlines. The inspiration for composing these haiku came to me one afternoon while standing in a supermarket checkout line listening to a fellow customer read loudly from the Weekly World News. Off the wall and beyond the fringe pulp poetry resonated down the supermarket aisles as the man read through the paper, then folded it neatly and placed it back on the rack. Haiku immediately came to mind, since the utter strangeness of many of these gems gave them an almost koan-like quality.

A Million Mfas Are Not Enough
ISBN: 9781597097246 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Something is rotten in the state of American poetry. With respect to audience and artistry, poetry has shot itself in many portions of its anatomy, and keeps blasting. The fact that vast numbers of poems are published every year, and a large number of Creative Writing students and graduates combine to read a few of them, does not mean that poetry is on the right track. How has the erstwhile Queen of the Arts been consigned to the tiny corner of the cultural basement where she languishes today and how can she get out? As an acclaimed poet and veteran teacher of poetry, Charles Harper Webb... Something is rotten in the state of American poetry.

As The Tao of Aging opens, we encounter a strange old, sage-like Chinese philosopher and raconteur who claims to actually be Zhuangzi (ChuangTzu) - the second most important originator of Taoist thought after Lao Tzu. Zhuangzi now lives in San Francisco and is known simply as "Z." As it turns out, over 2000 years after his exploits in ancient China, "Z" is still rambling about the world - trickster to the bone - tinkering with the way we look at what we call reality. He insists that he is not some mythical Taoist Immortal whose condition is due to an alchemical elixir but rather an ordinary...

Liver
ISBN: 9780299165741 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The poems in Liver come at the reader from many angles at once, like a whirlwind or a warm shower. Charles Harper Webb is a poet of contradictions: humor and heartbreak, depth and accessibility, playfulness and seriousness, raw energy and careful craft. His poems glorify the spirit, but also the flesh, exemplified by the liver, the organ whose name contains the injunction Live great One-Who-Lives, so we can too. Even at their darkest, their most outraged and sorrowing, Webb s poems affirm the world, and help us live in it gladly.
Winner of the 1999 Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry,... The poems in Liver come at the reader from many angles at once, like a whirlwind or a warm shower. Charles Harper Webb is a poet of contradicti...
