Cinematic Fictions: The Impact of the Cinema on the American Novel Up to the Second World War
ISBN: 9781846318122 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The phrase 'cinematic fiction' has now been generally accepted into critical discourse, but is usually applied to post-war novels. This book asks a simple question: given their fascination with the new medium of film, did American novelists attempt to apply cinematic methods in their own writings? From its very beginnings the cinema has played a special role in defining American culture. Covering the period from the 1910s up to the Second World War, Cinematic Fictions offers new insights into classics like The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath discussing major writers' critical writings on...

Imagining Apocalypse: Studies in Cultural Crisis
ISBN: 9780312222796 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume brings together essays by specialists in different disciplines on the cultural expression of apocalypse, in particular in anglophone science fiction of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Approaching these works from historical, philosophical, linguistic and literary perspectives, the contributors examine the relationship between secular and spiritual apocalypse, connecting the fiction and films to their historical moment. Not surprisingly, war recurs throughout this material, as a critical turning-point, fulfilment of prophecy, or prelude to a new age. In particular the...

Identity Papers
ISBN: 9781848614703 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The prose poems in Identity Papers seek to construct a living bridge between the self and its shadow, between the self and other, and between present and past. They do so with a vulnerable faith, working with Heidegger's dictum that all things must be allowed their time in darkness. Along the way, their narrators meet a series of disturbing, irresistible strangers. Identity Papers follows on from Makers of Empty Dreams (Shearsman, 2014). It is the second volume in a trilogy of prose poem collections.

Makers of Empty Dreams
ISBN: 9781848613454 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With a sparse, haunting, often playful lyricism, the makers of empty dreams emerge like figures in the reels of an old, almost abandoned film. Their stories, often set in different countries which we may or may not know, tell of loss and estrangement, of betrayal and reconciliation, and of a search for the possibilities of renewal along the way.

Do You Know the BEST Part?
ISBN: 9781613790540 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do You Know the BEST Part? In pinnacle, best-part moments when life is going well, you may wonder, Can it get any better than this? On the other end of the spectrum when everything is a struggle, you question, Can my life get any worse? That was my thought when poor choices placed our marriage in shambles, beyond our ability to salvage or restore. It took enormous effort just to exist through all of the pain caused by our separation and eventual divorce. But God gets the Glory for the happy ending to our story. Without His healing, restoration, and reconciliation, we would have missed the...

New York Hotel
ISBN: 9781848615724 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The delight of Ian Seed's brilliantly droll poems is that they are not entirely droll. They look and sound normal, like brief prose anecdotes told in a bar but the apparent normality is edged with disorientation, menace and anxiety. We slip over the edge in an instant and look to recover our balance but can't quite.

Anonymous Intruder
ISBN: 9781848610286 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The poems and prose poems in Anonymous Intruder navigate the vulnerabilities revealed in relationships, only to abandon these in a wandering search for new encounters and new truths. The seeking 'self' goes into exile to be shattered and reconstructed. In a hesitant movement towards the transcendental, the poems consider the possibility and impossibility of returning home. They must first find a way to recognise the stranger approaching from a distance. Although these narratives are fragmented and elliptical, the imagery is stark and clear, the language concise, the rhythms and patterns...

Shifting Registers
ISBN: 9781848611597 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Witha fragmented yet rich lyricism, 'Shifting Registers' crosses bordersbetween lost and rediscoveredidentity.The voices in the poems may be tentative and vulnerable, regretfuland haunting, or playful and provocative, as they relive and re-imaginehalf-remembered journeys and encounters. That which has become strange through its distance in the pastbecomes once again familiar, whilethat which isnearin the presentbegins tobeunknowable. Shifting Registers seeks to reconcile the two, and to construct a wholeness for the future, yet without resort to easy answers or false resolution. Throughout,...

A Journey of Brokenness My first introduction to brokenness came at the young age of seven. My parent's divorce chained our family to everyday terms such as broken home, single parent family, and child support. Not wanting to experience the pain, I constructed walls of determination to become a survivor. A survivor determined to never divorce. I discovered however, love and determination wasn't enough when my own marriage of 29 years crumbled to infidelity. Now broken again, the walls tumbled down and forced me to embrace the pain of brokenness. Grieving the losses in my life hurt so deeply,...
