Ironic Witness
ISBN: 9781625647443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A minister's wife finds herself in hell. The story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16:19-31 gives a chilling insight into the afterlife. It is a story that is not often addressed because it makes clear the separation of people upon death. Frank Winscott, a retired minister, works at comparing translations of the Bible. Eugena has ignored her husband's work and his sermons all her life. Instead, she finds meaning in her potter's shed, where she makes different forms of ziggurats that she places in her kiln, a little symbol of hell. Though Eugena rejects Frank's insistence that there is a...

The Collector of Bodies
ISBN: 9781532603020 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A 1994 trip to Syria and Jordan as an Arts America Speaker for the United States Information Agency began the group of poems for The Collector of Bodies. The manuscript stayed in a file until the Civil War began in Syria, March 18, 2011, the author's 70th birthday. The poems were retrieved, and the manuscript continued. Glancy wrote as an observer--as someone who had talked to the students in the universities--who had experienced a foreboding of what was ahead for Syria, especially after listening to the unrest of the students. In the bright sunlight, as they walked toward her, smiling, she...

Fort Marion Prisoners and the Trauma of Native Education
ISBN: 9780803249677 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At the end of the Southern Plains Indian wars in 1875, the War Department shipped seventy-two Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Comanche, and Caddo prisoners from Fort Sill, Oklahoma, to Fort Marion in St. Augustine, Florida. These most resistant Native people, referred to as trouble causers, arrived to curious, boisterous crowds eager to see the Indian warriors they knew only from imagination. Fort Marion Prisoners and the Trauma of Native Education is an evocative work of creative nonfiction, weaving together history, oral traditions, and personal experience to tell the story of these...

One of Us
ISBN: 9781625647047 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many towns have their murderers, but are they also members of a church, a Boy Scout leader, or president of the congregation? Could they be trusted to bring a covered dish faithfully to church suppers? This novel takes the BTK murders in Wichita, Kansas, as inspiration to question issues of evil. How could a man commit murder and yet sit in church all those years until he was caught? What is a Christian? What is Christianity? Can a Christian murderer go to heaven? Mark Cabot and Ralph Gheary, minister and assistant minister of the church to which murderer Thomas Fout belonged, disagree as...

The Shadow's Horse
ISBN: 9780816523283 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is a saying in Native American tradition that "wholeness is when the shadow of the rider and his horse are one." Although we usually focus our attention on what seems most real, Diane Glancy shows us that the shadow of our past has substance as well.
The Shadow's Horse is a new collection of poems in which Glancy walks the margin between her white and Indian heritage. In poems that conjure the persistence of fallen leaves or juxtapose images of Christ and the stockyards, she powerfully evokes place and spirit to address with intelligence and beauty issues of family,...

Primer of the Obsolete
ISBN: 9781558494442 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 53 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This remarkable collection of poems explores the conjoined cultures of Indian and European, the revisions the conquered race must face, and the disruption that results from the attempt to combine divergent cultures in a single being. These poems speak from a four-cornered world; Cherokee and white, Christian and conjuring. They attempt to retrieve fragments of language from a nearly erased culture. At times, they speak in the spirit of the remembered language with the new language that is not fully formed in the understanding of the narrator. The poems have roots in history, religion, and...

The Keyboard Letters
ISBN: 9781543223804 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Keyboard Letters acknowledges the infinite variety of combinations of the alphabet that enable our different searches for meaning. As Captain Ahab after Moby Dick, and Salvadore Dali after images with which to arrange his frenetic world, QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM is after the building blocks of language that face the rough weather of North Central Texas and the rougher terrain along a county road. Poetry is a map, a cartography of the Daliesque discovery of America and the Pequodian discovery of the whale, breaking the ship into what can be seen as mathematic formulas. Poetry is a...
