THE UNABRIDGED JOURNALS OF SYLVIA PLATH BY SYLVIA PLATH

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 








They are a significant contribution to our understanding of Plath and Plath
scholarship.

It is because of this confusion between the two, that the Unabridged Journals
bear the burden of illumination. Despite the fact that she wrote from the
emotional realities of her life, one cannot stress enough, how important it is
to separate the person from the creative result. But the speaker in her poetry
is just as multidimensional as Plath was herself. Many admirers make the mistake
of imagining Plath to be a Phaedra-a spurned woman, a dangerous woman, and a
victim. Even admiring lenses can cloud one's judgment. Although, beware, her
work is seen through many lenses. However, if you believe Plath is one of the
more important poets of the 20th century and that she's had a lasting effect on
lyric poetry, one cannot deny the import of her work. By announcing your
admiration for Plath, you may find yourself under suspicion for morbidity, bad
taste, and even doctrinaire feminism.

Quite instinctively, one knows the implications that may be drawn when
acknowledging a liking for her poetry. Unfortunately, her personal life, and the
circumstances surrounding her death have had an adverse effect on how she is
read. Those who have championed her work find they do so at personal cost. The
Problem of Sylvia Plath, Her Poetry, and the Necessity of Her Journalsīecause of
her suicide at the age of 30, many critics have labeled her either immature or
hysterical-while other critics have taken it upon themselves to defend her
integrity.

It is a manual for facing the most urgent crises of our time-environmental
collapse, late capitalism, white supremacy, heteropatriarchy-without drowning in
the enormity of the task." - Public Books "If your survival kit has room for a
book, you’d better reserve that space for Emergent Strategy.

Rather than run from it or resist it, we should embrace it, look to what the
plants, animals, and genomes can teach us about adapting to survive and to
thrive.” - BuzzFeed Her philosophy, based on Octavia Butler’s guiding philosophy
of the Earthseed books, is that God Is Change. She is matter of-fact about the
coming destruction we face-of our environment, of our resources, of our
governments. “It was a revelation to discover Adrienne Maree Brown’s Emergent
Strategy.

Ritchie, author of Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and
Women of Color Brown not only inspires me to resist, but to do in the most
beautiful, joyful, creative, sustainable, collective and effective ways.”
Andrea, J. “Emergent Strategy is an examination of where our movements have been
and an offering of a framework for resistance that is rooted in the miracles of
nature, decentralized, collective leadership, and personal, relational,
organizational, and movement-wide transformation. Right now I can't think of
better girding than Emergent Strategy.” - Detroit Metro Times Now is the time to
gird ourselves for the fight for a new world. “It is the end of the world as we
know it, thanks to a lot of reasons.

THE HAWK BY MONICA MCCARTY

The dramatic high cliffs of the headland came into view ahead of them. Have a
little faith, my fearless young knight.” If the lad didn’t learn to relax, his
heart was going to give out before he reached three and twenty. “But how can you
see anything in this mist?”Įrik sighed. “Rocks?” Randolph said, his voice taking
on a frantic edge.

As the battle for king and country sounds across the shores, will Ellie’s love
be enough to finally tame the legend known as the Hawk? Still, he is a man
driven by loyalty, and she is a woman with secrets that could jeopardize Bruce’s
chance to reclaim his throne. Yet Erik will sweep away Ellie’s resistance with a
desire that resonates deep within her heart. Her captor may look every inch a
rugged warrior, but Ellie vows that it will take more than a wickedly suggestive
caress to impress her.

Worse, this irresistible woman is determined to prove herself immune to Erik’s
charms-a challenge he cannot resist. Ellie’s ordinary appearance belies the
truth: She is in fact Lady Elyne de Burgh, the spirited daughter of the most
powerful noble in Ireland. When Bruce is forced to flee, his bid for freedom
rests on the shoulders of one extraordinary warrior.Įrik MacSorley is a
brilliant seafarer who has never encountered a wind he could not harness or a
woman he could not win-until he drags a wet, half-naked “nursemaid” out of the
waters off the Irish coast. Handpicked by Robert the Bruce to help him in his
quest to free Scotland from English rule, the elite warriors of the Highland
Guard face their darkest days.

In a house haunted by the sorrows of the women who came before her, Justine must
overcome their tragic legacy if she hopes to save herself and her children.

Soon Justine's troubled oldest daughter becomes obsessed with Emily's
disappearance, her mother arrives to steal her inheritance, and the man she left
launches a dangerous plan to get her back. Her only neighbor is a strange old
man who seems to know more about the summer of 1935 than he's telling. The dark,
silent lake is isolated and eerie.

But the long Minnesota winter is just beginning. For Justine, the lake house
offers freedom and stability-a way to escape her manipulative boyfriend and give
her daughters the home she never had. Before her death, she writes the story of
that devastating summer in a notebook that she leaves, along with the house, to
the only person who might care: her grandniece, Justine. Sixty years later,
Lucy, the quiet and watchful middle sister, lives in the lake house alone. Her
disappearance destroys the family-her father commits suicide, and her mother and
two older sisters spend the rest of their lives at the lake house, keeping a
decades-long vigil for the lost child. In 1935, six-year-old Emily Evans
vanishes from her family's vacation home on a remote Minnesota lake. A stunning
debut novel that examines the price of loyalty, the burden of regret, the
meaning of salvation, and the sacrifices we make for those we love, told in the
voices of two unforgettable women linked by a decades-old family mystery at a
picturesque lake house.

In that entry, Sutherland also wrote that she “never really watched the
television show, Little House on the Prairie,” and that her Nellie is based on
the “book character.” Sutherland’s take on Nellie is that “she would have to
have had a pretty sad life to turn into such a brat.” (This from Sutherland’s
blog dated 16 October 2006, no longer online.

I recently read the “Little House / Big Adventure” book titled Nellie Oleson
Meets Laura Ingalls, written by Heather Williams (pseudonym for Tui T. The
following is a personal review of a book I read. Remember that.” – Nellie Oleson

THE DISCOVERY OF INDIA BY JAWAHARLAL NEHRU BOOK REVIEW

5/30/2023

0 Comments

 
















Nehru was jailed for his participation in the Quit India movement along with
other Indian leaders, and he used this time to write down his thoughts and
knowledge about India’s history. The Discovery of India (Hindi: भारत एक खोज) was
written by India‘s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during his imprisonment
in 1942-1946 at Ahmednagar in the Ahmednagar Fort. The book, first published in
1946, prompted Albert Einstein to write to Nehru: “I have read with extreme
interest your marvellous book…It gives an understanding of the glorious
intellectual and spiritual tradition of …India.”

In “The Discovery of India”, Nehru sets out on a voyage of self-discovery and
offers a penetrating analysis of his own motherland.

The regular police are struggling to contain the situation and the pack and
Mercy rush to the scene to offer assistance. The book starts off very
dramatically indeed with an explosive situation involving a troll killing humans
on a bridge spanning the Columbia River. But who will protect them from a boy
who is fire touched?Īs mentioned above I’m not going to go into the plot. And
when coyote shapeshifter Mercy and her Alpha werewolf mate, Adam, are called
upon to stop a rampaging troll, they find themselves with something that could
be used to make the fae back down and forestall out-and-out war: a human child
stolen long ago by the fae.ĭefying the most powerful werewolf in the country,
the humans, and the fae, Mercy, Adam, and their pack choose to protect the boy
no matter what the cost. Tensions between the fae and humans are coming to a
head. In terms of both books – these were bought on audible and I really enjoyed
listening to both – it’s almost like the narrator listened to the voice of Mercy
in my head and plucked it straight out of there – painless thankfully and great
to listen to.īe aware that there may be spoilers for earlier books within the
series contained below.

I’m going to give the synopsis from Goodreads followed by a short overall write
up of my own feelings of each one.

This double review will take a slightly different format than my usual reviews.
Reviews for Fire Touched and Silence Fallen, numbers 9 and 10 in the Mercy
Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.

Today I’m posting a double whammy, a twofer if you will.
