Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Winner:12th New Hampshire Literary Award, PoetryIn this series of poems responding to Johann Sebastian Bach's spectacular "Goldberg Variations," New Hampshire State Poet Laureate Alice B. Fogel has paid homage to a 274-year-old masterpiece and, with the theme of spirit and embodiment that m…usic-and life itself-evoke, has rendered from it a luminous new interpretation. Bach created the Goldbergs' 32 sections using nearly all the styles of western European music at the time; Fogel responds in kind with a range of contemporary poetic styles, including narrative, lyric, and experimental, all confined within the 32-line structure she has borrowed from the composer's 32-bar format.Intervalmimics the "baroque" effects of overlapping melodies and harmonies by layering sound, syntax, and sense in multiple voices exploring self, identity, and being. In capturing the essence of this iconic masterpiece, through these poems Fogel has created her own music.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 2008, after a record-breaking career as a D1 college baseball player, Emil DeAndreis' life seemed set: He was twenty-three, in great shape, and had just been offered a contract to pitch professionally in Europe.Then his body fell apart.It started with elbow stiffness, then swelling in hi…s wrist. Soon, his fingers were too bloated to grip a baseball. He had Rheumatoid Arthritis, a disease that causes swelling and eventual deterioration of the joints, mostly targeting old people and women.Hard To Grip tells the story of a young man's body giving out when he needs it most. It chronicles an ascending sports career, the ups and downs of life in the NCAA, and the challenges of letting go of pro baseball due to a dehumanizing condition. In a series of humorous anecdotes, Emil takes the reader on his bittersweet journey of a young man's having to grapple with an "old woman's disease." From striking out future major leaguer All Stars, to sitting in support groups; from breaking university records, to barely making it up the stairs; from language barriers with Chinese healers to figuring out how to be employed as a vegetable, this book unveils the disease with humor and fearless honesty through the eyes of an unlikely victim. This memoir is an honest, rueful and at times hilarious story about learning to come to terms with a new reality, and an inspiring account of how Emil learned to run with the disease and not from it.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In this profound and poetically written novel by the award-winning Mauritanian author Beyrouk, a young man, Nadir, must confront his inner demons in the wake of a passionate act of violence that left a woman lying unresponsive at the water's edge. In a state of moral confusion, he flees the… scene of the crime and joins up with a friend who acts as a tour guide for foreign tourists camping in the desert where he is hired as the group's "griot" or storyteller for the wide-eyed children of the families seeking the real desert experience. As he regales them with fantastic tales of djinns and far-away worlds, he grapples with his conscience as to whether or not he should turn himself in and confess his crime to the police. Beyrouk brings the desert to life with vivid descriptions of the dunes, the stars and the emptiness of the sub-Saharan region while recounting his protagonist's outer and inner voyages. Wrestling with his own dilemna, Nadir reflects on his father, a much beloved griot and guide, who had been falsely accused and condemned for a crime. In a narrative that brings to mind Albert Camus' The Stranger and the writing of Antoine de St. Exupery, Beyrouk draws the reader deep into this young man's moral anxiety and fears as he determines the right path to take.

In the course of her writing residency over a three-year period in the village of Auvillar, the author learns of acts of bravery and rebellion on the part of several of the Jewish families and individuals who risked their lives to save innocent refugees and children orphaned by the Holocaust, and gradually gains their trust enough for them to share the details of their harrowing experiences of rebellion and resistance. The author in turn discovers truths about her own life and Jewish heritage in America, which she now sees in the light of the bravery and selflessness of those who elected to act and not stand by idly in the face of oppression and genocide".

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The first full-length, authoritative, and detailed story of the iconic actor's life to go beyond the Hollywood scandal-sheet reporting of earlier books, this account offers an appreciation for the man and his acting career and the classic films he starred in, painting a portrait of an indiv…idual who took great risks in his acting and career. Although Lee Marvin is best known for his icy tough guy roles-such as his chilling titular villain in The ManWho Shot Liberty Valance or the paternal yet brutally realistic platoon leader in The Big Red One-very little is known of his personal life; his family background; his experiences in WWII; his relationship with his father, family, friends, wives; and his ongoing battles with alcoholism, rage, and depression, occasioned by his postwar PTSD. Now, after years of researching and compiling interviews with family members, friends, and colleagues; rare photographs; and illustrative material, Hollywood writer Dwayne Epstein provides a full understanding and appreciation of this acting titan's place in the Hollywood pantheon in spite of his very real and human struggles.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This is an intimate and revealing biography of Agnes Martin, renowned American painter, considered one of the great women artists of the 20th and 21st Century. A resident of both New Mexico and New York City, Martin has always remained an enigma due to her fiercely guarded private life. Hen…ry Martin, award-winning writer, and art scholar, having access to those who were close to Agnes Martin-friends, family, former lovers-gives us a full portrait of this universally revered artist. Readers will learn of her bouts with mental illness, her several significant lesbian relationships, and her lifelong yearning for recognition despite her reclusive lifestyle and need for privacy. Arriving in the wake of major international retrospective exhibitions of her work from London's Tate Modern, LACMA in Los Angeles, and the Guggenheim in New York City, this book provides a perspective of Agnes Martin that has not been seen in earlier, more academic works or fine-art monographs. Certain to be a mainstay for readers of the arts, and admirers of the creative spirit, this book also includes rare photographs from Martin's family and friends, many of which have never appeared in a book before. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
