    Olson's theories, which made explicit the principles of his own poetics and those of the Black Mountain poets, were instrumental in defining the sense of the postmodern in poetry and form the basis of most postwar free verse.The Collected Prose brings together in one volume the works published for the most part between 1946 and 1969, many of which are now out of print. A valuable companion to editions of Olson's poetry, the book backgrounds the poetics, preoccupations, and fascinations that underpin his great poems. Included are Call Me Ishmael, a classic of American literary criticism; the influential essays "Projective Verse" and "Human Universe"; and essays, book reviews, and Olson's notes on his studies. In these pieces one can trace the development of his new science of man, called "muthologos," a radical mix of myth and phenomenology that Olson offered in opposition to the mechanistic discourse and rationalizing policy he associated with America's recent wars in Europe and Asia.Editors Donald Allen and Benjamin Friedlander offer helpful annotations throughout, and poet Robert Creeley, who enjoyed a long and mutually influential relationship with Olson, provides the book's introduction.

    Davies discovered they were part of a network of children selling themselves on the streets of the city, running a nightly gauntlet of dangers: pimps, punters, the Vice Squad, disease, drugs. This propelled Davies into a journey of discovery through the slums and ghettoes of our cities. He found himself in crack houses and brothels, he befriended street gangs and drug dealers.Davies' journey into the hidden realm is powerful, disturbing and impressive, and is bound to rouse controversy and demands for change. He unravels threads of Britain`s social fabric as he travels deeper and deeper into the country of poverty, towards the dark heart of British society.

    In addition to all Cave's lyrics recorded with The Bad Seeds during this time, King Ink II includes several lyrics as yet unrecorded, as well as a number written for other artists and for the Wim Wenders films Faraway, So Close! and Until the End of the World. A short film treatment and a substantial essay on the subject of language and the Bible, "The Flesh Made Word, " are among further material which is not available elsewhere.

    Now that's a superhero! This big fat book is hot off the press, chock-full of a second installment of the Flaming Carrot's undisputed gallantry and certitude. Such acts of bravado as inserting carrot sticks up fat dope-dealers' noses, defending the world from a communist plot that changes women's cellulite into a weapon of mass destruction, and unraveling the conundrum of a diabolical technology that turns a Republican governor's head into a...baby head! And all our champion of justice wants in return for his efforts is money to buy golf balls the size of hail! FC just keeps getting sillier and sillier, and better and better. Oh, and as usual, there's lots of provocative women in cutoffs and tight tops…

    Until now his works have rarely been available in English. Now all of the hermit monk's poetry, including his major poetic works, 'Mountain Poems' and 'Gathas', as well as his most illuminating instructional talks (delivered while serving at imperial request as abbot of a Zen monastery), can be read in red Pine's superb translations.

    The lives of outstanding figures such as the Buddha, Walt Whitman, and Gandhi are used to connect the ideal of inner peace with how real people cultivate peace in their everyday lives. Peacefulness as dynamic, selective, and egoless is shown through the constructive act of choosing different ways of life, such as having a smaller family or a more modest career. A message of hope and inspiration permeates this pragmatic approach and is exemplified by the author's own practice of meditation.

    Moon goons raid a redneck picnic. An Advanced Scientific Weapon turns Martians into door-to-door salesmen. A notorious villain grinds innocents up with a lawnmower, then goes home to eat vanilla wafers in the bathtub. No, it's not The Collected Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, it's the mid-'80s icon of tomfoolery, the Champion of Justice, the Dreadnought of Chicanery...the Flaming Carrot. A gun in one hand, a knife in the other (and, naturally, a fiery carrot for a head), 'FC' tackles terrorist death squads, communist hordes, and road hogs from outer space in this wonderful trade reissue of FC comics #1-3, plus previously unreleased material. Cited as "more fun than a Toyota-thon tent-sale with free hot dogs," this guy throws stink bombs, climbs walls with toilet plungers, and wears scuba flippers; and his nuclear-powered pogo stick enables him to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Okay, maybe it's not as important as The Collected Works of F. Scott Fitzgerald, but seriously, what would you rather have on your bookshelf? The back blurb says it all: "Life's not worth living without banana bread, white-wall tires, and Flaming Carrot Comics!" —Edward Lee

    ranging from bread puddings, biscotti, and custards, to cheesecakes and seasonal fruit pies.

    You Are That is a collection of her classic offerings, first shared more than a decade ago and now updated to include both original volumes, a new introduction, rare photographs, and new insights. This exquisite special edition delves into natural inquiries about our existence, including the nature of mind, how to expose the core of suffering, and how to overcome the last obstacle of self-doubt. Eloquent and direct, Gangaji guides practitioners of all backgrounds through an examination into the self that often leads to unexpected glimpses of awakening. "This is a moment of reckoning," she teaches. "Do not take this moment casually or trivially. Recognize that for whatever reason, you are aware of the possibility of realizing the truth of yourself as limitless consciousness—you are that!"

    

    Sports, tools, gals, cars, movies, clothes--this book leaves no stone unturned, no pants "unpantsed" in its pursuit of the eternal masculine. The Von Hoffmann brothers' culinary interests, for example, range all the way from "Colon Cleaner Chili" to a greasy Philly cheese steak; the rule of thumb seems to be, if it makes you wince, it's good eating. The primary virtue of The Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness is its willingness to go over the top, and far beyond: there's an extended exegesis of Kubrick's Spartacus, "the manliest movie ever made"; photos of not only the B-17 bomber, but also "the three-tailed devil" (the P-38 Lightning); Zippo lighters; John Ford Westerns; pocket knives; and WD-40. Some might say that the Von Hoffmanns are stuck in adolescence, and they may be right--but where else can you find out who painted that picture of dogs playing poker? (Cassius Marcellus Coolidge).

    By 1929 he had photographed all classes and types of people. During this time, Sander came under the influence of modern art and its intellectual practitioners whom he befriended in Cologne. Through his discussions with them he came to understand the importance of his portrait work and was encouraged to continue. He produced the first volume of an extended series he hoped would provide an exhaustive catalogue, but in the 1930s his work fell into disfavor and was banned by the Nazis. The photography of August Sander comprises an extraordinary human document. This volume of the Masters of Photography series, which includes 43 portraits of a cross section of German society, from pastry chefs to industrialists, is a provocative glance at the Weimar Republic.

    Hence its internal difficulty, its quasi-inaccessibility, is all the more tragic, since, unlike most metaphysical endeavors, it is capable of interpreting and unifying theories in the above sciences in terms of an organic world view, instead of selecting one theory as the paradigm and reducing all others to it. Because Alfred North Whitehead is so crucial to modern philosophy, The Metaphysics of Experience plays an important role in making Process and Reality accessible to a wider readership.

    It is a book that is deeply rooted in his past - he grew up in Chicago's Chinatown - and reflects the experiences of many other Chinese-Americans in the New World. And it is the first to give us recipes that represent the kind of good, simple cooking which is done in Chinese home kitchens all over America. Here are the dishes that Ken Hom - and others like him - grew up on: the fresh, flavorful, easily cooked meals that his widowed mother, a working woman, would serve him day after day, as well as some dishes for special occasions. Hom describes how, apprenticed at his uncle's restaurant as a youngster, he soon learned the difference between what Chinese patrons were served and the sweet glop that American customers expected. But many of these familiar dishes are delicious if properly prepared, and he often gives us both Chinese-American and authentic versions of favorites like Subgum Chicken Soup, Chop Suey, Classic Shrimp with Lobster Sauce (the most popular dish at his uncle's restaurant, it doesn't, of course, have any lobster in the sauce), Classic Moo Goo Gai Pan, and Egg Foo Young. Tucked in among all these treasures are the warm personal memories that Ken Hom shares with other Chinese-Americans, such as his friend Amy Tan. For all of them food was the center of family life, and he recounts their stories, too, of shopping, of preparing all the good produce at the kitchen table, and of finally enjoying together the fruits of their labor.

    Drawing on original historical research, the author identifies the links between the art and Chinese philosophy. Fully illustrated throughout, the book includes history, theory, and philosophy; hand form; practical training; and working with weapons and competition.

    Featuring the works of eighty-seven classic, contemporary, and newly recovered writers of all genres--poetry, short fiction, drama, novels, autobiography, criticism, sermons, memoirs, journals, and letters--this groundbreaking anthology sheds new light on the creative power of the southern imagination.

    Given conditions in London, however, she might have been safer in the African jungle.

    Read by their original authors, or by other famous writers when that has been impossiblem the collection takes pride in using only unabridged versions of the original literary texts that can be heard in the recording. Probably the greatest virtue of the Entre Voces audio book collection is that it allows the listener to evoke the oral tradition that is intrinsic to the origins of every literary work. This collection also permits the listening of poetry as it was meant to be readm as it finds its own alter ego in the spoken voice. The Entre Voces collection offers poetry, narrative fiction and theatre by authors of such importance to the evolution of Hispanic literature as Filix Lope de Vega, Sor Juana Inis de la Cruz, Rubin Darmo, Pablo Neruda, Juan Rulfo, Carlos Fuentes, Jaime Sabines, Rosario Castellanos, Augusto Monterroso, Josi Emilio Pacheco, and many others.

    Internationally famous Czech photographer Jan Saudek is no exception, and equally as uncompromising in pursuit of his own unique vision. For over four decades Saudek has created a parallel photographic universe, a two-dimensional home full of longing, peopled with the most extraordinary characters and colored by desire. The timeless strength of his hand-tinted photographs lies in their poetic compositions and their forceful—at times ribald—pictorial language, with its overtones of medieval genre pictures and Baroque mythology. Rejecting the traditional beauty in his famous nude photographs, Saudek shows the distinctively different: old women, fat women, children; real people in tableaux vivants that remind us of everything from surreal early movies to fin-de-siecle carnival nights. They exist outside time, a uniquely colored and almost mythical theater of dreams. Covering his debut in the 1950s through his lesser-known work to recent images, this dazzling collection offers us the true "velvet revolution," fertile and unsettling images from the dreams we might still have.

    She recorded extensively in soul, jazz, and pop and was also comfortable with blues, gospel, and Broadway. She has subsequently been labelled as a soul singer in terms of emotion, rather than form.

    Not since the controversy surrounding the advent of the so-called New Wave writers of the 1960s and early 1970s had anyone dared to categorize writers. A work that was originally intended as an homage, to illuminate the works of many of the younger writers in the field, was vilified in numerous fanzine articles and convention panels. But Swanwick's essay was not intended to generate controversy and it remains, beyond the initial conflagration, a thoughtful and insightful look into the science fiction field of the early to mid-1980s. Herein lies the genesis of writers like William Gibson and Kim Stanley Robinson, Bruce Sterling and James Patrick Kelly. "A User's Guide to the Post Moderns," is published here for the first time since its initial magazine appearance along with "In the Tradition...", Swanwick's elegant assay on the fantasy genre, and a brand new introduction written specially for this collection.
