Tolkien composed his own version of the great legend of Northern antiquity in powerful alliterative verse, recounted here in \u003ci\u003eThe Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún\u003c\/i\u003e. In the \u003ci\u003eLay of the Völsungs\u003c\/i\u003e is told the ancestry of the great hero Sigurd, the slayer of Fáfnir, most celebrated of dragons; of his awakening of the Valkyrie Brynhild, who slept surrounded by a wall of fire, and of their betrothal; and of his coming to the court of the great princes who were named the Niflungs (or Nibelungs), with whom he entered into blood-brotherhood. In scenes of dramatic intensity, of confusion of identity, thwarted passion, jealousy, and bitter strife, the tragedy of Sigurd and Brynhild, a tale central to Norse mythology, of Gunnar the Niflung and Gudrún his sister, mounts to its end in the murder of Sigurd, the suicide of Brynhild, and the despair of Gudrún. The \u003ci\u003eLay of Gudrún\u003c\/i\u003e recounts her fate after the death of Sigurd, her marriage against her will to the mighty Atli, ruler of the Huns (the Attila of history), his murder of her brothers, and her hideous revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108232892639,"sku":"9780547394572","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/V2g1dkIVQn9780547394572.webp?v=1781215614"},{"product_id":"you-better-be-lightning-paperback","title":"You Better Be Lightning - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e2023 Feathered Quill Book Awards Gold Medal Winner \u003cbr\u003e2022 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY) Gold Medal Winner \u003cbr\u003e2022 Over the Rainbow Short List \u003cbr\u003e2021 Goodreads Choice Awards - Best Poetry Book Finalist \u003cbr\u003e2021 Bookshop's Indie Press Highlights \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eYou Better Be Lightning\u003c\/i\u003e by Andrea Gibson is a queer, political, and feminist collection guided by self-reflection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems range from close examination of the deeply personal to the vastness of the world, exploring the expansiveness of the human experience from love to illness, from space to climate change, and so much more in between. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the most celebrated poets and performers of the last two decades, Andrea Gibson's trademark honesty and vulnerability are on full display in \u003ci\u003eYou Better Be\u003c\/i\u003e Lightning, welcoming and inviting readers to be just as they are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50108504899807,"sku":"9781943735990","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/eUZzNlcwaEJvSkZhUUpZRzdBMk1yUT09.webp?v=1781222083"},{"product_id":"save-me-an-orange-paperback","title":"save me an orange - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eHayley Grace\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her debut poetry collection, Hayley gives voice to the roots of struggle and pain growing up, as well as the love and pursuit of self-acceptance that were fundamental in her own choice to live.

Finlay was a loner, a visionary looking backward to think on revolution and paradise, Arcadia and insurrection, and this book put together by his artist son Alec makes that work available for the first time in a long while, and as gorgeously as possible.

This new volume documenting the many facets of Finlay's work as a poet, sculptor, and thinker across many media and a lifetime of creative activity will make it possible to study and appreciate his work anew.

Here Terence Diggory explores the meaning of this paradigm within the context of Williams's career and also of recent critical and cultural debate, which frequently assumes violence and oppression to be inherent in all forms of relationship. Williams's special attention to the art of painting, Diggory shows, put him in a position to challenge such assumptions. In contrast to the \"ethics of reading\" deduced by J. Hillis Miller from the premises of deconstruction, Diggory illuminates Williams's \"ethics of painting\" by applying Julia Kristeva's concepts of psychoanalytic transference and nonoppressive desire. The abstract or \"objectless\" space in which such desire operates is typified by modernist painting, for both Kristeva and Williams, but foreshadowed in the work of earlier artists such as Bellini and Brueghel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published in 1991. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cb\u003ePrinceton Legacy Library\u003c\/b\u003e uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

His subjects are commonplace, seemingly innocuous at times: the encounter between a man and a dog, a collection of dolls, a walk among trees. But always the deceptively simple external phenomenon is seen as the symbol, the catalyst of an intensely felt inner experience. As he confided to his friend Frau Wunderly-Volkart: \"Oh, how often one longs to speak a few degrees more deeply!

In November 2009, Steffani Jemison commissioned a poem from Houston-based spoken word performers Michael \"Truth\" Graham and Khorey \"Greatness\" Smith. The novella is her transcription, in narrative form, of the creative process of the poets as they write, including their conversations about language, politics, street literature, the art world, and music. Two poems by Truth and Greatness, completed in 2010, describe their writing process and their collaboration with Steffani. About the authors: Michael (\"Truth\") Graham is a poet and emcee. For two years, he co-organized the Secret Word Poetry reading series in Houston, Texas, which brought dozens of nationally-recognized urban poets and musicians to Houston. Steffani Jemison is an artist whose work has been presented internationally. In 2010-2011, she was an Artist-in-Residence at Project Row Houses as well as a Core Fellow at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. Khorey (\"Greatness\") Smith is a writer and photographer. Since early 2009, he has worked as a freelance creative and commercial photographer serving clients throughout Texas. As a poet, he has performed individually and in collaboration with Michael Graham at poetry slams in Houston, Albuquerque, and Philadelphia. Truth and Greatness is published by Future Plan and Program, a provisional publishing project featuring newly-commissioned literary works by visual artists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50143932088543,"sku":"9780983381556","price":28.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/o5oeGaQ1ky9780983381556.webp?v=1783126599"},{"product_id":"the-river-white-a-confluence-of-brush-quill-paperback","title":"The River White: A Confluence of Brush \u0026 Quill - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eKen Hada\u003c\/b\u003e (Text by (Art\/Photo Books)), \u003cb\u003eDuane Hada\u003c\/b\u003e (Illustrator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this breathtakingly beautiful book, brothers Duane and Ken Hada pay tribute to Arkansas' White River in watercolors and poetry.

Writing alongside Amiri Baraka's invective \"Black Art,\" AGON builds a dossier on the aggressivity peculiar to literary speech, thinking this issue in relation to the volatile politics around poetry in America at this moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 6.6 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148631314655,"sku":"9780986050596","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/hQUWw5JG449780986050596.webp?v=1783128279"},{"product_id":"ever-herself-a-tribute-to-the-female-form-hardcover","title":"Ever herself: a tribute to the female form - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe naked female body has inspired artists from the beginning of time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet, the sculptor, the painter and, more recently, the photographer, each in their own medium, expresses the beauty, fragility and power of her form. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSometimes the image is made for profit, or vanity confuses the objective, and rather than the muse offering a glimpse into higher worlds, she has been subjected to baser realms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat this book offers is an alternative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a work that celebrates the diversity of the female figure with respect and humour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is about the women you know - all shapes, all sizes, from diverse backgrounds and of differing nationalities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than plastic, pouting personalities, here are real women sharing an intimate moment with you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir uniqueness and appeal is interspersed with erotic poetry and salient quotes too. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe words of celebrated beat poet John Esam, and the lauded William Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, SK Tremayne and Chaucer, as well as lesser-known writers, all add to the richness of this publication. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJacqui Thake, journalist, Sunday Mirror\/Daily Mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50153792274655,"sku":"9780993097041","price":63.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/xiEtP67HLj9780993097041.webp?v=1781744745"},{"product_id":"gallery-of-antique-art-paperback","title":"Gallery of Antique Art - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003ePaul Hetherington\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Paintings trawl time like nets, catching what\u003cbr\u003e stories they can, and ruins are the ground\u003cbr\u003e you walk.'\u003cbr\u003e These prose poems take the reader through a gallery of European art, notionally situated in Rome, but only fully constituted in these pages.
