A Ghost in Waterloo Station (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Brindle and Glass Publishing, Ltd, Calgary, AB, 2007
ISBN 10: 1897142285 ISBN 13: 9781897142288
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The poems in A Ghost in Waterloo Station take the everyday world as their point of departure, but the place of arrival is never the shore you started from. Vivid invocations and meditations on childhood, art, and travel bring together places and people as likeable and unexpected as the wry poetic sensibility recommending them to our attention. Greece is a country where clarity / is inescapable unless it forces your lids shut. Swallows enter their nests high on the white stacked walls at Indian Lodge as if the ghost/ of a remorseful pickpocket/ were slipping a wallet/ back where it come from. There is much humour here, and warmth, combined with an awareness of loss and the weight of history--all delivered in a voice distinctive in its combination of narrative, whimsy, and psychological observation. Greece is 'a country where clarity / is inescapable unless it forces your lids shut.' This title features poems that take the everyday world as their point of departure, but the place of arrival 'is never the shore you started from'. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

This Stubborn Self (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Texas Christian University Press, Fort Worth, 2002
ISBN 10: 0875652662 ISBN 13: 9780875652665
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A. C. Greene claimed he wrote his autobiographical A Personal Country ""to find out, from one life in one region, if all of us are not gifted from the soil whence we sprang, seeded by the people, and watered by the times."" Bert Almon suggests that Texas autobiography reveals as much about the state as it does the writer, recording geography and history; and economic, social, and religious practices. A sense of place distinguishes Texas autobiographical writing, for it springs from a state considered unique by its citizens and the world in general. Texas' history_migrations, war with Mexico, brief nationhood, slavery, Indian Wars, the Civil War, the Mexican diaspora of the twentieth century_these all contribute to what Almon calls Texas' ""exceptionalism."" Early writers in this collection_Matthews, Lomax, Beasley, Dobie, Stillwell, and others_recall a traditional Anglo Texas, a world of small towns, farms, and ranches. But these writers record, sometimes with anticipation, the approach of the modern age. Dobie and J. Houghton Allen identify strongly with particular spots of land, their ""beloved land."" And Greene and McMurtry use region as a means of explaining themselves. The Anglo tradition presents a world of stalwart, independent, hard-working people, but not all the memoirists in this volume recall that kind of family. Beasley, Owens, and Karr speak of dysfunctional families that shaped a stubborn sense of self. Other writers record a Texas outside the Anglo tradition_an urban, high-tech, multicultural society. Black and Chicano writers are most aware of the Anglo tradition because they recall its prejudices. In seeking to define themselves, and their cultural and racial heritage, their family stories become more important than the landscape. If we read autobiography unconsciously hoping to learn about the land, we read it deliberately to learn about the writer. Autobiography is a storytelling process of self-discovery, a process of giving meaning to remembered life. Some authors, like Karr, recreate the earlier self; others, like Humphrey, maintain the difference between child and adult and interpret the child from the adult point of view. Memoris from multicultural authors or from someone like Karr, who shows little interest in the state itself, may suggest that Texas exceptionalism is disappearing. Almon suggests that Texas is indeed moving ever close to mainstream America, but there is, he says, enough exceptionalism to last a while. His lively and insightful discussions of these authors reinforce that idea. Almon suggests that Texas autobiography reveals as much about the state as it does the writer, recording geography and history; and economic, social, and religious practices. A sense of place distinguishes Texas autobiographical writing, for it springs from a state considered unique.
