Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hazel Hall is not afraid to push boundaries as she explores the traditional sonnet, its connections with classical Japanese forms, and their shared musicality. She points out similarities between these forms, but also celebrates their differences. This collection includes sonnets with haiku or tanka attached, a sonnet using the same rhyme throughout, a sonnet created with fourteen lines of single-line haiku and a fourteen line ghazal in iambic pentameter. Hazel also experiments with rhyming styles, returning to basic concepts of melody and rhyme in her quest to discover 'At what point is a sonnet not a sonnet?' She observes that the sonnet form is barely recognisable in some of her hybrids. Do you agree? Readers are invited to draw their own conclusions. They are also invited to experiment for themselves.According to Beethoven, once you know the rules, you can break them. When it comes to traditional end-lines, octave, sestet and pentameter in a sonnet, Hazel Hall is well practiced. However, her unrhymed experimental free-verse, haibun as sonnets, along with combinations of other Japanese genres like tanka in this collection, not only give credence to Beethoven's affirmation. Poet Hazel Hall pushes boundaries as she explores the traditional sonnet, its connections with classical Japanese forms, and their shared musicality. She points out similarities between these forms, but also celebrates their differences. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Straight lines from A to B do not exist in our consciousness, which is constantly under attack by its impressions and experiences: seeing, smelling, tasting, hearing, feeling. They sometimes seem to have nothing to do with each other in the text, a juxtaposition of impressions, existing singularly, though they do form a whole. In memory it is words, which awaken, combine, trigger emotions, and suddenly direct to a new path, leading to different locations of the experienced. It's the famous 1+1=3! Only instead of numbers, the word unifies.Words have a body, a sounding board, permanently vibrating and creating spaces in this movement, which stretches out, narrows, and multiplies itself further-stories arise in this word rhythm, plots are traced, broken off and newly established. Windows of perception merge seamlessly as well as the internal and external view.My short prose pieces deal with the variety and simultaneity of spatial experiences in language, which I want to make to a tangible experience, to movement in the text of its language and words, which at best provoke new perceptions and perspectives in its readers. Miniatures is a selection from several of G nther Kaip's books of micro-fiction, philosophical, metaphysical, experimental.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 2024 Backhouse Lecture God's ways, not our ways: A dissident Quaker response to disability was delivered by Jackie Leach Scully on Monday July 8th 2024 in Adelaide. Jackie has been involved with Quakers for over 40 years, and has been variously an Attender, Member, Meeting Clerk and Yearly Meeting Clerk in England, Switzerland, Germany and now Australia. In 2002, she gave the annual Swarthmore Lecture to Britain Yearly Meeting, Playing in the presence: Genetics, ethics and spirituality. Jackie first trained as a molecular biologist, later moving her focus to bioethics and medical ethics. Disability has shaped her family, career, personal and professional life, and her engagement with faith and spirituality. Drawing on her personal and professional experience, she looks at traditional and contemporary theological engagement with disability. She uses Quaker testimony to explore how Friends are called to respond to disability and impairment and shares some "dissident thinking" about disability with Australian Friends, and others, to help build a world more inclusive of all kinds of difference and diversity. The 2024 Backhouse Lecture was delivered by Jackie Leach Scully. Drawing on her personal and professional experience, she looks at traditional and contemporary theological engagement with disability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this lecture, Jon Watts challenges Friends to consider how we can use modern communication tools such as the internet and social media to act and communicate in faith. During his studies at Guilford College, Jon was inspired by the courageous and sometimes outlandish ministries of early Friends such as George Fox, James Nayler, and Solomon Eccles. In response, Jon wrote and produced several albums of music. A video promoting one of these songs went 'viral', generating many lessons about what Quakerism might look like in the age of the internet. More recently, Jon has continued to explore innovative methods of ministry including founding the QuakerSpeak youtube channel, and Thee Quaker Project, a 21st century Quaker media organization. Jon argues that the internet may offer Friends a space in which they can share their experiences of Quaker life with a broader, more global audience. Just as the printing press was essential to the evolution of the early Friends, the internet may enable contemporary Friends to share our experiences of Quaker faith and practice in a more effective and relevant way. In the 2023 James Backhouse Lecture, Jon Watts challenges Friends to consider how we can use modern communication tools such as the internet and social media to act and communicate in faith.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beerstorming with Charlotte Bronte in New York is a work documenting Mary Taylor's friendship with Charlotte Bronte by one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most innovative multi-award-winning writers. The project was funded by Creative New Zealand.Rachel Fenton set out to New York from Aotearoa via Chicago to research one of Yorkshire and Aotearoa's most overlooked significant writers but found herself - a working-class woman with dyscalculia - uncovering much more.***Written over five intensive cold days in New York's libraries but spanning the author's native Yorkshire and New Zealand, from the mid-nineteenth century to the first days of Donald Trump's Presidency, Beerstorming with Charlotte Bronte in New York is ultimately about the triumph of friendship over distance. There's a wonderfully meta quality to the way you layer library life with Charlotte, with your own home, with the strangeness of New York, and the act of researching itself. There's an alien feeling to the poems in your book, a process for the narrator of trying to get to grips with cold weather, homesickness, and an unfathomable city. But there's friendship, too, with a woman called Charlotte. Beautiful, atmospheric work- Nuala O'Connor, poet and author of Nora (Harper Collins) and Seaborne (New Island)Rachel Fenton's Charlotte Bronte is the best friend anyone could want: someone who is there, who doesn't judge and understands the drive to write and love of books. She's a sounding board, someone you can run seemingly-daft ideas past and get useful replies. Someone to share a beer with. The poems explore the nature of friendships, how we make family when our actual relatives aren't available (for whatever reason) and the need to communicate and share stories to make sense of our worlds. The poems are engaging and hold their charm. - Emma Lee, The Significance of a Dress (Arachne Press) A work documenting Mary Taylors friendship with Charlotte Bronte by one of Aotearoa New Zealands most innovative multi-award-winning writers. Rachel Fenton set out to New York to research one of Yorkshire and Aotearoas most overlooked significant writers but found herself a working-class woman with dyscalculia uncovering much more.
